It is freedom. Freedom to think what we want, not what the state demands we think. Freedom to run our lives the way we want to run our lives, not how the state demands we run our lives. Some people are going to be jerks about and discriminate. You can write laws that will force people to do things they don’t want to do, but it won’t change their hearts or their minds. I have no problem with gays or anyone else, but I do have a problem with gays or anyone else trying to force acceptance of their lifestyle and/or beliefs on everyone through law. People have forgotten what freedom really means.
If a minister/preist/rabbi/ etc. doesn’t want to perform a marriage CEREMONY because of relgious differences, that’s one thing, but a baker not making a cake for the RECEPTION? get real. (p.s. my dad was a master baker who made fantastic wedding cakes.)
… and don’t watch the Final Four games. It’s possible you’re part of the .0015% of people that Nielsen tracks. But if you DO watch, watch the commercials – so you can boycott the products.

Seems that several posters who do not agree that this Indiana law legalizes bigotry are displaying another “Freedom,” the Freedom to be Ignorant!
