Last week, Indiana’s Republican Governor Mike Pence signed a bill known as the “Religious Freedom Restoration Act” into law—a bill strikingly similar to one proposed in Texas this legislative session. In the days since, Indiana’s religious discrimination law has sparked intense backlash from businesses, associations, local and state governments, civil liberties groups and LGBT advocates from across the country. Thousands gathered in front of the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis on Saturday to protest the new law which could be used by individuals and businesses to discriminate—particularly against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals—in the name of religious freedom.

Senator Donna Campbell’s SJR 10 is similar in scope to—and even more vague than—Indiana’s radically discriminatory bill and would allow individuals and institutions to use religion to fire or turn away LGBT Texans and could also harm women, children and Texans of all faiths. And there is every reason to believe that if Texas lawmakers were to pass such a measure, the same resoundingly negative outcry and costly economic impact would ensue.
