Thoughts in a Haystack

More fallout from the Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act debacle in Indiana …

Up to now, 28% of the population of Indiana has been protected by local laws from discrimination based on sexual orientation and 21% from discrimination based on gender identity.

As a direct result of the RFRA flap, more local communities are considering extending anti-discrimination protections to LGBT people.

Tonight, Muncie, Indiana joined in and another 70,316 people were added to those in Indiana protected from discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

It turns out the Indiana RFRA is having quite an effect … just not the one its sponsors expected.

And that's a good thing!

Thank goodness for the Law of Unintended Consequences.
