Despite the massive backlash the state of Indiana and Gov. Mike Pence received following the passage of its “religious freedom” law that would further protect businesses that discriminate against LGBT people, the legislators in Indiana decided not to investigate the issue of anti-LGBT discrimination in its state over the summer.
The Legislative Council, a group of legislators from both chambers of the Indiana General Assembly, decided on topics for summer study committees prior to the 2016 legislative session, but passed on studying the addition of sexual orientation to civil rights protections in the state, according to the Indianapolis Star.
