Bloomington, Indiana-based record company Secretly Group, which includes nearly two dozen music labels and brands, has issued a statement calling for the repeal of the state's divisive Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

The RFRA has been slammed by numerous members of the LGBTQ, business and religious communities for its potential to lead to discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation.

"We join the chorus of Indiana residents and businesses calling on Governor Mike Pence and the Indiana General Assembly to repeal the IRFRA," Secretly's statement said, going on to note: "We cherish the power which music and art can have in promoting social progress. We believe cultural events can be a great opportunity to put a glaring spotlight on injustice. We will continue to proudly call Indiana home, and we call on others in the arts community to address this issue constructively."

The statement also encouraged artists not to boycott the region but instead "[use] your art to influence the policy debate that is occurring locally ... Your performance can be a rally. We need your support locally."

Gov. Pence said on Tuesday the bill had been "grossly misconstrued," only hours before the Arkansas state legislature passed a similar bill.

Secretly Group's family of labels represent the likes of Major Lazer, The War on Drugs, Bon Iver, Angel Olsen, Sufjan Stevens and more.
