Indiana & Arkansas Sign-in Compromise Laws

Indiana signed into law the bill amendments that explicitly add protections for sexual preference and gender identity. The bill cannot be used as a defense in court to legitimize discrimination. It also bans discrimination to the two and other common groups.

Opponents still want the religious freedom bill gone, and a new bill to add explicit LGBT protections. But they are currently in approval of these steps for the time being.

Arkansas nixed their original bill and signed in a new one. The new bill only addresses government intervention in religious freedom matters--not business or individuals. Although supporters say it doesn't open doors for discrimination, opponents still want more explicit anti-discrimination protection language.

Other states are stalling and/or re-thinking other "religious freedom" measures, including Georgia and North Carolina. Texas also has a proposed bill that threatens LGBT citizens.
