Question on Indiana's religious freedom law

[DebJ]

It has been suggested, and recommended by an Indiana newspaper, that this law's impacts upon the LGBT community
be mitigated by passing an additional law that specifically protects the LGBT community from discrimination, rather than
eliminating the new law.

My question is this: does this then mean that anyone wearing a hijab can be refused service? Or that Orthodox Jews, who
might be easily identifiable, can be refused service?

This whole topic just makes me queasy.

1. No

Religion is a protected class

2. IMO it just means discrimination continues for other groups/people. As I understand it

the intent was to target LGBT and any saying it's not is total BS. However, in a country that says it values equality it is a hostile and backward law. From what I understand anyone can trump up anything to validate their discrimination via this ridiculous law.

The entire law should be thrown out, but apparently TPTB just have to have some legalized discrimination and hatred codified into law.

3. No. I believe Indiana has an anti-discrimination law that includes religions.
