Today, in his ridiculous interview with George Stephanopoulos, Gov. Pence (R-Teabag) of Indiana tried to claim that the new IN "Religious Freedom Restoration Act" was not about discrimination against LGBTQ folks (though he refused to say it couldn't be used for that and refused to commit to make sexual orientation and/or gender identity a "protected class" in IN civil rights laws). One way he sought to mask the purpose of this law was to identify it with the federal RFRA signed by Bill Clinton in the 1990s and with numerous similar state laws like that of IL for which then-State Senator Obama voted.
To see why this is such a deception follow me below the FABULOUS orange bola to see how a law designed to protect religious minorities was twisted into weapon with which to bludgeon sexual and gender minorities.
