Update (4/2/2015 10:31 a.m.): The Associated Pressreports Indiana’s GOP legislators have proposed a fix to the RFRA that would prohibit “service providers from using the law as a legal defense for refusing to provide services, goods, facilities or accommodations. It also bars discrimination based on race, color, religion, ancestry, age, national origin, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or United States military service.”

Gov. Mike Pence, who signed Indiana’s “Religious Freedom Restoration Act” (RFRA), has been under a deluge of negative responses since the bill became law. The Indiana governor continues to insist that the act is non-discriminatory despite a great deal of evidence to the contrary.
