Don Lemon: Indiana Law Allows Someone ‘to Impose Their Religious Views on’ Others

‘The law doesn’t protect religious freedom’

"Let's be honest. To say that this law is not discriminatory is disingenuous at the very least. The law doesn't protect religious freedom. It allows someone the ability to impose their religious views onto someone else.

And as someone who was raised in a Christian tradition, I don't know about you, but I was taught to offer love instead of condemnation. Love the sinner hate the sin. It should be made clear that Indiana, the Indiana House had the opportunity to include language that explicitly bar discrimination against the LGBT community. Democrats say they proposed it and they say the Republicans declined. Now, here we are.

What I am hearten by tough are people, honest people all across this country, who are vowing to pull their money and their business from Indiana unless they correct the legislation. The state can lose millions. Someone who fought for civil rights for everyone said a long time ago that the arch of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice."
