Read that yesterday. Some are really funny and a lot simply point out the contradictions - they won't serve gays yet they will serve pork, etc.

That didn't take long.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana's Republican legislative leaders have unveiled changes to the state's new religious objections law that has faced criticism it could allow discrimination against lesbians and gays.

The amendment to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act released Thursday prohibits service providers from using the law as a legal defense for refusing to provide services, goods, facilities or accommodations. It also bars discrimination based on race, color, religion, ancestry, age, national origin, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or United States military service.

A conference committee must discuss the proposed changes to the law, and both the House and the Senate will need to approve them before they can go to Gov. Mike Pence.

Pence called for changes to clarify the law Tuesday in response to an uproar fueled by discrimination concerns.

I've actually thought this myself. You're giving a discount to somebody who may very well be a child molester or a Patriots fan.

Why would you put child molesters in the same category as Patriots fans? I know what they do is bad, but they're not anything like Patriots fans.

Just kidding, I don't watch basketball.
