decision is growing over indiana's new freedom of religion law. some say it opens the doors for discrimination against gays and lesbians. scott thuman is here with more on the controversy. what's the story? scott: you can hear that criticism from indiana to the white house but there are two sides to this story. so let's try and explain what's happening here. republican lawmakers as well as the governor there in indiana say that the law is meant to prevent big government from telling businesses what they must do. for example, religiously, they don't want to do business with certain people, the critics, though, say that the law makes it easier to discriminate especially over sexual orientation. either way it has created such a firestorm that today, after a long list of businesses including ones like apple and angie's list spoke out against the new law, republican leaders announced this morning that they will alter or amend it. >> i think it's terribly unfair what's being said against our state. we don't support discrimination in this state. somehow, people are suggesting it for that reason. >> the governor and the republican leaders won't say it but we will. discrimination is wrong it and should be illegal. scott: indiana is hardly the only state with a law like this one. what makes it so different? what are people angry about this particular one? we'll explore and that talk about the proposed changes, what may be taking place that could at least quiet some of the anger. but that's still up for debate, too. have that for you coming up in an hour. scott thuman abc 7
