  1. All of his comments prior to signing the bill had to do with opposition to gay marriage. Same for the comments of the Republican Indiana legislative leaders. At the signing, all the phony Christian leaders talked about the law as a tool to express their displeasure with gay marriage and gays in general. For Pence to say this is not about gays and not about discrimination is a bald-faced lie. Then again, what else would you expect from these vicious bigots and willful liars who are the “leaders” of the GOP. Racists, homophobic, hateful: This is the modern GOP. Scum.

  2. Watching it now… the moran is sticking to his guns, which is not the best of ideas IMO.

  3. Watching this imbecile attempt to rationalize bigotry is even further down my list than watching Bill-O’s shitty Christian persecution-porn movie.

  4. The point of the bill is already clear, and in no way misunderstood. That’s the problem.

    What a whiny, whiny man.

    Added later:

    Governor, as this is supposed to be about religious prerogatives, just exactly how were you planning to distinguish between bigots who act out of some “religious conviction” and regular secular bigots?

  5. Oh goody goody. We get to see his Fred Phelps impression again!
