Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) said Tuesday he will back an amendment to the state's new "religious freedom" law clarifying that it does not allow businesses to deny service to anyone, and insisted that he never intended to discriminate against members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

Scratch Jindal from your list: a total flop in Baton Rouge.
What kind of protections do you have in mind? Should preachers and churches be forced to marry same sex (LGBT) couples?
Jan Brewer showed this same kind of cowardice on similar issues in liberal McCainland.
So, the homoNazis were able to completely REVERSE a law that protects religious liberty in a state that doesn’t have an ENDA, and actually PASS the equivalent of an ENDA?
I THOUGHT he was a conservative.
Turns out he is nothing more than a Republican.
I think so too.
I think it’s time we put the LGBT-mickey-mouse club to the test!!!
Mike Pence had better forget about running for president. We don’t want gutless wonders in the White House.
Mike Pence basically removed the ground from under Ted Cruz’s feet. With friends like these, who needs enemies?
This is retarded. Unless you tell the business you are gay they won’t know. Asking for a “gay wedding cake” is something completely different. I guess it would mean that they want two men or two women on the top of the cake or something like that. Of course you should be able to refuse to do that. I’ll make you a cake without the ornament and sell it to you but you’re not getting queers on the top of the cake. To me, that’s more than reasonable. Moreover, why would you want to give your money to someone who doesn’t want your money? If someone doesn’t want to sell something to me for WHATEVER reason then I certainly don’t want to give that person my money
Since the problem is about businesses being forced to serve gay weddings, couldn’t there be a clause that limits the option of refusing to do work for gay wedding services only? For instance, a baker could refuse to bake a wedding cake for gays but would not be able to refuse service for other kinds of cakes. The problem is with the cakes that will actually be used for the weddings and not with any other product of the bakery such as regular cakes, cookies, bread etc.
This could also be applied to other services such as florists, printers etc.
I believe in the case of the florist, one of the gay individuals was a regular customer that she gladly served. But she refused to participate in the wedding EVENT.
It’s too early to decide and we have been fooled before by false conservatives but I think that Ted Cruz would have handled it much better.
A person has to actually believe in something to be a real leader. Ronald Reagan was one of those true leaders who believed in something and could articulate it and was not afraid to take on the mob. I think Mike Spence appears to be one of those go-along-to-get-along politicians that are everywhere.
The left keeps using this, they have used it against Arizona when it passed laws to discourage illegal immigration. The Democrats keep doing this. It is actually a war between the states—the blue states against the red states. They are really pushing for a fight.
Could blue state governors actually keep businesses from doing business with Indiana? Doesn’t most of the food come from the red states? Hmmm.
I just want to add this...This is one of those issues that shows whether a person claiming to be a Christian really is or not.
We already know that there is no such thing as a “gay Christian” we know there is no such thing as a “pro choice or pro abortion Christian”
We know that no person that has seriously asked Jesus into their life could have anything to do with the Democrat Party, because of the pro abortion anti Christian platform, yes The Republican party has some warts and Moderate Republicans are almost as bad perhaps the same as Democrats, but there is still a pro life platform.
So people are once again showing their colors with their opinion on this issue.
I am angry about it all, am sick of the gay fags and their supporters. They all hate Jesus
Yes I weep for them as well most of the time, but right now I am angry.
Or you are going to see more places say, sorry, we are to booked up with business to do you a wedding cake.
......But REMEMBER that also the same God gives EVERYONE FREE WILL, to chose either to SERVE HIM or NOT SERVE HIM.
I rather PRAY for their CONVERSION to Christ.
” Should preachers and churches be forced to marry same sex (LGBT) couples?”
What is wrong with people who lick and eat and have sexual intercourse with human $hit ?
: )
This only goes to shown that we are a top down nation today and not a grassroots nation as we are supposed to be. Jan Brewer, Pence, Nascar and others cave because the top corporate people are intimidated by the Democrat left radicals who use Alinsky tactics on them. Who knows maybe even some of the Democrat politicians have been intimidated or even blackmailed by the Marxist element in their own party. There are thugs using their criminal arm-twisting behavior in order to get their way. This is extortion, plain and simple.
