- 27 March 2015, from Lambda Legal: Yesterday afternoon, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed a truly awful bill into law. This law, misleadingly labeled the “Religious Freedom Restoration Act,” seeks to allow any business to refuse service to LGBT people — and all those vulnerable to the religious judgments of others. If this sounds like a throwback to the days when business owners were free to say “we don’t serve your kind here” — and too many said that all too often — you are right. ...tell Gov. Pence that “religious freedom” is not “freedom to discriminate.” ...This new law in Indiana is just the tip of the iceberg. Legislators in statehouses across the country are considering similar bills.... While the legal issues might seem complicated, our message is simple: The misuse of religion for discrimination is not “religious freedom,” it is simply shameful.... At its core, this concerted effort is our opponents’ retaliation for our remarkable progress on marriage equality nationwide — and their anticipation of a Supreme Court ruling in June affirming the freedom to marry for us all, coast to coast. We can’t let them undermine our tremendous success. Religious freedom is a fundamental American right. And for many people, including many LGBT people, religious practice is essential for a meaningful life within a community of shared faith traditions. Religion also has been used throughout the history of our movement and many equality movements to justify prejudice and discrimination. This abuse must stop now. ....Working together, we can create a culture of dignity, respect, and inclusion for LGBT people — and all people.
