'Indiana Is A Great Place To Be A Bigot' Spoofs State's Religious Freedom Restoration Act


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/27/indiana-great-place-bigot_n_6955812.html

The Internet Action Force (IAF) team is spoofing Indiana's controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act with this tongue-in-cheek video.

Mimicking a travel commercial, the clip praises Indiana for its world-class cities, sports teams and "Hoosier hospitality that makes everyone welcome, especially bigots"

"If you love covered bridges and discriminating, book your trip to Indiana today," the group writes on its YouTube page.

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act into law March 26. The legislation allows individuals and corporations to cite religious beliefs as a defense when sued by a private party. Thus, business owners who don't want to serve same-sex couples now have legal protection to deny service.

The KKK has been there since organizing in 1915 so this new law is right up old Hoosier alley — par for the course.

Time to boycott where it can be most effective.
