Schwarzenegger slams Indiana's anti-gay law
Los Angeles, April 5
Former California
Governor and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger expressed his anger and
disappointment over Indiana's religious freedom law.
Schwarzenegger
opposed what he sees as his party's discriminatory agenda in an op-ed
for the Washington Post, reports people.com.
"I'm incredibly
concerned about what happened in Indiana this week and the threat of
similar laws being passed in other states. As a Republican, I'm
furious," he wrote.
Schwarzenegger is referring to the
controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act, signed into Indiana law
on Thursday by Republican Governor Mike Pence.
Those who oppose
the the law say it could allow businesses, landlords, and others the
opportunity to deny gays, bisexuals, and transgender people services,
citing religious reasons as an excuse.
The action star goes on
to slam Republicans for their failure to adhere to former President of
the US Ronald Reagan's vision for the party, as well as their inability
to capture young voters.
"Distracting, divisive laws like the
one Indiana initially passed aren't just bad for the country, they're
also bad for our party," he wrote.
