"They" [meaning both sides] are spending time on it because the conservative extremists believed they could pass a law like the others, but without any protection for gay people - which the others do have. The original [Federal] religious freedom bill was the result of unintended consequences...

Agree with the guy [assuming here, lol] whose username indicates little narcissism: we don't understand enough about mental illness to know what to expect from the afflicted. Delusions of grandeur don't necessarily involve harming others, sometimes, they're just innocent fantasies.

That's a change from the policy they maintained for years, but I'm sure there are others [like shippers & consignees] who forbid pets, so it's something to keep in mind.

Incorrect claims? List them. The comment "you can't seem to grasp the obvious" was deserved: you missed the fact that not one of the sources you cited said the Indiana law is exactly the same as the others? You accept the examples I cited to mean "exactly the same", and you call out my...

Scott Walker was bankrolled by the Koch brothers in his recall election, but even they don't have enough money to finance opposition to all the extreme conservative representatives over & over & over again. Here's a better question: why would anyone become a caterer [or any service provider]...

"Virtually the same law", "shares much of the same language",n "laws like Indiana's" - notice anything they have in common? Since you can't seem to grasp the obvious, I'll spell it out for you: Indiana's law is not exactly the same as the Federal and state laws that have been passed before...

The question is: how many times can you post comments like that first sentence and consider yourself an adult capable of expressing a point of view without slinging mud at those with whom you disagree? Pence has stated that the bill is not meant to permit discrimination, but that doesn't...

This bill, unlike the previous ones [in other states] and the Federal bill, specifically left out sexual orientation, meaning it isn't protected. Business owners and landlords can refuse people because they believe they are gay. That makes it exactly what this bill is for - even Pence refuses...

It's not against their will - they freely agreed to abide by the laws when they opened a business serving the public. If they can't abide that, they have alternatives, such as a business that is not open to the public. Their choice.

Homosexuality is not a "lifestyle choice", no matter how much you'd like to believe that. Religion is, [whichever one of thousands you choose] and those who don't choose yours should not be ruled by it. It would be as logical as being ruled [with the force of law behind it] by someone else's...

If you would enjoy having a pet, you should have one. [Unless you wish to drive in a division, such as FedEx White Glove, that prohibits it.] You should also make sure the pet will enjoy it, too. Don't choose one that is not going to enjoy being in the truck for long periods, or one that needs...

One word could explain why you're wrong: gerrymandering. Because sometimes, the facts don't paint the actual picture, and you know it. And even if the state is mostly Republican, that does not mean conservative, by a very long shot. A recent Ball State University poll found that 54% of adults...

There isn't any 'force' about it: their business license requires them to obey the law, and that includes the laws against discrimination. Serving an event is not an endorsement, no matter how much they insist it is. Also, they knew what the law requires when they applied for whatever licensing...

Leaving the word 'private' off the conversations tag was not a good idea. It's confusing, causing people [like me!] to wonder if what they want to keep private is about to be posted instead. Clarifying it now, works for those of us reading this, but anyone who misses it, [like everyone who...

Sure they are, but the banks [and Wall St and insurance companies] have a far greater effect on the policies that matter to me. Hollywood is 'Tinseltown', not known for its' grip on reality, lol. In broad terms, the banks represent the profit motive, while Hollywood stands for creativity, and we...

Most of Indiana is not conservative: Pence won the election with 49.62%, his opponent John Gregg had 46.42%. That's not a large majority - and even among the conservatives, there are many who support the right of gay people to be treated as everyone else. Cindy Kirchoffer, a Republican who voted...
