It was idiotic backward of Pence and the state of Indiana to sign into law legislation that permits wholesale discrimination against gays.

Classic "useful idiot" rhetoric right there.

You think we should enact laws allowing discrimination against gays in public accommodations?

How about a baker who doesn’t want to bake a cake for an interracial couple? I suppose we should make sure a baker has that right, too.

Classic "useful idiot" rhetoric right there.

"A person whose exercise of religion has been substantially burdened, or is likely to be substantially burdened, by a violation of this chapter may assert the violation or impending violation as a claim or defense in a judicial or administrative proceeding, regardless of whether the state or any other governmental entity is a party to the proceeding. If the relevant governmental entity is not a party to the proceeding, the governmental entity has an unconditional right to intervene in order to respond to the person's invocation of this chapter."

Never mind the intent of the law. It's so vaguely written that it could literally be used to deny anyone service by claiming religious grounds. I could say that the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster commands me to deny you services because you dissed pirates and the law would have to protect me.
