Answer the following questions related to the article:
1. Explain Indiana's "Religious Freedom Law." What does it entail? What do lawmakers claim its intent is?
2. What are some of the ways that opponents of the law have protested its passage?
3. Organizers of the Statehouse rally hope that one major, positive result will come from the law's passage and their rally against it. What is that result?
4. How have opponents of the law, who are also major business leaders, decided to protest its passage?
5. In your opinion, does the separation of church and state have a play in the issue that the law addresses? In other words, does the government have the right to mandate whether or not business can reject certain customers based on the business owners' religious beliefs? How does this affect personal freedom?
1. The Law says that no state or local government can prohibit anyone the right to exercise their religion belief unless it causes problems and most people believe it will give people the right to discriminate against gays and lesbians.
ReplyDelete2.Thousands of people march from Monument Circle to the Indiana Statehouse holding signs and chanting "No hate in our state" "whose state?" "our state" Fix the bill" and encouraged other to vote to get their voices heard.
3.They hope the result is that let people have freedom of religion or get billed appealed so there will be no discrimination against gays and lesbians.
4.Bill Oesterle cancels plans of $40 million expansion in Indianapolis headquarters and Marc Benioff says he will not send any employees or customers to Indiana.
5.Yes, the separation of church and state has a play in this issue because people are arguing whether business people can practice their religion belief by rejecting to serve gays and lesbains. I belief that everyone should be served no matter their sexuality or religion belief or race because in the Bible is says that no one should judge anyone else. I believe government have the right to make business owners serve everyone. This affects personal freedom by letting someone do something because they do not like that someone is gay even though they do not know that person or letting people have their beliefs and opinions on things.
Ashby Shelley
ReplyDelete1. It allows discrimination against gays and lesbians. It keeps officials from restricting people to express their religion freely.
2. Some people claim that this law gives the state a bad name for itself.Benioff announced that he would not send employees to Indiana.
3. He said that it will not promote discrimination against gays or lesbians.
4. No employees are being sent there, and expansion plan would be cancelled.
5. The government should not have the right to allow people to discriminate against a persona beliefs. That should not be what a job is based on. It should be fromt heir character and personality. That is their right to believe and love whom they please. That is not our, nor the governments place to decide what everyone believes in and who to believe in. That is their own right and it should not be discriminated against.
Jon Owens
ReplyDelete1.The state or government cannot stop anyone from expressing their religious beliefs unless its compelling toward others or that they showed the least means of expressing it. It restricts people from expressing their religious beliefs. They think its intent is to discriminate against gays and lesbians.
2. They marched to the Indiana Statehouse , chanted, and held signs up.
3. The result is that there will not be any discrimination toward gays and they can marry as they please.
4.The are strongly against the law and claimed that they were.
5. Yes it does have a major role in state addresses. The government should not have a say or make laws about religion. No body should tell you that you cant buy anything from any business just because youre christian or gay. Freedom of religion is in the bill of rights, therefore religious standpoints should not be tampered with by the government.
Jagory White
ReplyDelete1.The law prohibits state or local gov't taking away a person's religious rights unless the gov't can show that it has an interest and that the action is the least-restrictive means of achieving it. (Paraphrased) It entails that the gov't will only get involved if its absolutely necessary but they wont make a huge deal about it, they'll only intervene to where it doesn't cause an uproar. Lawmakers claim that it protects business owners who don't want to be forced to act against their religious beliefs.
2. Businesses withdraw potential employees from Indiana business firms and protesters march to the Indiana statehouse chanting protests.
3. It would encourage more people to register to vote and for them to speak there minds.
4. They cancel business plans such as Angie's List CEO cancelled a $40 million expansion to Indianapolis business headquarters.
5. I don't think the government should be able to mandate it or anything because that is just another form of segregation and discrimination which was outlawed by the Civil Rights Acts.
Will Larsen
ReplyDelete1. It allows for a person to be able to exercise its religious freedom in a business and the language of the law claims that it could be used to "discriminate".
2. By boycotting, protesting, and having big names such as Charles Barkley speak out against the issue.
3. That this law does not "discriminate" gays and lesbians.
4. They have decided not to move a bunch of their planned business expansions to Indiana.
5. it probably sounds subjective for religious freedom. And It probably violates personal freedom by not allowing people to live a lifestyle there(but this is just one state if this is an issue then just move to one of 49 other states in the US if it is that big of a deal).
Angel Harris
ReplyDelete1. Explain Indiana's "Religious Freedom Law." What does it entail? What do lawmakers claim its intent is?
Basically they are allowing discrimination between gay people and lesbians.
2. What are some of the ways that opponents of the law have protested its passage?
Rallies over 3,000 people.
3. Organizers of the Statehouse rally hope that one major, positive result will come from the law's passage and their rally against it. What is that result?
That he will fix the bill
4. How have opponents of the law, who are also major business leaders, decided to protest its passage?
Some will no longer send employees or their customers to Indiana.
5. In your opinion, does the separation of church and state have a play in the issue that the law addresses? In other words, does the government have the right to mandate whether or not business can reject certain customers based on the business owners' religious beliefs? How does this affect personal freedom?
Many people that are religious strict in churches may have a huge role in the law. The government has its rights for the state but only if its not to hurt the people that may be affected by it. They still have their rights and their freedom and the government is not treating everyone fairly. United States is a melting pot. We have different religions and ethnicity from all around the world. The governor should have nothing to do with what he thinks the state should do regarding to gay and lesbian people.
Lizzie Walker
ReplyDelete1. The law prohibits the government's ability to regulate a persons ability to exercise their religion. Many say it will allow for discrimination of gays and lesbians.
2. Many people met in downtown Indianapolis and marched protesting "Fix the bill" and "No hate in our state".
3. They hope they can get more people to vote, so their voices will be heard.
4. They are no longer sending people to Indiana or expanding their businesses there.
5. I do feel like the government has the right to allow all business owners to accept customers of all beliefs. In America there is freedom of religion, after all. However, at some point the government has to step in when it comes to religious freedom. Just because you have the freedom to practice your own religion doesn't mean that you should discriminate or hurt those of other religions simply because it is "apart of your religion".
Carrie-Grace Gardino
ReplyDelete1. Indiana's Religious Freedom Law could allow discrimination against gays and lesbians, according to critics. Lawmakers claim that the intent is to allow businesses the right to not serve people based on their beliefs if they do not agree.
2. Many of the small businesses in the community have put up signs that show that they will serve everyone. Others have started protest with chants, "No hate in our state!" and "Fix the bill."
3. Many of the organizers hope that this will encourage people to register to vote so their opinion will be heard.
4. They have decided to protest this passage by pausing any further expansions and others have protested by saying they will continue to serve everyone.
5. I do not think the government has the right to reject certain customers based on the businesses beliefs because of the first amendment. I think that everyone has a right to their own beliefs and freedoms. I think that businesses that discriminate against who they serve are taking a step backwards then what people before this period worked so hard to achieve (ex. MLK). Although the businesses do not agree with the way an individual lives, they still have the obligation to treat them with respect and serve them.
Cole Turner 1st
ReplyDelete1.) The law prohibits stare or local government from substantially burdening a person's ability to exercise their religion. It entails the possibility of discrimination against gay and same-sex couples. Its intent is to give business owners more freedom in making decisions that have religious ideals.
2.) They have protested by actually protesting in the streets and other CEOs that do not agree with the law have vowed not to send anymore workers to Indiana.
3.) That business owners will mot be forced to act against their religious beliefs.
4.) CEOs have vowed not to send any workers to Indiana & Angie's List CEO Bill Oesterle cancelled a $40 million dollar expansion on its Indiana headquarters.
5.) The Government does have the right. During the Civil Rights Era, business owners rejected customers based on their skin color. Now, it's their sexual preference. The government stepped in during the Civil Rights Era and made the right call. They should and will do the same thing here. Someone's religious beliefs are their own and since the government and this nation have already far surpassed the need for a moral guideline they have the right to step in again for equality. I quote Dr. Suess "A person is a person, no matter how small." We are all humans. We should all have equality. What you believe, what I believe, we can believe. But, without a clear moral guideline, no one can say what is right and wrong. Therefore, we should have equality for all.
Spencer Budzius
ReplyDelete1. It allows business owners to turn away customers for religious beliefs. This is so that the owners don't feel pushed towards anyone.
2. Marches have been organized and proceeded to be enacted.
3. That after it all it will push more people to vote their thoughts.
4. They plan to pull out all business from Indiana.
5. I believe that by freedom of religion every human being has the right to be admitted where he/she pleases do business regardless of religion or beliefs. Although I may not agree with every one else's beliefs if I was to become a business owner i could not see myself turning away from someone due to their religion.
1. The law says that religious discrimination is prohibited unless it has compelling interests. Lawmakers say that it allows discrimination against gays and lesbians.
ReplyDelete2. Rallies were organized with chants such as "no hate in our state" and "fix the bill".
3. They hope to end discrimination against same-sex relationships.
4. Business leaders will refuse to serve same-sex customers.
5. In my opinion, businesses should not reject same-sex customers or any customers for that matter. Business is business. Same-sex money is the same as straight money. Businesses should not decrease sales opportunities because it is against their religion to do what certain customers do. They should be treated with the same kindness even if it is unethical.
Cameron Stone
ReplyDeleteThis law allows people to refuse service to others based on religious beliefs. Lawmakers claim it is to prevent the state from forcing people against their religion.
The law has been protested by companies pulling out large economic investments from the state.
They hope to change the law so people can't discriminate against gays.
They have decided to cancel large expansions or cancel all forced work trips to the state.
I think private businesses such as a pizza joint, not a state funded business, have the right to "refuse service to anyone for any reason" because it is their private property and they can control who goes on it and stays on it. This gives people more personal freedom and promotes capitalism because if you don't like a pizza joints policies then go to a different pizza joint. Simple as that.
Tempie Ennis
ReplyDelete1.It says that discriminating against gays or same sex will be okay after June 1 when this law is passed. It is the ability to exercise a persons religious beliefs.
2. The protesters chanted and held signs as they marched from Monument Circle to the Indiana Statehouse.
3. The bill is signed.
4. Business owners do not want to be forced to act against their religious beliefs.
5.No, because as a free country, we are allowed to choose what we believe in and what we don't. And as for someone who started their own business and run it themselves, they can say who they allow into their shop. But, for the sake of a successful business they will not turn away a customer.
Emily Keller
ReplyDelete1) it claims that it stops state or local governments from enabling a person's ability to exercise their religion, unless the government can show that it harms something or someone
2) organized protests and started trends on social media platforms like twitter
3) to express their displeasure about the law, they hope it will make the them rethink their choice about passing the law
4) they said they will no longer send employees and customers to Indiana
5) No. in America we have freedom of religion for a reason, we have the choice to practice any religion or not practice at all. church and state should be completely separated because not everyone has the same beliefs, so making laws based on your religious beliefs is wrong.
Drew Forrester
ReplyDelete1st period
1.) The law in question is supposed to protect business owners and not force them to making a decision that could possibly make them go against their religious beliefs. Others claim that it is made to discriminate against gays.
2.) Opponents of the laws have held open assemblies in Indianapolis to protest the laws.
3.) The people of the Statehouse rally hope that more people will register to vote so that their voice can be heard.
4.) Business leaders such as the Angie's list CEO have decided not to have any relation of their company with Indiana because of the law.
5.) In my opinion, the government doesn't have the right to give someone legal power on a business standpoint to reject a customer on the grounds of their religious beliefs or sexuality. On a personal freedom level, it breaks the person who is reporter's human rights to freedom of religion if they were to be cast aside by the business owner just because he or she believes differently. If the business owner wants to make that a rule himself, sure, he can; he may lose customers and possibly get called to court in the process, but he can. However, I don't think that the government has the right to give him and other business owners the power to do so legally.
Brittany Davidson 4/2/15
ReplyDelete1) Religious Freedom Law could allow discrimination against gays and lesbians. The law prohibits state or local governments from substantially burdening a person's ability to exercise their religion.
2) They have protested by saying that the law does not promote discrimination against gays and lesbians.
3) More people came to vote so they could make their voices heard.
4) They stopped giving Indiana business, cancelled big business plans. Also, have said that this will give the state of Indiana a bad look and will be hard to recruit top talent..
5) NO, the government does no have the right to tell a business that they cannot serve homosexuals. If a business has homosexuals as most of their customers and then all of a sudden the government tells them that business they can't serve homosexuals; that business sales will decline. It affects personal freedom because they won't be able to enjoy a nice day out without being discriminated by people with hate towards them.
Micaela Tierce 1st
ReplyDelete1.) The law basically says that locally owned businesses can deny service to homosexuals on the basis of their religious beliefs. This entails that businesses can deny homosexuals any service by saying what they are doing is against the religion they practice. The intent is to express religious freedom.
2.) The NBA states it is bad for business, and other businesses have put up stickers on their doors saying they serve everyone. Rallies have started over this in Indianapolis.
3.) They defended that they are simply promoting religious freedom and not discrimination against gays and lesbians. They said it is necessary to protect business owner's religious beliefs. Through this they also hope people will vote more this coming election to have their voice heard.
4.) Other businesses have put signs in their doors saying they serve everyone to protest the new law. 40 million dollars has also been pulled towards expansion in Indianapolis headquarter for Angie's list.
5.) I have to qualify this. I feel like it's important to have church and law together but with so many religions in play in this day in age someone will always be a minority so to avoid conflict it should be separated. As a government we should have morals though and I think that's why we should have church play into politics. Rejecting someone's business because you are practicing your personal freedom however is situational irony. By denying service to someone because you don't agree with the way they live their life is just like taking away their freedom. Personally I feel like " christians" or " religion" is taking a lot of heat right now and actually having someone side with religion or christians is kind of hopeful. I just wish it wasn't in such a negative and wrongful way. By taking away their rights that business is essentially dehumanizing them and is not constutionally correct. " Separate but equal" is not equal. We should learn from our history's past mistakes not relive them.
Sarah Snyder
ReplyDelete1. It allows Business owners the right to express religion in their corporations. The lawmakers say that it is not intended to go against the gays or lesbians, but other people think it will.
2. There was a rally with 3000 people.
3. For people to see how these people are treated, and it gives their situation publicity.
4.they say it gives the state a bad image.
5. The government should not have the right to tell who can or cant come and eat at certain places. The government is already involved in a lot. I can see, however, if it is a private business and a store does not feel comfortable serving someone then that is their decision; though in my opinion they should suck it up, because they are not only giving them business but that is rude. Also if the government tries to take over something like this it does affect personal freedom. It is not only telling g a business what to do, but effecting people who can or cant go there.
Karen Otts
ReplyDelete1. It allows discrimination against gays and lesbians. They will support the introduction of legislation to "clarify" that the law does not promote discrimination against gays and lesbians.
2. What are some of the ways that opponents of the law have protested its passage? They protested and Rally organizers also encouraged more people to register to vote to make their voices heard.
3. More people will register to vote and that will make their voices heard
4. Angie's List CEO Bill Oesterle said he will cancel the company's plans for a $40 million expansion of its Indianapolis headquarters because of his opposition to RFRA.
5. People have the freedom to do what please, but the government should not let business owners turn people away because of their beliefs. We ended segregation in the late 60s. The civil rights act of 1964 was a law that banned discrimination on the basis of race, sex, national origin, or religion in public places and or work places. This law was passed to help end discrimination and the government should not go back to the way we were 50 years ago. If a business wants to reject customers that is their decision it doesn’t mean that it is right in any way shape or form. I think the government has already had its say as to whether discrimination should be allowed or not with the civil rights acts. Businesses should not be able to discriminate and if they do the people should have a right to bring it to the law.
Kali Sturgis
ReplyDelete1. Indiana's "Religious Freedom Law" is a law that prohibits state or local governments from burdening a person's ability to exercise their religion. It entails that business owners can discriminate and won't have to serve gay or same-sex customers. Lawmakers claim its intent is to not promote discrimination against homosexuals but no specific details about what it says has been released.
2. Some of the ways opponents of the law have protested are holding rallies against the law and by encouraging people to register to vote to make their voice heard.
3. The result will be that more people will be encouraged to vote and allow their opinions to be made.
4. Major business leaders against the passage have either canceled plans to expand into Indiana or have made the statement that they will not send customers or employees there.
5. Yes, the separation of church and state does have a play in the issue that the law addresses because they are trying to apparently "separate" themselves from religion by allowing more religious freedoms. The government does not have the right do this, though, because by making a law pertaining to allow more religious freedom, they are making the government become more involved with the aspect of religion, although they claim that is not the intention. I understand that the Freedom of Religion is a personal freedom and by not allowing a person to express it goes against the First Amendment, but from my understanding, Freedom of Religion also allows one to not believe in any religion or not have to participate in religious activities. So, by allowing one to express their beliefs, they are also enacting a law that diminishes another's beliefs and forces one to either conform to what they would like someone to believe or just not obtain any service from that particular business. I see where one would get upset for apparently "going against" their beliefs, but if one is going to hold themselves up to that high of a standard and have the audacity to withhold a service to another HUMAN BEING, not only are they losing business, but they are also going against the simple ideal that God, Allah, or any deities, whichever one may or may not include themselves in, are the only ones that can judge (or if you do not have a religion, your moralistic values), and making a judgment based on someone's sexual orientation, religious beliefs, race, ethnicity, etc., just shows how high one holds their religious/non-religious values.
Anna Williams
ReplyDelete1. Prohibits substantial burdening on a person ability to practice their religion. That gays or bisexuals could get hate for being that way.
2. They organized rallies to get people that agree with not passing the law to vote.
3.
4. By explaining that it would cause discrimination to business owners that refused service to people.
5. No one anywhere should be discriminated against because they are different. We are suppose to be 'One Nation Under God,' so in a way church and government are suppose to coexist, but you're also suppose to love everyone, so discriminating against them should not be tolerated.
Abigail Long
ReplyDelete1. it is a law that is supposed to keep people from sacrificing their religious views in businesses
2. they rallied against it by chanting and making signs
3. they hope that it will encourage people to vote so their voice will be heard
4. business CEOs and owners have decided against expanding their businesses into indiana because they dont support the law
5. the government should be completely separate from the church. they should only step in to make sure that equality and fairness is maintained. laws should not be made with only one specific religious belief in mind, this does not reject the idea of personal freedom because people still have the right to freely believe and express their views but not discriminate against others as a result of them.
ELLA NEUBERT
ReplyDelete1. Lawmakers claim it allows business' that do not support the LGBT community to be able to not support the celebration of same sex marriages.
2. Used hashtags on twitter and started boycotts against it.
3. To stop discrimination against same sex marriage.
4. They hangup signs and stickers to show customers that everyone is welcome and that they do not discriminate.
5. I believe that the government does not have the right. In any way shape or form of this it is considered discrimination which is not only unhumanly but is against the law. It affects everyones personal freedoms especially freedom of religion. The U.S. is suppose to have this freedom which allows people to have their own beliefs and instead we are using this freedom to harass others.
Riley Holmes
ReplyDelete1) It says local government cannot burden someone else's right to exercise their religious. they say its not to discriminate against gays or lesbians.
2) Protests, votes, and some business refuse to do anything with indiana.
3) That people will register to vote.
4) They refuse to extend any business to indiana by not expanding or not sending customers or employees there.
5) While theres a separation some people in government still go by the church. While I don't believe that turning customers away is the right thingI think that business owners should have the right to do what their religious beliefs convict them to do. while an individual should have the right to eat where they want etc. if the business is privately owned they should get the overall control.
Jaylin Jones
ReplyDelete1) The law prohibits state or local governments from substantially burdening a person's ability to exercise their religion.
2) A march from Monument Circle to the Indiana State house
3) To get people to register to vote
4) They are stopping the advancement of their businesses
5) Yes they do in the since that "All men are created equal" and there should be no discrimination. Those being discriminated against are not free if they are being mistreated
Ken Garayanala
ReplyDelete1. It prohibits governments from burdening a person's right to practice religion.
2. Rallying and encouraging people to register to vote.
3. That the law is not passed.
4. Preventing their employees from serving the state; Cancelling their own plans for construction in the state.
5. No, the government should not be able to mandate a business however business owners should not reject customers based on their own beliefs; This leads to prevention of personal freedom.
1. It is a law that prohibits state or local governments from substantially burdening a person's ability to exercise their religion to protect business owners who don't want to be forced to act against their religious beliefs.
ReplyDelete2. Public protests, rallies.
3.to 'fix' the bill to not discriminate.
4. Companies have stopped sending employees and expanding business there
5. I believe this is not a problem between church and state but a problem between the possible discrimination against homosexuals. I don't think anyone should not be able to get a job just because of their religious beliefs but theor character and qualifications. It potentially could affect the rights of homosexuals.
My Lưu
ReplyDelete1. The Indiana's "Religious Freedom Law" stated that critics are allow to discriminate against gays and lesbians.
2. Opponents of the law chanted and held signs as they marched from Monument Circle to the Indiana Statehouse.
3. The hope on the positive result was to not hate Indiana and "Fix the Bill". The actual result was that the law was signed.
4. The major business leaders decided to protest its passage by ending any business evolved with/ in Indiana.
5. I believe the government does not have the right to mandate whether or not business can reject certain customers based on the business owners' religious beliefs. By doing so, the government is violating the 1st Amendment, the freedom of speech. But on the other hand, I believe businesses should not reject certain customers based on their own religious beliefs. A business is not about judging somebody on their certain beliefs. Religious beliefs is a major conflict resulting crucial disagreements that are unsolvable. Whether or not the law was signed, I believe discrimination against gays and lesbians is a wrong act.
Melody Ashcraft
ReplyDelete1. This law could allow discrimination against gays and lesbians. It prohibits state and local governments from burdening one's freedom to exercise religion.
2. Encouraging more people to vote, not sending employees or customers to Indiana, chanting at big rallies
3. For people's voices to be heard
4. Salesforce.com won't send any employees or customers, Angies List is canceling their plan to build headquarters there
5. I do not believe they should have the right to mandate whether or not businesses can reject customers based on religious belief. It should be up to the businesses owner to decide who they want to do business with. This affects personal freedom because the government is telling you how to run your business.
Kalee Jones
ReplyDelete1.The law prohibits state or local governments from substantially burdening a person's ability to exercise their religion.
2.They chanted and held signs while they marched from Monument Circle to the Indiana Statehouse
3. To protest the their feelings of the controversial "religious freedom" law that was just passed.
4.Angie's List CEO Bill Oesterle said he will cancel the company's plans for a $40 million expansion of its Indianapolis headquarters because of his opposition to RFRA.
5. The government should not have to right to do this You are told you can have your own beliefs and this is totally against that telling you that you cant
Cassie House
ReplyDelete1. The law prohibits state or local governments from substantially burdening a person's ability to exercise their religion.
2. The protesters chanted and held signs as they marched from Monument Circle to the Indiana Statehouse to express their displeasure with Republican Gov. Mike Pence and rally organizers also encouraged more people to register to vote to make their voices heard.
3. Pence said he would clarify that the law does not mean to discriminate against gay and lesbians.
4. Angie's List CEO Bill Oesterle said he will cancel the company's plans for a $40 million expansion of its Indianapolis headquarters because of his opposition to RFRA and many businesses criticize the bill.
5. I do not think that the government has the right to mandate whether or not businesses can reject certain customers based on religious beliefs. In doing that, that would give some business owners with strong religious beliefs to not serve people just because they do not believe in the same thing. Everyone deserves the same treatment no matter their race, their gender, their religious beliefs, or who they are attracted to. Everyone should be treated the same because everyone is equal. This law would make people think it was okay to treat people unfairly because they have different beliefs. This affects personal freedom because if business owners chose to not serve certain people, those people would be slightly limited on their freedom.
Emylee
ReplyDelete1. It allows discrimination of gays and lesbians.
2. There was a protest march, chants, signs, and people voting against it.
3. It will prohibit governments from burdening a person's right to exercise their religion.
4. The CEO of Angie's List stopped it's 4 million dollar expansion in Indianapolis and others stopped sending employees and clients to Indiana,
5. I believe that the government does not have the right to mandate whether or not businesses can reject certain customers based on the business owners' religious beliefs.This affects personal freedom because someone can not get a job or have a service done because the owner doesn't agree with their religion. In America, it is a human right to have freedom of religion and this law takes that away.
Maya Turner
ReplyDelete1.It entails that the government cannot intrude on a person's religious liberty unless it can prove a compelling interest in imposing that burden and do so in the least restrictive way. Lawmakers claim that the intent is that it will be to refuse services for gay and same-sex people.
2. They have gathered at rallies of nearly 3,000 people chanting with signs.
3. Many people will register to vote to get their voices heard.
4. Major businesses have stopped sending business to Indiana and have even cancelled plans to expand there.
5. I do not believe the government has the right to intervene in that matter. Businesses should be fair to all customers. The customer has the right to whether or not they want to support that business. This affects personal freedom because someone who is gay may have to say they're not just to get service at a restaurant.
1. The law says that no one can prohibit anyone from practicing freedom of religion and many people believe it will give people the right to discriminate against gay individuals
ReplyDelete2.people have protested it by holding protests in town.
3. They hope that the bill will get repealed which will allow there to be no discrimination against gays
4. They have said that they will not send anyone to India any more and have cancelled all plans to expand there
5.i do not believe that the government should be able to mandate how businesss run there store and it does limit personal freedom. There should be a seperation of church and state in my opinion. They are two very different things and they should stay that way.
