<\/p>\nRumored LGBT \u2018Sneak Attack\u2019 Inspires Christian Panic Rally in Indiana<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tuesday is the organizational session for the Indiana legislature and “two busloads and several caravans” of Christians are planning to meet them to protest legislation intended to protect LGBT citizens.<\/p>\n
At least some of those people will have been motivated by two widely shared Internet videos<\/a> featuring Eric Miller, executive director of the pro-family group Advance America, warning of an Organization Day “sneak attack” by lawmakers in favor of LGBT protections.<\/p>\n While it is technically possible to enact legislation in one day, both House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, and Senate President David Long, R-Fort Wayne, have declared there is no “sneak attack” planned, and no proposals will be considered Tuesday.<\/p>\n LGBT rights group Freedom Indiana plans to be there as well, with its own rally.<\/p>\n Last year, as you recall, the legislature passed a “religious freedom” bill pushed by Governor Mike Pence that would have allowed businesses to discriminate against gay<\/a> couples<\/a> and got nationwide attention. After the measure made headlines, lawmakers put in a “fix”<\/a> barring discrimination under the guise of religious liberty.<\/p>\n Hoosiers on both sides are on high alert and a proposal to add gender identity and sexual orientation to the state’s civil rights laws was proposed last month by Senate Democratic Leader Tim Lanane, D-Anderson.<\/p>\n The post Rumored LGBT ‘Sneak Attack’ Inspires Christian Panic Rally in Indiana<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"indiana\"](\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.towleroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/indiana.jpg?resize=250%2C167\")
