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

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

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

I am choosey about who I let into my private sanctuary.
I allow family and friends, race, creed, sexual orientation is irrelevant.
I don't alow strangers in, again race, creed, sexual orientation is irrelevant.
