that Indiana Gov, Mike Pence(R), can't see a problem with the state's new law that obviously discriminates against gays, while others are shocked by it. I happen to know an Indi-Uckian, (border area of Indiana/Kentucky) who is one of the most religious/rightwingers I know, BUT, he claims he is 'not at all' religious, and 'not at all' rightwing. This disconnect with reality comes from the fact that the Bible Belt mentality is SO pervasive that an average, normal thinking person would be considered a Far Leftwing Liberal in their Conservative, Literal-Bible-Believing enclaves. It's a different world, where discriminating against gays is second nature, as the local govt helps to fund Noah's Ark theme parks, with statues of Jesus riding on a dinosaur. Not surprising that they 'just don't get it', like certain Mormons see nothing wrong with sending their 13 year old daughter off to be the 75 year old elder's 10th wife. It's all about the 'community' you live in, and the Southern mentality(R) sees nothing wrong with discrimination against people who are 'sinners', 'choosing' to be gay, cuz that's what they're taught, from the time they started Sunday School and learned the earth, (with all the plants and animals), was created in 6 days, approx 6000 years ago, and then a talking snake got the FIRST people kicked out of the Garden of Eden, so they had to join a nearby tribe, where their son Cain found his wife.
