It just doesn't make sense that a company should exclude a group of people just based on their sexual orientation. It will be interesting to see if this turns into an Indiana law.

It is comical, even trivial to me that in 2015 a state in the USA would legalize segregation, especially with our extensive history regarding the battle for equality. This is literally textbook segregation. Dictionary.com cites this as "the act or practice of segregating; a setting apart or separation of people or things from others or from the main body or group", with an example of "Gender segregation in some fundamentalist religions". It uses this exact issue to give a clear picture of what segregation is.<br /> I would be shocked if a Supreme Court case doesn't come of this in the next 5 years. The only possible defense I could see of this is somehow manipulating the first amendment to apply to who you serve in your business, even though it has already been interpreted as only being able to believe in a religion, not necessarily act on it (polygamy in Mormonism)<br />Just to be clear, my laughter wasn’t in the “hah down with the gays” sense, but the “this is so ridiculous it’s actually funny” sense.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316380733245000948noreply@blogger.com
