Miley Cyrus, Ashton Kutcher + More Attack Indiana’s ‘Religious Liberty’ Bill
by Zara Husaini | PopCrushA controversial “Religious Liberty” bill signed into law by Indiana Governor Mike Pence on Thursday (March 26) has already attracted a number of high-profile critics.
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) will allow business owners to deny service to same-sex couples and other members of the LGBTQ community, Think Progress reports, though Pence maintains that the law is not intended to discriminate.
Stars from all corners — including Miley Cyrus, Ashton Kutcher, Larry King, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Fault in Our Stars author John Green and Broadway actress Audra McDonald — used social media to express anger, frustration and disgust over the new law. We’ve rounded up a few of the reactions that best sum up how many of us our feeling in light of this new law.
Indiana's anti-gay 'Religious Freedom' bill signed by Gov. Pence is absurd & insulting. This is 2015. Ridiculous. #RFRA
