Indiana governor signs ‘religious freedom’ bill that legalizes discrimination against LGBT people

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

There are people who call Mike Pence an moderate Republican. Seriously?

Indiana Governor Mike Pence on Thursday signed into law a religious freedom bill that could allow businesses and individuals to deny services to gays on religious grounds.

Supporters of the bill, which was passed overwhelmingly by both chambers of the Republican-controlled state legislature, say it will keep the government from forcing business owners to act in ways contrary to strongly held religious beliefs. Opponents say it is discriminatory.

“The Constitution of the United States and the Indiana Constitution both provide strong recognition of the freedom of religion but today, many people of faith feel their religious liberty is under attack by government action,” said Pence, in a statement after signing the bill.

1. Pretty much lets one know where TPTB in Indiana are. It should be called the Hater Bill! F, I would

not step foot in Indiana. One of my friends was from there, said it's a dreadful place to live/be. He was at Purdue and also grew up in Indiana.

4. I can't see this being law for long

There is already backlash from business, sports, and music. Big Ten fans are already pushing for the football title game to be moved.
