    I love the irony that the original intent of the bill was to explicitly ALLOW discrimination, but the updated version explicitly BANS it, especially considering the fact that Indiana did not previously have LBGT protections in place. Sorry all you haters who wanna discriminate, you can't. By law. Your religion is irrelevant. Individuals have religious freedom to discriminate all they want, businesses don't.

    The gay jihadists are still protesting the Indiana RFRA because now, discrimination against religion is the accepted norm.

    You guys crack me up. Discrimination is disallowed and somehow that amounts to discrimination against you. It's a new world. Deal with it.

    There's a Constitution and Federal laws that protect the practice of Religion, change it or deal with it.

    Businesses don't have religions. People do. And get ready, there's going to bill introduced in Congress adding sexual orientation to the national anti-discrimination laws, so just as we'll have national SSM, we'll also have national anti-discrimination.
