No wonder Pence didn't want the signing ceremony done in public, or that Pence refused to identify these guys to the press when the photo became public.Republicans lie. It's a fact. Republicans lie about people to get ahead. republicans lie about policy to get votes. Republicans are a pack of liars. Republicans are dangerous, malicious liars. They can never be trusted. Republicans are despicable.
If you look at this picture under a black light, there's an image of Satan saying that homosexuality is a sin and that he is 100% Republican...right down to his forked tail.

This is what I tried to explain to brownie and av8tr.
The law serves no purpose except to pander to a base that just lost the fight against gay marriage. I don't really think this law will allow discrimination, anymore than Indiana's current constitution already did. It's all for show.

Explain it this law to me, it seems superfluous.

I'd call it 50/50, in terms of the superfluousness of laws, generally speaking.
But, what makes this particular law legit?
If you won't tell me (and I'm genuinely curious), can anyone else tell me what the purpose of this law is?

50/50? Really? That sounds awfully low.
If you want to read about businesses being sued over these things I'd suggest a simple Google search.

I wasn't asking about businesses being sued over 'these things'...
Is that what this law is about?
This isn't a trick, I'm simply asking someone to explain to me what the purpose of this law is.
Is it about businesses being sued?
If that's the case, tell me about it. In all seriousness, someone school me about this law.
Yes, yes, I've done the 'google'.
I want someone on this forum to explain to me in simple terms what this law is and why it's necessary.

“Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.”
— Judge Leon M. Bazile, January 6, 1959

“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).
Religious Freedom Restoration Act 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.
University of Virginia law professor Douglas Laycock explained, “There were cases about Amish buggies, hunting moose for native Alaskan funeral rituals, an attempt to take a church building by eminent domain, landmark laws that prohibited churches from modifying their buildings – all sorts of diverse conflicts between religious practice and pervasive regulation.”
