Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration act is gay discrimination, pure and simple. You can frost a dog turd, but it's still a dog turd.

George Takei
"Star Trek" actor George Takei on Twitter: "Outraged over Indiana Freedom to Discriminate law, signed today. LGBTs aren't 2nd class citizens. #BoycottIndiana #Pence"



Indianapolis
Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard signed an executive order reaffirming that groups doing business with the city must still abide by its human rights ordinance, which bars discrimination on the basis of categories that include sexual orientation and gender identity. "Our city thrives because we have welcomed and embraced diversity," he said. "RFRA threatens what thousands of people have spent decades building. And I won't allow that to happen without a fight."




Hillary Clinton
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tweeted: "Sad this new Indiana law can happen in America today. We shouldn't discriminate against ppl bc of who they love #LGBT"




AFSCME
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which is led by President Lee Saunders, said in a release: "AFSCME is pulling our Women's Conference out of Indiana this fall as a sign of our disgust and disappointment with Governor Pence's discriminatory law. We stand with the ever-growing number of corporations and associations who are taking similar action this week, and demanding fairness for all in the state of Indiana."





Then we have this constipated bigoted asshole




Ted Cruz
GOP presidential candidate and U.S. Sen.Ted Cruz (Texas) said in a statement:

Governor Pence is holding the line to protect religious liberty in the Hoosier State. Indiana is giving voice to millions of courageous conservatives across this country who are deeply concerned about the ongoing attacks upon our personal liberties. I’m proud to stand with Mike, and I urge Americans to do the same.

1. and there will be more to come...

...it is time for people to stop pretending the "war" against gays is over or almost done; it is getting a second wind.

2. Yes there will be more to come.

Three steps forward, two back. Reminds me of women's rights as well. Yet we will never stop fighting for either.

I know it is not over and the hate, you can actually taste the filth.

It is open season. It is just one more reason we need to band together, because if we don't, we just make their job that much easier!

It is open season. It is just one more reason we need to band together, because if we don't, we just make their job that much easier!

Yes we band together, I have said this before. No one group can do it alone!!! If your rights are trampled upon, then mine will be as well. The "Christian" force that is coming after us all, we damn well need to fight back together. Your are my rights, BtA.
