Indiana Law has Homosexuals 'Foaming at the Mouth' -'I Call It the Screaming-Child-in-a-Toy-Store Tactic'
WND
Critics of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence’s recent signature on his state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act are ignoring the fact the U.S. Constitution and the state constitution “both provide strong recognition of the freedom of religion,” Pence said.
And Monday, he said, “Many people of faith feel their religious liberty is under attack by government action.”
The signing has evoked strong reaction from “more rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth people than you can imagine,” in the words of one observer. Many activists claim the law intended to protect religious rights will allow discrimination against homosexuals.
But does it?
“[J]ournalistic abuse has exploded into controversy over an innocuous religious freedom law in Indiana,” wrote Gabriel Malor on The Federalist. “This law, known as a Religious Freedom Restoration Act … tracks the language of the 1993 federal RFRA signed into law by President Clinton after a 97-3 vote in the Senate. But you would not necessarily know how innocuous it is from news media coverage. According to what you might hear in the news, this is an anti-gay law that is ‘almost universally loathed,’ and which a White House official suggested would ‘legitimize discrimination.’ Indiana’s RFRA has none of these characteristics.”
That 1993 federal law that was signed into law by Democratic president Bill Clinton “unanimously passed the House of Representatives, where it was sponsored by then-congressman Chuck Schumer …,” reports the Weekly Standard.
“The law reestablished a balancing test for courts to apply in religious liberty cases (a standard had been used by the Supreme Court for decades). RFRA allows a person’s free exercise of religion to be ‘substantially burdened’ by a law only if the law furthers a ‘compelling governmental interest’ in the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest.’”
Indiana is not alone in enacting protective legislation. Thirty-one states already have heightened protection for the exercise of religion. Eighteen of those states have laws based in the 1993 RFRA, and the protections in an additional 13 states came through court rulings.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again….
Using thought filtered through the prism of mysticism under the guise of “religious freedom” to validate legislation intentionally designed to, or can be used against a minority, is UN-AMERICAN. Not just a minority but a law-abiding, American, tax paying one. If you ask me saying one group of law-abiding, tax paying citizens cannot do or be treated the same as other law abiding, tax paying citzens is about as UN-AMERICAN as you can get. Either you believe all law abiding, tax paying American citizens should be treated equally, or you believe that books of mythology give you the right to discriminate. You can’t have it both ways. You either believe in the concept of equality or you are an UN-AMERICAN BIGOT (if anyone has issue with the word bigot please look up the definition) when it comes to treating law-abiding, tax paying citizens equally. And trying to equate those who seek equality as being bigoted or intolerant is just plain silly. One side wants all law-abiding, tax paying citizens treated equally and the other side wants to be able to descriminate using the tired old excuse of “religious freedom”. Quit playing the people against one another. You do the TPTB bidding. We have more in common than what separate us. Quit hating and truly love and respect your fellow man/law abiding/tax paying American citizen
Think your headline should read ‘Indiana Recreates The Barbaric Dark Ages’.
Fortunately other states in the USA have more sense and have thrown out the same legislation as ridiculous. The government should step in to squash it before it causes any more damage. Just hours after it being passed the discrimination started by shop owning bigots. But at least they now know who the bigots are, they are crawling out from under their rotting wood pile and waving ‘burn me out flags’.
