SUPPORTERS of gay rights have united in outrage after the US state of Indiana adopted a law critics say would allow businesses to deny service to homosexuals on religious grounds.

“It is vitally important to protect religious freedom in Indiana,” the Republican governor said in a statement.

My God, this makes me so mad

Are you advocating that homosexuals should have the right to enter an establishmet that the propritor has put off limits to them?

What about the rights of the propritor to exclude any group he wishes from his establishment?

Why should a proprietor need to have any reason to exclude anyone?

Everyone excludes who ever thy like from their home so why should a proprietor be any different?

Yeah, I've just invented a religion which say blacks and single mums are an abomination. THe law allows me to ban them on religious grounds. Are you going to challenge my religious rights???

Aside from setting back equality I don't know how many years, this is just another example of American religious conservativeness gone nuts.

you're so right!!!

wouldn't want to catch teh g hey now would we.

stupidest question ever - your home is your private sanctuary that nobody has reasonable expectation to be admitted to without invitation.

A business on the other hand is open to the general public and owners usually don't exclude anyone without cause, and if the cause is their sexual orientation then that is discrimmination.

gee I wonder what religion that would be

poddster — Sun, 29 Mar 2015 10:37:11 GMT

And are you saying that excluding people, for whatever reason, from your home is NOT discriminatory

Re: Why do we allow such Stupidity!!!!

pct001wine — Sun, 29 Mar 2015 10:37:26 GMT

Quite right too. The State should issue store owners with a sticker they can put on their shop window "Hommasekshuls not served here" or better still give the store owners a nice pointy white hat to wear so they can be easily identified.

Well it certainly wouldn't be that 'love one another' christian religion!

I am choosey about who I let into my private sanctuary.
