…”The
Religious Freedom Restoration Act says the government cannot
"substantially burden" a person's ability to follow their religious
beliefs, unless it can prove a compelling interest in imposing that burden or
do so in the least restrictive way.
Proponents
of the law say it will prevent the government from infringing on people and
their ability to exercise their religious beliefs. Whereas, opponents say it
could allow business owners to legally discriminate against the LGBT community.”

Here we are again with other issues that the LGBT community
seem to think it is designed to discriminate against them. I am a LGBT
supporter and disagree with them this time. I think I understand the point of
if “we” (a company) want to be closed on a Sunday because of a religion we
should have that right. The Indiana Law said nothing specific about any
exclusions and one can read into this or get something total different out of
it.
Today in America there are so many choices, there are more
than one: shopping center, restaurant, drive-thru, church that one can choose
from. The LGBT folks are chanting civil rights as if “they understand the true
meaning of this battle cry as the Colored, Negro, Afro-American, Blacks,
African-American do. It is funny how when there is a social out cry for
injustice in the community I cannot hear the LGBT community. I am not saying
they’re silent but really hard to hear unless “they” think it would put them
back into the media somehow.
I think the companies that want to attract certain types of
cliental should have their inclusions or exclusion clearly and visibly posted,
understood with no room for misinterpretation then people can make a conscience
choice as whether or not to patronize their establishments. As a company, I
have to right, as long as I get not government funding, can exercise my freedom
as well. I have walked into a store here in the south, and received a cold
reception then walk right out of the door with my money. My money is green, if
you have a problem with me, I truly understand and respect that, but you are
not the only game in town! [Exit stage left]

These laws no matter what is said or done a response to Gay Marriage in this nation. Republican governors are pandering to the Southern White evangelicals, and unsaved Roman Catholics in their districts. These laws are unconstitutional, and they know it. This country isn't a theocracy it's a Republic, these people are misrepresenting Christianity where is the Love Jesus spoke of? When to Atheist get married do we create a religious law in response to them? I practice my faith as a believer in Jesus, I pray for the LGBT community, and let them be.
