INDIANAPOLIS (AP)
-- Actor George Takei is among those condemning Indiana’s religious
objections law. The “Star Trek” actor also known for his gay and civil
rights activism said Thursday on his popular Facebook page he wants
“socially responsible companies (to) withdraw their business, conferences
and support” from Indiana.
Indiana Gov. Mike
Pence signed into law Thursday a religious objections bill that some
convention organizers and business leaders have opposed amid concern it
could allow discrimination against gay people.
Conservative groups
backing the bill have said it merely seeks to prevent the government from
compelling people to provide such things as catering or photography for
same-sex weddings or other activities they find objectionable on religious
grounds.
