Mike Pence Dodges Questions On Anti-Gay Discrimination In Indiana

WASHINGTON -- Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) refused to say on Sunday whether it should be illegal under state law to discriminate against gays and lesbians.

Pence appeared on ABC's "This Week" to defend his decision to sign a controversial piece of legislation intended to protect religious liberties that critics say will enable discrimination in the state. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act would allow individuals and corporations to cite religious beliefs in private litigation. Pence's decision to sign the bill into law has sparked backlash against the state.

In the interview, Pence dodged a question from George Stephanopoulos about whether the law would allow florists and bakers to deny their wedding services to gay couples by citing their religious beliefs. He also twice dodged a yes-or-no question on whether he believed it should be legal to discriminate against gays and lesbians under state law.

2. I guess failing to answer the question is perhaps slightly better than an explicit lie,

but is the difference that great? Common courtesy says when someone asks you a question, in good faith you answer it to the best of your ability, instead of evading it to the best of your ability.

3. So of course the purpose of this anti-freedom, anti-american law

is to make discrimination against gay people legal!

BOYCOTT Indiana!!!
