Of the 13 religious freedom bills introduced in state legislatures around the United States this year — which critics say would legalize discrimination against LGBT people — one leads the pack in Indiana, where a measure appears on the verge of passage with backing from the general assembly and governor.

“I would predict the bill passes on Monday,” Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma told BuzzFeed News in a phone interview Thursday.

Described by one of his critics as “the most powerful person in Indiana when the legislature is in session,” Bosma had just wrapped up a House vote in which his Republican majority shot down six amendments to soften the bill, all from Democrats, in 60-to-30 votes. “I think the votes on the amendments were a strong sign of how the bill will fare in final passage,” said Bosma....

At a news conference earlier this week, Gov. Mike Pence said, “I strongly support the legislation and will sign it if it reaches my desk.” A spokesperson confirmed Thursday that Pence’s view on the legislation has not changed.

1. Stop persecuting the Christians by not allowing them to persecute others

They should be "free" to persecute people they just don't like.

7. Since the biggest 'law' in the US, the US Constitution, as well as most state constitutions already

codify religious freedom, one can be positive that any new bill with such a name aims to deprive someone of rights. Repubs are prone to oxymoronic names (and moronic ideas of 'social justice').
