Washington (CNN)Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is set to sign into law a measure that allows businesses to turn away gay and lesbian customers in the name of "religious freedom."

Wow. WTF Indiana????
You trying to out-religious the bible-belt states?
Is Indiana becoming Mississippi2.0 or something?
This is going to be interesting to watch.
Business owners ought not to have to bend to every protected class. Especially ones that go against their personal faith.
This is a backlash against the actions of unelected Federal judges who over-ride the wishes of the majority of a states voters.

Apples to orangesCan I get a witness?
This is excellent news. Hopefully this reinforcement of the concept of liberty will spread. Kudos to Mike Pence
This shouldn't require a bill.
No business should ever be compelled to serve anyone.
Rock on guys.....rock on. :roll:

This is america, we don't allow discrimination. You want to live in a theocracy, there are plenty of miserable places you can move to.
Then I'll think any business that actually does so is run by a dickhead and I'll probably go on social media to complain about them.
I still won't think I need a law to force anyone to sell me ****.

So, a store could decide not to sell to blacks, or christians or disabled or vets?
Okay, I will.
That should be legal.
I certainly don't approve of it, but there is no rational basis whatsover to compel them to give custom.
It is worth noting that during the time of Jim Crow laws commonly made such discrimination mandatory - that is equally unacceptable intrusion into the property rights of a business owner.
The free market is a voluntary exchange of goods, services, and property. The government has no business interfering with such voluntary exchanges.
Business owners ought not to have to bend to every protected class. Especially ones that go against their personal faith.

We discriminate all the time. Discrimination is actually people exercising liberty. Non-discrimination laws are government exchanging the liberties of one person for the security of another.This is america, we don't allow discrimination. You want to live in a theocracy, there are plenty of miserable places you can move to.
