I'm trying to figure out if 50 is supposed to be Chris Christie, RIck Scott or Bobby Jindal. I realize that Sam Brownback is still in play, but Rick Perry doesn't count anymore, abd Greg Abbot hasn't truly plumbed the truest depths of his stupidity just yet.

But, yeah, the phrasing here is a bit odd.

While getting the RFRA "fixed" in Indiana was a nice touch, you have to remember that it's still perfectly legal to discriminate against LGBT people in the Hoosier state. Sexual preference and gender identity are not protected classes, so "I'm not serving gays" is as valid a stance as it ever was.

THe only thing the RFRA "fix" did was make it so that you couldn't claim RFRA as a defense against a discrimination lawsuit. "Gays are not a protected class" is still a perfectly valid defense, though.
