Mark Emmert says he's 'concerned' about Indiana's new anti-gay law

Denying service to a certain population for religious beliefs.

That's not a slippery slope at all.

The market will work it out. A few back country businesses that give a shit isn't worth getting all worked up over. 99% 81% of Indiana businesses will not turn down a buck from the LGBT community. They will go out of their way to advertise that they are gay friendly.

Emmert should just shut the fuck up as usual

This. If you want to be the person/business to turn down service for stuff like this, fine, by all means go ahead. Good luck with that in today's social media world. The bigger impact is for abortion and stuff like that.

Sounds like the front porch of Indiana needs some fixin' up.

Since Indiana was already one of the states that did not protect all LGBT workers from employment discrimination, does this law now state that if a local government wanted to institute an anti-discrimination policy on its own, that that would be illegal? Or maybe a city/county could pass a policy, but people would not have to follow it?
 
My understanding is it is pretty narrow. You have to show a legitimate infringement on your religious beliefs. It's the gay wedding cake deal. I don't think you can discriminate in employment.

I agree with what you said earlier, the market will correct itself. If you don't like the gays and don't want their business, then you lose out on their business and the business of those who support them.

I feel like this bill will just tilt things enough so that if you're that grounded by your faith, it's your choice but if you're one of the gays and offended by this, then you can't file a lawsuit over it either.
 
So I read a little more, and the burden is on the government to prove it has a "compelling interest" to pass a law. So this makes it difficult for local governments.

Indiana does not allow discrimination in state government employment. In other forms of employment it is like the majority of states where an employer can walk up to a worker and say "Hey, you're my best worker, but I didn't know that you are gay. You're fired!"
