Indiana’s religious freedom law drew an attack Sunday from the White House even though Indiana Republicans say President Obama voted in favor of similar legislation as an Illinois state senator in 1998.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest didn’t deny that Mr. Obama voted to pass the Illinois Religious Freedom Restoration Act but said the Indiana law appears to “legitimize discrimination.”
“When you have a law like this one in Indiana that seems to legitimize discrimination, it’s important for everybody to stand up and speak out,” Mr. Earnest said on ABC’s “This Week.”
Meanwhile, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, a Republican who signed the bill last week, came out swinging Sunday against what he described as an “avalanche of intolerance” aimed at the legislation, which gay rights organizations say allows discrimination based on religious convictions against homosexuality. The law has led to numerous actual and threatened boycotts of the state, even though the federal government and 19 other states have such laws....

The regime did not approve of Arizona Senate Bill 1070 either.
_ _ _ _ em and the horse they rode in on,
What if not everybody stands up and speaks out?

Where are other Republicans on this issue? Why are they all silent? The whole thing is ridiculous. Nobody is asking someone if he or she is homosexual before selling him or her a cookie. Christians are just refusing to participate in a ceremony that goes against the Bible.
When it comes down to it, though, if we are not free to discriminate with whom we associate or do business, then we are not free. Yes, even based on race. Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams agree on this. Businesses who discriminate lose some business, paying the price for their choices, but government has no right to outlaw it.

Ha, ha... wait, that’s not funny. :-(
Exactly! If it is a private business, you have to abide by their rules. I mentioned in another thread that a (very good) restaurant down the street from me requires that you have no religous artifacts showing when you dine there. No Yamaka’s (sp), no crosses on a necklace, etc. It turns out that the owner had enough of Religous bickering at his restaurant and made this a rule years ago. People complained and “banned” his place. I’ve eatem there a few times. Very good food and packed nightly so... Whatever. Don’t have to like it.
I personally think he must have had a bone to pick with someone but this has been a rule for almost a decade.
the financially in trouble angie’s list decided to do self promoting excuses as to why they could not build a new HQ.
This was her excuse and it is utter BS.
Do not pay for angie’s list and watch the company continue to be downgraded.
This BS is about giving the sexual fetish behavior a protected status. Thus ANY sex act other than normal couples will be a “special protected class” by their mere sexual orgasm methodology.
