great article blasting David Brooks's simpering defense of Pence in NYT today...
http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a34023/david-brooks-is-a-moral-monster-but-exceedingly-polite-about-it/?fb_ref=DefaultBrooks says it would be nicer if folks upset about the Indiana law were just "understood" their adversaries more...like sitting down and shutting up...
I think Brooks is so ill at this point the NYT needs to put him on medical leave...

There is no doubt -- none -- that the law Pence signed is directly aimed at the rights of LGBT citizens -- and specifically, at their right to get married. It isn't about protecting the rights of the Amish in Decatur County to grow their beards, and it isn't about allowing the remaining members of the Kickapoo Nation to use whatever they want in their religious rituals. It is about allowing people to discriminate against their fellow citizens in thousands of private transactions. The history of this bill begins almost to the day on which Indiana's attempts to ban marriage equality failed in the courts. Its primary supporters admitted its real purpose right from jump.
