Throw in the fact the state legislature (Republican super majority) has been on a roll lately with broadly based laws with that sort of wording. In my opinion those laws prevent local communities from passing/upholding certain ordinances. The state seems to be on a power grab of sorts as of late.One example is the way it's being used by sex offenders/pedophiles. A suit was brought claiming their religious freedom is being infringed because they are not allowed to attend church. State law prevents said persons from attending churches that have schools. Also the Church of Cannabis was formed and claims smoking marijuana is part of their religious ceremonies. I happen to think that one is hilarious.aftermath of the anger among LGBT activists with Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) passage into law.
There is your culprit. That was a terrible law that is still having some unintended negative consequences for the state and governor. The O'Connors took the full brunt of the rage from Governor Pence's unexpected decision to sign it. They were definitely railroaded into being the face of the RFRA. I thought some of the media coverage was irresponsible and the behavior of certain LGBT supporters abhorrent. There is no room for that kind of slander and/or threats of violence in a society that takes such pride in its freedoms. I do think it was a mistake on the daughter's part to make the comment in the first place given the atmosphere. Luckily they ended up making lemonade out of the situation.
That avi is making me drool!!!!
Stop it at once!!!
And this: ""a governmental entity may not substantially burden a person's exercise of religion...[unless it] (1) is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest; and (2) is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest."
What's the prob?
