Twitter pounds Indiana’s Mike Pence: ‘Enjoy your last term as Governor, you ass backward dipsh*t’

While the state of Indiana is taking a beating across the country for passing the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act," allowing businesses and individuals to deny services to gays on religious grounds, Governor Mike Pence has come in for an extra heaping of scorn on social media.

In a speech following the signing of the bill, Pence defended his actions saying, "If I thought it legalized discrimination I would have vetoed it." Across the country many disagreed with the governor, once believed to harbor national aspirations, and expressed themselves bluntly.

A host of celebrities, including Broadway star Audra McDonald, Larry King, Harvey Fierstein, Miley Cyrus, and popular Indiana-based author John Green took shots at the governor, while others jumped on Pence's Twitter account to express their contempt and displeasure with his decision to sign the bill into law.

A sampling of comments below Pence's Twitter announcement of the signing the bill attended by a group of observers he has, thus far, refused to identify by name:Posted Image

Hey, I think this photo is a good example why these worthless religious fanatics should start paying taxes, AMIRITE? Seriously, why don't Y'all that that don't like the "Gays" wear a badge, mainly so if I see you run over by a car, I'll let your faith heal you.

I mean, what if the paramedic was a homogay, or something?

Seriously, there ain't nothing wrong with Indiana. That couldn't be fixed with a thermonuclear bombardment.


and:In truth, LGBT people in Indiana were already at risk. Until the Supreme Court officially proclaims, on the federal level, that sexual orientation and identity belong firmly to the existing catena of illegal discrimination, LGBT persons are protected only in states that have made explicit legislative or judicial moves to protect them. But with this new legislation the State of Indiana has solidified the rights of a powerful majority to discriminate against a marginal group.

This law doesn't overturn prior practice; it reinforces practices that are, in Indiana, already common, and in ways that often go unnoted.

A graduate student at Notre Dame, Bridget O'Brien, told us that she had on three separate occasions reported bus drivers in South Bend to the local transit association for harassing riders based on their perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. In one case, she saw an African-American trans woman almost thrown off a bus in zero degree weather. Under the new legislation, we may well find that that "almost" becomes a "firmly," as individuals take advantage of their newly acquired legal protections.

These kinds of laws are often framed and publicized in terms of the rights of small business owners-florists, or bakers-to refuse to provide services for the weddings of affluent and attractive same-sex couples. But this is not just about bouquets and baked goods, as easy as those stories are to tell and as simple as that morality is to sell.

This legislation permits businesses and institutions that provide basic needs and services-like food, shelter, healthcare, and transportation-to put the lives of a less privileged few in peril.

Gee, a smokescreen for haters? Ya' think? And before some idiot talks about how making a wedding cake for a same-sex wedding hurt your little Faith, let me remind you that as long as everyone's taxes help support the infrastructure that keeps you in business, you can *not* refuse to serve people that are behaving within the law. And I don't give a damn if that hurts your little feelings or what your book of Iron Age fairy tales says about it!

According to Pink News, a caller named "Ryan" appeared on Indianapolis' RadioNOW 100.9 to say that he is already denying service to LGBT people. He declined, however, to give the name of his business.

"I'm 100 percent behind people's lifestyles, and what they want to do, but I don't want them to bring that into my place of business, and make other people that are there feel uncomfortable," he said.

"I grew up Christian, and I believe in man and woman, Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve," he went on. "If a couple comes into my restaurant and makes other people leave my place of business, then I’m losing more money from the people leaving than coming in."

He told the radio hosts that he has already turned away people who seemed gay to him, but he made up a reason rather than tell them the truth.

"I have discriminated.I have said something was broken in the kitchen and said I couldn't serve them," Ryan said. "I told them that the fan was broken and they left."

He said that he supports the law, but continued to refuse to give the name of his business because, he said, "I’m not ready to come out with that."

Like I said, it's a war, and you Xtians drew first blood. If humanity survives the 21st Century, Christians will be remembered by history as equivalent to Naziism, as symbols of everything vile.

The boycotts are beginning. I've already contacted both eBay and Amazon to make my simple feelings known. I think the next step is to tax the churches.
