Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is facing protests over a new measure that could sanction anti-LGBT discrimination. The so-called religious freedom law prevents state and local governments from imposing a “substantial burden” on those following their religious beliefs. That could allow businesses to refuse services to LGBT customers. On Saturday, thousands of people marched in Indianapolis calling for Pence’s resignation. Critics have called for a boycott, and some, including former NBA star Charles Barkley, are calling for the upcoming Final Four college basketball championship to be moved out of state. Speaking to ABC News, Pence refused to answer whether it will be illegal to discriminate against LGBT people.

Gov. Mike Pence: “This is not about discrimination. This is about empowering people”—

George Stephanopoulos: “But let me try to pin you”—

Gov. Mike Pence: “—to confront government overreach, George.”

George Stephanopoulos: “Let me try to pin you down here, though, on it, because your supporters say it would. And so, yes or no, if a florist in Indiana refuses to serve a gay couple at their wedding, is that legal now in Indiana?”

Gov. Mike Pence: “George, this is—this is where this debate has gone, with misinformation. And frankly”—

George Stephanopoulos: “It’s just a question, sir. Yes or no?”

Gov. Mike Pence: “Well, well, there’s been shameless rhetoric about my state and about this law and about its intention all over the Internet. People are trying to make it about one particular issue, and now you’re doing that, as well”

In response to the criticism, Pence says he will seek a new measure to “clarify the intent” of his new law, though he added that LGBT protections are “not on my agenda.”
