The turmoil over religious freedom in Indiana is generating a response that, if successful, could do a lot to settle the controversy over government demands that Christians violate their faith by supporting homosexual “marriage” in a way that has not yet been tried.
It’s a “Marriage and Religious Freedom Act” that would bar government discrimination against individuals or groups because they believe in biblical marriage. It also calls a halt to federal actions to deny or revoke a group’s tax-exempt status over that issue, and it would ban the government from using someone’s sincere faith convictions to deny distribution of a federal grant, contract or employment.
The limits all appear to be aimed at government, unlike most laws, which either prescribe or proscribe what a person or company must do, but there’s a reason for that – according to those support the plan.
The government has been doing the discriminating.
“Government didn’t create marriage and has no business redefining it,” said an announcement from Family Research Action, a relative of the Family Research Council, which is condemning efforts in Indiana to kill a simple, straightforward religious freedom act that already exists in nearly 20 other states – and at the federal level. FRC Action is working with elements in Washington on the plan.
The national media largely misrepresented the bill, saying it codified discrimination against homosexuals. So the Indiana legislature came up with a change, which the FRC said actually would deprive Americans in the state of their constitutional rights.

why the fuss? it's the same law clinton got passed so indians could smoke, transport, possess payute without being arrested.
Al-Gayda is what they are. In the exact same league and no difference as Al-qaeda and ISIS. Forcing those with different beliefs to adhere or else they seek to destroy. Instead of choosing the many other bakers, florists, photographers that they know will provide them with their services, they prey on those they know are Christians.
In this they are in the same league as a pedophile, preying on those who are innocent. They are filthy, putrid degenerates who aren't worthy to even breath the same air as those who without question stick to their beliefs.
That is all this crap is about... how do you turn a once great country upside down? well you take everyday life that we are all used to, you take the military, and religion and flip it upside down... Once you see that, then you can see or predict what is yet to come...
America was founded on godly principals, so you have to force one religion to be "tolerant" to the other side who does not worship a deity and for them not to have the same "tolerance"...
But what do you expect when you have a bunch of gays who worship the devil in the govt? exactly what is happening today...
It is OK for the no god loving people to refuse service to Christians but oh no, don't let a christian do that too a devil worshiper, you will be forced to server them or go to jail or lose your business... Not to mention it is to start a upheaval... because the govt knows we will clash eventually... Just another way to keep the masses fighting each other...
The funny part is when push comes to shove and it starts hurting Corporate America's pocketbook the homosexuals that are out to convert everyone's beliefs to theirs, are then dismissed as the 2nd Class citizens that they are. We saw this with Duck Dynasty. Oh they were going to destroy Phil Robertson and in the end they lost because money won over as it always will. Unfortunately the homosexual community isn't bright enough to see that they are nothing but useful idiots-but only to the degree it doesn't infer w/the wallet-to the left.
