Jindal: Be Careful About Creating ‘Special Rights’ for Gays and Lesbians (Mediaite)

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (R) told Meet the Press Sunday morning that it was possible to pass laws that both protect religious liberty and refrain from licensing discrimination against gays and lesbians, though he cautioned against making gays a protected class, as they are in New Orleans.

“The good news is our society is moving in a direction of more tolerance,” Jindal said. “My concern about creating special legal protections is historically in our country, we have only done that in extraordinary circumstances. It doesn’t appear to me we’re in one of those moments today.”
