Celebrities speak out against Indiana’s homophobic law
BEST-selling supernatural fiction author Stephen King has joined a string of celebrities speaking out on social media against the recently-passed and controversial Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which allows any individual or corporation to cite its religious beliefs as a defence when sued for discrimination.
Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration act is gay discrimination, pure and simple. You can frost a dog turd, but it’s still a dog turd.

How about ending the ridiculous exemptions churches get on taxation, the government will rake in billions of dollars and solve the budget problems overnight!
Another idea –
How about we pass a simple law banning all religious cults – Such as All forms of Islam, All forms of hatred by using any religion as an excuse directed and/or undirected at LGBTI persons and/or couples, All forms of Islamic State and All forms of Christianity!
