I imagine not every employee at the offended businesses feel this way, what about the person working at a cake shop that doesn't discriminate? Must they bow to the religious authority of their employers? Isn't that a little insane?

technically speaking that was what United States v Lee's ruling was specifically prohibiting, though SCOTUS's latest interpretation of RFRA further muddies those waters

This is especially baffling cos the one or two times I went to church the only thing I remember is they made a big deal about giving out free bread and how it was such a cool thing Jesus did. How is that different from serving cake? What is wrong with people? They spend literally every weekend re-enacting the time their savior GAVE THEM FOOD.

This and the Hobby Lobby case are both examples of the disturbing trend of bestowing religious qualities on corporations. It is telling that the governor signed this bill in a private ceremony closed off from press and the public. This bill is meant to serve private interests over those of the public.
It is a very dangerous trend to ascribe religious rights to corporations imo. For one thing it is anti-democracy; Christians overwhelmingly dominate in politics, and corporations have a much greater sphere of influence over politics than the average individual citizen. And both are well-accustomed to using self-victimization to consolidate power.

I love Indiana with all my heart, and I want to live there once I get the money. I think Indiana can change, which is more than you can say about a lot of other states can say. Progressives in Indiana think it can change, too. But change requires actual commitment and work, not just blaming people while sitting on your ass. Quality of life is still much superior to life in Illinois, where you can witness corrupt Democrats who are truly clueless about class, environmental and poverty issues. In Indiana we have a good base to work with. I'd rather commit to turning Midwest states blue than bitch and whine while accomplishing nothing.

A pizzeria in Walkerton becomes the first.
A small-town pizza shop is saying they agree with Governor Pence and the signing of the controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
The O'Connor family, who owns Memories Pizza, says they have a right to believe in their religion and protect those ideals.
“If a gay couple came in and wanted us to provide pizzas for their wedding, we would have to say no,” says Crystal O'Connor of Memories Pizza.
She and her family are standing firm in their beliefs.
The O'Connor's have owned Memories Pizza in Walkerton for 9 years.
It's a small-town business, with small-town ideals.
“We are a Christian establishment,” says O'Connor.
The O'Connor family prides themselves in owning a business that reflects their religious beliefs.
“We're not discriminating against anyone, that's just our belief and anyone has the right to believe in anything,” says O'Connor.
So, when Governor Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act into law, the family was not disappointed.
“We definitely agree with the bill,” says O'Connor.
Refusing to serve a gay couple isn't discrimination, see.

“That lifestyle is something they choose. I choose to be heterosexual. They choose to be homosexual. Why should I be beat over the head to go along with something they choose?” says Kevin O'Connor.
"Choose." Also, selling someone (everyone) a fucking pizza is not being beat over the head.
