we have a lot to get to the night, and now to indiana as mike pence promises that gay ss and lesbians discrimination will not be allowed under his discrimination law, and we have miguel marquez live there. and the governor flip-flopped in fixing the law, and what did he say today? >> he said look he doesn't think that the law as that he signed in private discriminated against gays and lesbians but he want abs fix to it. what is the fix. he says that he will not sign something that include ss protections for the gays and lesbians in the civil rights charter for the state, but he will akccept something different, and what it will be i don't know but i did ask him about the personal views in the press conference about the business views and religious beliefs and whether they should have religious services about the gays and lesbians getting married and this is what he said said. >> i don't support discrimination against anyone. the question that you pose though i believe, it's we are dealing here in a free society with always a careful balancing of interests, and the facts and circumstan

it doesn't mention lesbians. it doesn't mention any of the other groups that fall into the lgbt heading. but an enormous storm has arisen over this. >> the law doesn't even have to say any of that in indiana because there's no antidiscrimination law protecting gays and lesbians in indiana. there are a couple cities that recognize it. but the religious freedom recognition act is basically meaningless when it comes to gays and lesbians in that state because they are not recognized as a protected class. >> that's right. the fact is people who may wish to discriminate against gays or lesbians are no more or less able to do that today in indiana because of this law than they were before it was passed. so you get an idea of the level of the distortion and the deception that has been practiced to bring down this fury on the state of indiana's governor and this pizza guy. >> brit, do you think there is room in today's day and age for someone who believes that -- does not believe in gay marriage to maintain that belief? >

reason this is a huge moment is because republican legislators in indiana voted to make gays and lesbians a protected class for the purpose of this law. that is a huge moment in this in indiana, one of the more socially secure conservative -- socially conservative states in the country. john: i believe it will come alive in indiana again in the future. next month in our coverage of the hoosier state, jeb bush. first, he backed mike pence. then he backed mike pence again when he said the law should be changed. just position is "we should not discriminate based on sexual orientation," that is his new position. has he enhanced his position, or diminished? john: i think he has diminished -- mark: i think he has diminished because he is not the monopoly on being the guy who will fit hard truth. last night what he said at a fundraiser in san francisco, that is where his heart is. but when he spoke to hugh hewitt, he came down much harder on the side of religious liberty as opposed to gay rights. john: here's the quote, right, the longer quote. if you are a florist and you do not want to partici

school desegregation racial area, or states that barred gay couples and lesbian couples from marryingone phase in every civil rights struggle is to stop government-sponsored discrimination. another phase is to try to make society in terms of employment housing, public accommodations less discriminatory. you are never able to change everybody's hearts and minds but what you can do is change the way congress operates about what people have is a fair and equal opportunity to be employed, get fair housing, to eat at lunch counters. the second phase, which goes on at the very same time that you are fighting government discrimination, you are fighting commercial discrimination. but the second phase of ending commercial discrimination is something that goes on long after you have eliminated government discrimination. that is true in the racial area, and in the gay rights area. mark: a few years ago, the scouts change the rules to allow scouts themselves who are gay to be in the scouts. this would be an adult employee. beyond the symbolism of scouts in american culture and american life, is t

but the petitioners, these gay and lesbian couples -- >> or not. or not. i mean -- that's not what they're saying. they're saying leave it to the people. it will be worked out later -- or not. >> but what these gay and lesbian couples are doing is laying claim to the promise of the 14th amendment now. and it is emphatically the duty of this court in this case as it was in lawrence to decide what the 14th amendment requires. what i would suggest is that in a world in which gay and lesbian couples live openly as our neighbors, they raise their children side by side with the rest of us they contribute fully as members of the community, that it is simply untenable -- untenable to suggest that they can be denied the right of equal participation in an institution of marriage, or that they can be required to wait until a majority decides that it is ready to treat gay and lesbian people as equals. gay and lesbian people are equal. they deserve the equal protection of the laws. and they deserve it now. thank you. >> thank you, general. >> thank you, mr. chief justi

to your point, he did not say that he was ready to establish gays and lesbians as a protected class. in fact, he said the opposite of that on the weekend programs that he now noted were a series of bad interviews there. with that said what are the chances that you could see a deal where gays and lesbians would be a protected class in that state? >> well i think that's up to the speaker and the governor. look, i'm all for the healing. i want us to heal and i think it has begun. i want it to accelerate because it's doing great damage to our state, but those two leaders can speak out and move this forward, and the democrats are united in supporting protection for sexual orientation and moving forward and getting this behind us. meanwhile, hoosiers want everybody here. we like people. we love the tourism industry and, you know i'm inviting everybody to come here and have a good time like i'm going to do at the final four. >> chris, let me bring you in. since the fallout wednesday you've lost one convention to the tune of $500,000 in economic impact, nine more were on brink of cancelling.

this particular act protects everyone, including gays and lesbians. gay cake baker could not be forced to make a cake for a celebration of marriage between a man and woman and make a cake that expresses that they don't have to do that under this protection. this law is a shield not a sword. >> why is the governor changing and now saying a few days after what he said was a terrible set of interviews on sunday that he needs a clarification and that indiana hoosiers need a clarification, if it is a okay. >> i think it is obvious, tamron that he has been threatened economically. indiana has been doing fabulously. one of the most successful states in the union in terms of bringing economic growth. now all these businesses are threatening him. even the ncaa tournament nascar. here he has all the people's lives in indiana in his hands, their future their economic future, and he is beginning to feel the heat. i think that explains it but that doesn't make it right. it is wrong. this bill is logical, reasonable protects freedoms for every american. it happens

gay and lesbian people are equal. they deserve equal protection of the laws, and they deserve it now. thank you. justice roberts: thank you general. mr. bursch. mr. bursch: thank you, mr. chief justice, and may it please the court, respondents are not saying we're not ready yet. respondents are really echoing the questions that that justice breyer was asking. this case isn't about how to define marriage. it's about who gets to decide that question. is it the people acting through the democratic process, or is it the federal courts? and we're asking you to affirm every individual's fundamental liberty interest in deciding the meaning of marriage. and i think this whole case really turns on the questions that justice scalia asked. justice sotomayor: i'm sorry. nobody is taking that away from anybody. every single individual in this society chooses, if they can their sexual orientation or who to marry or not marry. i suspect even with us giving gays rights to marry that there's some gay people who will choose not to. jus

mark: your party has not always supported equal rights for gays and lesbians. president came out relatively recently as well as you. did that give you some pause in saying republicans are behind the times? sen. bradley: i would hope that they could move over and put this issue behind us and move forward. mark: by doing what? sen. bradley: by saying whether you are gay or not should not be subject to discrimination. mark: is there any area in which you think the gays and lesbians are entitled to exactly the same rights as every other american? sen. bradley: i think they should be married and have every other right. absolutely. mark: what caused you to change your view on these issues? sen. bradley: i kind of grew up. like a lot of people, thought that all gays should have the same legal rights but not marriage and then realized i think marriage is a part of it. mark: will republicans play a political price and don't change on this issue? sen. bradley: i think basically yes because the whole electorate has moved and if they are out of step, it becomes a character

it wasn't the same thing as having a mom and dad and we're the children of gays and lesbians who arest gay marriage and we've also seen gay and lesbian voices themselves and saying i'm gay but i'm against gay marriage. it's not as if the lbgt community speaks in one voice on this issue and i think justice kennedy will want to look at how redefining marriage impacts everyone and i don't think he has a crystal ball to know whether or not it'll produce good outcomes or bad outcomes so we leave it to the democratic process. >> there's no question, all of the science, dozens of independent peer reviewed studies says there is no difference whether a child is raised by opposite or same-sex parents. a child deserves loving parents and according to the american academy of pediatrics there is no difference. >> what happens -- i want to move on to something else quickly here because there does seem to be most supreme court watchers do believe the kennedy is likely to find some right of gay marriage although none of us can be sure. if that happens, where does the movement go next? >> sure. i mea

others say, it will allow businesses to deny service to gays and lesbians.closer look in a segment we call "a couple things." ♪ [ cheers and applause ] now one of the reasons you think this law will allow people to refuse participate in a gay wedding are the words of eric miller, a supporter of the bill who wrote on advance america, a christian baker and florist and photographer should not be punished for refusing to participate in a homosexual marriage." now, the words in the sentence are very telling. even more telling, the use of an exclamation point. [ laughter ] you think that's bad. he originally had four of them and the words were all caps.

because they have all the gays and lesbians on their show. that if i come on the show i will tear down their belief system to advance my goal is to debunk everything that they are saying, to be true what i know is july. we have tragically watched our nation caved in to homosexuality propaganda. more and more people are falling for the lie that homosexuals are born that way. well, we know that's a lie anyway. homosexuals have successfully made inroads into hollywood, television, our children's public schools, universities, our government, the president of the united states, and now our churches. homosexual marriage is growing in america. reality which is currently being litigated in our nation's supreme court as a potential federal civil rights. but we know this is not a civil rights issue. the color of my skin is an immutable unchangeable characteristic. i can't change from black to white, but i did live a homosexual life for 14 years come and i've been out 17 so we know that change is possible through the power of jesus christ. if same-sex m

signed last week in indiana, which critics say open the door to discrimination against gays and lesbiansreporter: what is controversial is that it gives business owners a legal defense based on their faith. they can refuse service based on their faith. left wing liberal papers are outraged about this. this law allows individuals or corporations facing discrimination lawsuits claiming serving gays and lesbians burdens their religious freedom. you can see the title of this editorial. they are using religion as a cover for a good tree. it is a very different picture than conservative papers. look at "the wall street journal." they say the question is who is being intolerant. it is paradoxical as americans become more tolerance of gays, liberals are becoming more intolerant of those with religious views. indiana is not targeting gays, liberals are targeting rejection -- religion. it comes in the wake of the charlie hebdo attacks in january. one of the critics is a common newspaper. they are alarmed by the so-called french patriot act. they will threaten the public freedom with anti-terrorism

and if people are gay or lesbian, i mean, that is their right. it doesn't affect your family at all. so why do we want to discriminate against people because they have a different sexual orientation? in fact, people get killed because they happen to be gay or lesbian. and that is wrong. and i think for women, just in general, when we talk about women feeling intimidated, and they feel like if they speak up they're going to be criticized, hey, that's okay. it's important that we speak up, even if we do get that criticism from other people. we have to consider that it's like a blessing. if you feel like you're doing the right thing and you're standing up for other people's rights, then if people criticize you... well, even like myself, when you talk about my children, a lot of criticism, because i wasn't the mother that i should have been to my kids in terms of giving them as much time, and dragging them all over the country, and living in this terrible extreme poverty that we lived in. but, you know, it built a lot of character for them. and you h

he said, to the extent it could in any way be prejudicial to gays or lesbians, he opposes it.re. the governor of indiana, mike pence, said this week he will fix the law, that he will move to make sure that it does not discriminate against anyone. however, when he was asked over the weekend whether he would add sexual orientation, be in favor of adding sexual orientation as a protected class in the state of indiana, he said that is something he's not working towards right now. what should be done to fix this? >> i'm suspicious. i think if people can exercise discrimination based on sexual orientation, then it's wrong. i don't know how the law reads exactly so i don't know what words you would change. b when you get all through, you read the law and you can discriminate against people based on sexual orientation, i would say somebody better do something about it. >> should sexual orientation be a protected class in the state of indiana? >> generally, yeah, the answer is, they're entitled to equal rights, equal acceptance, 100%, in the eyes of the law. >> interesting. i went on t

it triggered outrage and fears that it would protect businesses denying services to gay and lesbians. late thursday night indiana governor mike pence signed a fix into law that clarified the meaning of the religious freedom law. but even that didn't stop some from the final four to protest. several national lgbt groups took to the streets ahead of the tip-off, to voice their outrage against the new law which they say still discriminates against the gay and lesbian community. a banner even flew over in opposition against the law, and its fix. but hoop fans hope that that can wait. today is all about basketball. >> today the governors of connecticut and new york lifted their travel bans to indiana, because of that new wording we mentioned regarding the religious freedom law. >>> and calls to action in the bay area today. families of the 43 missing students in mexico are still looking for answers as to what happened to their children. they gathered in the mission district to rally for support on this march at the bart station to a local forum at a local middle school. >> they're here to

rejections to the bills are they would allow discrimination against gays and lesbians. in indiana and arkansas and all the other states that are not colored in in this map, there is no state law that protects them. this has been news to a lot of people. not only are the vast majority of americans supportive. eight out of ten believe it is already illegal to refuse to hire someone because of sexual orientation or gender identity. a similar number thinks it's not okay to refuse service to people. in most states that is legal. it hasn't been decided by a court. the fact that it is legal is really unpopular. that has become clear this week. mike pence backed off and amended his bill in indiana. asa hutchinson backed off. and also in arkansas. the republican leader of indiana senate promising the legislator would take up the issue next session. governor of north dakota is telling his fellow republicans to pass one. there are a lot of indications that the response to the indiana law has forced them to look at this and conclude they're on the wrong side of history on this one.

they have all of the days and lesbians on the show. if i come on the show i will tear down their belief system that is our goal to the debunk everything that they are saying. to be true i know whether it is a lie. we have tragically watched our nation cave in to homosexuality and propaganda. more and more people are falling for a lie that homosexuals are born that way. we know that is a lie anyway. homosexuals have made in roads into hollywood, and television. our children public schools, universities. the government. president of the united states and now our churches. homosexual marriage is growing in america. reality, which is currently being litigated in our nation's supreme court as a potential federal civil right. we know this is not a civil rights issue. the color of my skin is an unchangable characteristic. i can't change from black to black. i did live a homosexual life for 14 years. have i been out 17. we know change is possible through the power of jesus christ. if same-sex marriage becomes law of the land no one can even im

. >> hundreds of people calling for gay and lesbian rights marched through downtown indianapolis today. they want more protections added to the state's religious freedom law. gay and lesbian athletes held a news conference to call attention to changes made this week to the controversial law. >> clarification of the religious refusal law was an important step to decrease threats to lgbt people living in or visiting indiana. but the amendment fails to meaningfully protect them from discrimination or provide lgbt people with equal rights. >> rights. >> the protest coincides with the arrival of hundreds of basketball fans attending the ncaa final four tournament in indianapolis. >>> meteorologist allyson rae will be back after the break with a look at your easter forecast and what to expect next week. >> and then, there is me. diane roberts. i'm here in tampa. your maryland terrapins will be music: etta james "at last" (plays throughout) ♪ sometimes, at last doesn't happen at first. ♪ ♪ your dad just kissed my mom. ♪ turning two worlds into one takes love. ♪ helping protect that world take

so in this instance, subjecting the civil rights of gay and lesbian individuals and gay and lesbian couples to the whims of a particular judge under the very murky area of a balancing test is not what is needed. what is needed is a more categorical test for protection of gays and lesbians. what's particularly striking, governor pence said he was for religious liberty and against discrimination, as if those two things were mutually exclusive. religious liberty claims are use often used to oppose in sad history of civil rights. i believe we are seeing a repete here. >> molly, you might argue these are separate issues but some feel it's closely connected. i assume you believe women, people of color, people with disabilities should all be protected by law against discrimination, but what about gay people? should they be protected from discrimination as well? >> it's really up to the people of arkansas and indiana to decide whether they want to pass another law that burdens people in the state. that is truly up to them and i hope people have that discussion in a calm, non-hysterical environment,
