‘Religious Freedom’ Laws Modified

The governors of Arkansas and Indiana on Thursday quickly signed revised versions of their respective “religious freedom” laws, hoping to quell a national uproar that united business leaders and gay rights activists who fought the measures as potentially discriminatory. Proponents of the laws argued that they were needed to protect religious freedom, while critics complained that the laws would allow discrimination against gays and lesbians who could be deprived of goods and services in the name of religious belief. Although neither of the original laws mentioned gays or lesbians, many of their conservative backers have opposed same-sex marriage/ Los Angeles Times . More here.

Question: Will this quell the uproar?
