Indiana's "Religious Liberty" Law Challenged By Gay Writer
Quote:
The following is not snark. It’s an honest and practical inquiry: How will merchants in Indiana determine which customers can now be refused service under the state’s new “religious liberty” law?

So, perhaps Indiana now needs a law requiring I.D. cards for all citizens — yellow for the hets, pink for the homos — to protect both the souls and the profits of faith-full, freedom-loving Chamber of Commerce members. Or maybe gays should be required to tattoo their foreheads for quick identification. If so, the same should go for straight people who practice oral and anal sex, since what offends some religious beliefs is “sodomy” defined more broadly, not merely loving someone of the same gender.
What about Jews? Some conservative Christians believe God does not hear the prayers of a Jew. If He can discriminate that way, why can’t a car salesman refuse to sell a Chevy? And what about adulterers? Indiana’s new law is so broad, it clearly protects the freedom to deny service to adulterers if that offends sincerely held religious beliefs. If so, and there’s going to be some sort of I.D. system adopted, it could incorporate a scarlet “A.”
I just don't get how someone can be so hateful for this law to actually come to existence, it worries me deeply. This is the United States, supposedly an open minded liberal Western country that cares about equality and freedom. How can a human being even think like this?
