A Message to Governor Mike Pence
Indiana’s Republican Gov. Mike Pence signed into law a proposed
fix to the week-old Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) on Thursday amid
uncertainty as to whether the move would ease intense criticism plaguing the
Hoosier State.
Angie’s List CEO Bill Oesterle said. “There was not a repeal of
RFRA and no end to discrimination of homosexuals in Indiana. Employers in most
of the state of Indiana can fire a person simply for being Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Transgender or Questioning. That’s just not right and that’s the real
issue here.”
Governor Pence! What are you thinking?
Indiana’s right-to-discriminate law must be refused by the
Supreme Court as an act of vandalism created by a Governor who has not a clue
about the history of this country. Sometimes I wonder whether you have common
sense or the sense of a cow.
For example, if an Indiana employer showed up at work today and
told a gay employee, “I don’t like gay people, so you’re fired,” that would be
legal. It was legally permissible last week; it will be legally permissible
next week.
OK Governor – I will impose a law that forbids the issuance of
license to operate any kind of business if you aim into DISCRIMINATING any
group of people based on religious beliefs, or if you feel that you can discriminate.
BUSINESS and RELIGION do not mix. You can only operate a business if you can
serve the population. Otherwise, your business must be closed.
Just the word “discriminating” sets ground to have any business
license revoked, dismissed, cancelled, etc. This is pure and simple. If you cannot
stand the heat, do not open a business. Businesses are created to serve the
entire population, and if Indiana cannot operate within these standards, the
Governor must step down, and business owners must watch themselves, for they can
lose their license to operate if they place religion beliefs ahead of the real
meaning of business.
I just wish you take a look at your own state and see how many
people are living in sin, such as divorce, cheating, stealing, lying, bigotry,
etc. Who are you to judge whether being gay is a sin bigger than cheating your
people of values.
I am sorry, but this is outrageous.
