Religious Freedom Restoration Act Receiving Backlash from Evansville Businesses
EVANSVILLE -- Suzy Blesch has worked in a costume shop for almost 30 years, and she has seen many characters and creatures around, but it does not matter what anyone looks like or what anyone does. Everyone is welcome.
"It's important to me that whenever you walk into Nick Nackery to understand that you will be treated with respect," Blesch, the owner of Nick Nackery, said.
Gov. Mike Pence (R-Indiana) signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act into law Thursday morning, which could give business owners the right to refuse services to people based on their own personal religious beliefs.
In response to the new law, Blesch has posted a notice on her door, letting everyone know just what she thinks about the RFRA.

(67,112 posts)1. Everyone should be concerned about this! Some IMO think it's just about LGBT. It's not,
anyone can be discriminated against by this bill, even those thinking they are the perfect "normal" whatever, in the USA. It sets the foundation for wide discrimination for all types of reasons and undermines the US in so many ways. It basically says, hey, discrimination for whatever reason is just perfectly OK. It's a stupid, ignorant law, framed by stupid, ignorant people.
