The sodomites are entitled to no more rights than any other citizen.

These are not “rights” these are special privileges afforded sodomites over the rest of us.

Leftist group think at work. These laws are a ridiculous waste of resources, and the state is being defamed for a religious liberty law.

Until the Muslims get there and discriminate against the LGBT’s on religious grounds that will be acceptable.

"This really comes down to a battle of big business and big money against small businesses and religious liberty"

Three guesses on which side will win.

How about a law that everybody has to be transgendered? That would end all the confusion over who goes in what restroom.

The governor has said he will prioritize religious freedom over LGBT rights,

At least until they protest, then he will fold like a cheap suit.

If this issue has done anything in the past few years, it has proven to me that the so-called “business wing of the GOP” is every bit an enemy to my values and beliefs that the Democrat Party is. I rally for their demise, along with the corporate America which has not only supported the depraved homo-fascists, but used its power to extort on its behalf. Abject evil.

Indiana is a historically Republican state, the most conservative state east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio Rivers. It has gone GOP in every Presidential election since 1968. Yet the GOP-e is pushing rights for sexual perverts, along with the Democrats. Moderates and neo-conservative express shock that the Republican rank and file have by and large rejected their preferred candidates in favor of Cruz and Trump. Their actions, whether at the state or Federal level, have alienated the rank and file from the elite. Actions like promoting special rights for deviants are what exacerbates that alienation.

Pence is a traitor of the most despicable type.

the state's business establishment has pushed lawmakers to adopt civil rights for all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

This, I seriously doubt.
Some queer advocacy group is applying the pressure.

No sane business man would willingly and knowingly hire a person whose judgement and mental state is so obviously flawed as to believe they can change their sex, or that an attraction to someone of the same sex is natural.

[No Dems 2016]

Why in the world would the business wing of the GOP want to support something that would just create expensive, stupid litigation for business owners? Republicans hold huge majorities in the Indiana legislature and if they can’t stop this nonsense, I’ll be highly disappointed.

Their only right is not to demand extra special rights and my right is to not kowtow to their every whim.
