Isn't this a sort of "catch 22" ? The gays have been GIVEN the right to wed and should be able to have a cake made, BUT The baker has religious convictions against gay marriage and the Constitution guarantees his religious freedom. I think the constitution wins Don't you ?


Pence vows to 'fix' religious freedom law, ensure 'no license to discriminate'
                                     Gov. Pence responds to critics of religious freedom law
 
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, whose state is under fire over the passage of a religious freedom law that critics say could allow businesses to discriminate based on sexual orientation, said Tuesday that he and legislative leaders plan to clarify the policy in the coming days. 
"I abhor discrimination," the Republican governor told Fox News. 
 
Pence said he stands by the law and there was never any intent to create a "license to discriminate." But, acknowledging the furor over the policy, he said: "We'll clarify that in the days ahead, and we'll fix this and move forward."  
Pence later held a press conference in Indianapolis calling for legislation on his desk "before the end of this week" that would make clear the law does not allow businesses "to deny services to anyone." 
"We've got a perception problem here ... and we intend to correct that," Pence said at the news conference.
