The problem is bakers and photographers backing out at the last minute citing their religious beliefs. With the religious freedom law, you won't be able to sue them for doing so.
I agree that if a baker backs out at the last minute there is a cause to sue. The problem is bakers and photographers are being told to either bake cakes/shoot photos for gay weddings or face fines by the state. That is wrong. Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avikian claimed the "the goal is never to shut down a business, the goal is to rehabilitate"

This Indiana law is in response to actions described by the article above.
Now I ask you this, when the state decides you need to be "rehabilitated"....are you going to be happy about it? You should be glad there is some push back against these state actions. If you aren't, its too late for you.....your already a brainwashed drone.
The law is not limited to bakers and photographers, so your disingenuous attempt to minimize the potential for damage is contemptible.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
