(Indiana) Group puts Angie's List on 'Bigotry Map' over RFRA

The hypocrisy is absolutely stunning.


http://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2015/07/13/group-puts-angies-list-bigotry-map-rfra/30102075/


A socially conservative advocacy group has identified three Indiana organizations as anti-Christian bigots, including the Indianapolis-based consumer reviews company Angie's List. The American Family Association, a self-described Christian pro-family group, listed the three groups on a national "Bigotry Map" that it promoted Monday on social media.

The map includes more than 200 groups across the nation that the AFA says "openly display bigotry toward the Christian faith."

Angie's List is the only business in the nation to make it onto the map. Two other Indiana organizations — Americans United for Separation of Church and State and Atheists of Northern Indiana — are also listed. The map was introduced in February but updated to include Angie's List after the national firestorm over Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

But because they came out against RFRA'S institutionalized discrimination, they are now "anti-Christian".

Makes my fucking head spin.

It's apparently bigoted against Christians to just be an atheist or to favor equal rights for LGBT people. That's nonsense.
