Indeed.....18 of the 20 states that have similar religious protection laws are not as two-fisted as Indiana's. The law that B. Clinton and Obama backed years ago contain written protections for minority groups (even Texas, a Right-Wing paradise, made sure to implement such wording...)....
That's why Indiana is getting such mammoth blow back....
The funny shit is Pence showed his hand by A) signing the bill behind closed doors and B) by the company that surrounded him at the time of the signing. Three of the cats in back him have been quite upfront about how the threat of gay marriage and gay rights is infringing on the religious rights of the public...This law was a way to appease that conservative, bigoted contingent....
Nigga ain't stupid...But now he trying to play the nut role....lol...All of those businesses and corporations threatening to bolt Indy is spooking Republicans...Money talks and u know the rest...
