Indiana Religious Freedom Act Opens Door For First Church Of Cannabis

Hurray for the law of unintended consequences!

Unintended, maybe, but no more unforeseeable than the rest of the economic backlash we're facing from it. I know a couple of guys who go to that 50,000 attendee gamer's convention every year, which pulled out of Indiana over it.

Good, they can be hit where it hurts - their economy.

I was just thinking, this uproar in Indiana is kind of off track.  There were plenty of challenges to gay marriage.  But the Indiana law, while it is no doubt a response to gay marriage, doesn't even address gay marriage.  It's like the right got itself into a panic when the courts weren't siding with them on the marriage issue, and in desperation, they come up with another way to fuck gays over.  You know, just to even things out a little:  "OK, I guess you guys can get married, but just to make sure you don't get to uppity and think your equal to the rest of us, we're going to screw you this other way.  You may be winning on the marriage thingy, but we want you to know we still hate you.  So there!"

Or maybe the marriage thing just got them wound up.  Now they're all dressed up in their courtroom outfits, but no reason to go to court.  Well now!  You don't want to waste a perfectly good head of steam in a situation like that, so while you're all psyched up, you find some other way to harass gays.  And if gay's eventually prevail on every equality issue, holy shit!  They will being going down their hate list looking for the next minority to fuck with. 

It will probably be the atheists.  It was probably those damn atheists that put the gays up to marriage and equality, anyway, so they will go after atheists.  But who knows? They could decide to harass dumb blondes, or maybe kids that aren't very good at baseball.  Maybe they won't notice us.
