    its sad that people have ruin good things that are helpful to others. also i don't get why this person had the thought to just post and add just so he could kill some people they need help cause they are not all their.
  •  
    This is crazy. I agree with Amanda. They ruined something that other people use for help. It's disturbing that you can't really trust a lot of people.
  •  
    This story just shows that people really do hide behind social networking sites. They aren't who you thought they were. I feel bad for the kid. I would be terrified too!

    It is sad to know how our society really is. You can't trust anybody these days, it seems like.

  •  
    They're using the right word - "fix" - but will they end up in the right place? It's hard to tell. Gov. Mike Pence and House Speaker Brian Bosma each chose that word - "fix" - with purpose Tuesday as they sought to assure Hoosiers, the nation and the world that they and Senate leader David Long can revise the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to ensure it's not a tool for discrimination.

    Expressing you religion is I think is fair but rejecting gays publicly isn't. It is setting a bad example to our public and generations to come. By allowing the option it's is basically telling others it's ok not reject gays when it's wrong to do.
  •  
    This is just wrong. No human should be sent away if they are willing to spend money at your business, especially if they are gay. People should be free.
  •  
    Religious freedom? The bible says "Love Thy Neighbour", not shame them and deny them for who they are. It also isn't fair that the sports players are effected by one man's decision.
  •  
    I think it is ridiculous that anyone is still being discriminated this kind of stuff. It's something that isn't new, people need to be more open minded and worry so much about what others are doing.
