So a solution to all this mess would be starting up a new religion, and let Indiana become the first place on Earth and History in which Gay Sex is adored as a Supreme Deity, conveyed by its throng of Holy Gods?

I forgot to type the "officially" but, in any case, what you linked to would be only one small part of what I proposed...

POSERS!!!

There would be at least one penis on the site of a gay God, most likely though the first image encountered would be Antinous with big throbbing boner.

INDIANAPOLIS - An October conference has become the first to pull out of Indianapolis due to controversy over the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

I'm surprised that no one else recognizes the removal as the first shot in what will become a very bloody religious war between the Pastafarians and the Ecclesia Antinoi.

 

[TX-Beau]

"...Whatever happened to the Pastafarians anyway?"

"Oh, he's over there,"

"SPLITTERS!!!"

This is really getting good. Look at this one.

Wilco cancels Indianapolis show over religious freedom law

By David Taintor

It’s not just politicians who are avoiding Indiana over the state’s new religious freedom law, which critics warn could sanction discrimination against LGBT people. The Grammy Award-winning band Wilco has canceled an upcoming performance in Indianapolis over the measure.

BTW Who is Wilco?

 

[White Eagle]

Here's a long one. I haven't had time to read it yet but so far it's great.

The epic fallout of Indiana's anti-LGBT 'religious freedom' law

by Kerry Eleveld

Here's a round up of the some of the best developments following the decision by Indiana Gov. Mike Pence to sign a "religious freedom" bill Thursday that ensures discrimination against LGBT Americans.

Republicans say they did not hear any of the issues now being raised before the Governor signed the new law. However, WTHR has video of State Rep. Matt Pierce (D-Bloomington) raising the possibility of discrimination on March 19. He spoke out in favor of a proposed amendment to take away any possibility of discrimination under the bill.

"Instead of waiting, let's just go ahead now and fix it," Rep. Pierce said on the floor of the House in March. "If we don't, then this new law, new body of law would be enabled to allow discrimination. So let's put [the amendment] in there."

The amendment failed.

looks like the pubs in Indiana got themselves into one hell of a fuck knot


going to be fun watching them try to squirm out of it

Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz have come out in support of anti-gay discrimination in Indiana.

What a surprise!

You can see America in transition here.

Republicans are surprised that their traditional whipping boy (us!) is becoming instead their tar baby, as attitudes toward homosexuality change. They lost the gay marriage battle, so they opened up this new front of anti-gay discrimination. But that isn't working, either - at least not as effectively as they had expected. They don't quite know what to do about it.

The GOP depends on stirring up hatred and fear to garner votes. Only the hatred has become more of a dislike, and the fear more of an annoyance. And that isn't good enough to frighten people into voting for you.

Bush and Cruz are rushing to the old vanguard of hate, because they don't know what else to do. They are revealing themselves as old candidates without vision in a party without ideas. They surely can see where America is headed, but they don't know how to seize that enlightenment and champion it to the betterment of the nation and the betterment of their party.

The problem for Republicans is that they are NOT a conservative party. There is nothing conservative about anti-gay hatred. The GOP is the religious party of the right. Its base is slowly dying away, and the party lacks the leadership to become something else.

White men over 75 - "the base" as we call them, are watching their world (which never existed in the first place) disappear. They are living with their illusions by attacking us. It will (or already has) failed. I find the national push-back gratifying.

America is becoming progressively less white and progressively less Christian. Those changes are inevitable. You can wax nostalgic about where we came from, but our future will be different from our past.

Instead of championing a changing America, the GOP is trying to stop non-whites from voting and trying to cram Christianity down the national throat. They seem to think they can hold back the ocean with a toy shovel and a sand bucket.

I, too, find the national push-back against Indiana gratifying. We are becoming a better people than we were. I think our future will be better than our past.

I have even changed my opinion of Miley Cyrus. Somewhere in my travels I saw she was outspoken on the law and wants to boycott Ind also. Still don't like her music but i like her attitude now.

A host of celebrities, including Broadway star Audra McDonald, Larry King, Harvey Fierstein, Miley Cyrus, and popular Indiana-based author John Green took shots at the governor, while others jumped on Pence’s Twitter account to express their contempt and displeasure with his decision to sign the bill into law.
