....LGBT groups cheered the victory Thursday morning, but said Indiana still needs to codify comprehensive nondiscrimination protections into law.

"The changes proposed by the Legislature represent a step in the right direction that takes us closer to achieving our goal of passing the Fairness for All Hoosiers Act," said Freedom Indiana Campaign Manager Katie Blair, referring to a proposed measure would protect LGBT people from discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations. "Today, the harm has been lessened, but we have not reached the day when LGBT Hoosiers can be assured that they can live their lives with freedom from discrimination."

"It’s long past time to enact a comprehensive nondiscrimination law," Blair continued, "and we must continue to work to ensure, once and for all, that the RFRA cannot be used to discriminate against or hurt anyone."................

What is broken is the Fundies interpretation of their own religion injected into and poisoning the secular State and the secular constitution, that has to be fixed also.

That is forbidden, look it up in the Secular Holy Books, The Constitution and The Bill of Rights.

protections for LGBT in employment and housing. Always have. Real this law, they still have no protections from such discrimination.

According to DU's self proclaimed populists, when you deny gay people jobs that's not an economic issue, they say this: 'you can't eat your rights and 'only economic concerns matter, your rights are a bone they toss which does you no good without a job'. They seem unaware of the lack of rights concerning jobs.
Fuck them, for they know not what they do.
