Lately, the good old Hoosier state has been under fire from LGBT activists, celebrities, corporations, and small businesses alike after Republican state governor Mike Pence signed a law called the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, or the RFRA. Critics and opponents of the act alleged that the law would allow the owners of Christian-owned businesses and companies to refuse service to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender customers.

Despite several revisions made to the law to prevent discrimination against LGBT consumers and to ease tensions between Indiana’s state government and its citizens, many residents of Indiana living on the principle of “Hoosier hospitality” are appalled by the actions taken by Governor Pence.

On March 26, the Governor of Indiana Mike Pence signed the controversial Religious Freedom bill into law in his state. The bill was supported by many anti-LGBT organizations such as the American Family Association, and by conservative politicians such as Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio, all potential 2016 presidential candidates.

The passing of the law has resulted in outrage in Indiana as well as in the rest of the nation. Thousands rallied in front of the Indiana courthouse, demanding the law be repealed. Many corporations, including the NCAA, Subaru, Apple and several Christian organizations denounced the state law. Several states banned state-funded travel to Indiana, and popular Chicago-based alternative rock band Wilco cancelled a concert in Indianapolis in protest, citing the passing of the law as the primary reason for the cancellation.

Later the same week, Gov. Mike Pence revised the law to ensure that discrimination against LGBT customers would not occur as result of the law. As a result of the revisions, state-funded travel to Indiana was restored, and Wilco decided to reinstate their Indianapolis concert. Despite his seeming change in heart, many residents are still condemning Pence’s actions.

Arkansas has also considered passing a similar Religious Freedom law in the wake of the controversial measures taken by the state government of Indiana. The Arkansas law has also faced considerable backlash.
