Seattle Mayor Prohibits City Employees From Traveling to Indiana Mar 28, 201 By EMILY SHAPIRO
The mayor of Seattle today prohibited municipal employees from traveling to Indiana on city funds, as the backlash spread against the state's Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray's decision comes in response to the law signed Thursday by Indiana Gov. Mike Pence that allows businesses to refuse service to gays and lesbians for religious reasons.
Murray said Indiana's new law "doesn't reflect the values" of Seattle.
"Seattle has been a leader in the fight to protect civil rights and ensure equality for all people -- no matter who you are, or who you love," Murray said today in a statement.
"This is why I am ordering that none of our taxpayer dollars should go toward supporting this discriminatory law," Murray's statement continued.

Is Seattle Mayor Ed Murray insane? Or is he just a hate-filled idiot?
He's your typical queer bandwagoning the queer agenda.
To: Steelfish
This is becoming an amusing hysteria.

does the law state that lesbians and homos can be discriminated against or does it say that businesses may exercise their religious beliefs in their own private businesses..

Seattle has been a leader in the fight to protect civil rights and ensure equality for all people — no matter who you are, or who you love,” Murray said today in a statement.” Unless you are a Bible believing Christian, then libs like him despise you.
