Gov. Pence signed into law a bill that would allow business' to reject people due to "religious reasons"...most attention has been put towards gays on the issue. Your Thoughts?

Works for me.
Private business is just that.

I'm not watching a video on it.

That's fine, as long as certain industries are excluded and their exclusionary practice must also be displayed on the front door alerting their customers

Private businesses are private businesses. That said, I really don't want to hear folks in Indiana bitch if they start losing business over it. I've already seen some people complain about them potentially losing GenCon (which puts a decent amount of tourist money into the Indy area) and it's basically you wanted it, you got it.

ThIs is egregiously unconstitutional and will be struck down by the Supreme Court. There can be no such thing as private business in a country that has democratic principles.
If a business is allowed to serve only some segments of the population then it is practicing discrimination. A Pandora's Box of discrimination towards many (any?) groups will have been opened. Chaos and division will result.

Well, when I'm about to sell a Mutual fund, I first ask if they like to take it up the arse.
If they do, I either refuse their business or sell them a Pacific Life fund

This has to be the most ill conceived law anywhere in the U.S.A. Couple this law with the freedom to practice any religion you want and voila, you are black/white/purple and can't shop here. Race card whatever blah blah blah...
Show me a KKK member that isn't a bible thumpin protestant. Religion + law = discrimination in this instance. This law has no chance of surviving at the federal level.

I'm fine with it, so long as private businesses can refuse service to blacks, whites, jews, Christians, etc. as well.

Agree with this. It's a win for free enterprise. The obvious recent issue is a Christian owned business should not have to provide services for gay patrons that conflict with his/her religious convictions. And likewise if a gay owned business doesn't want to provide services to Christians then fine and dandy.
