It won't happen, this is just fearmongering by people who are hellbent on fighting against an imaginary threat of a Christian Theocracy that much of the left believes is real.

Lots of people want to discriminate against gays—albeit fewer than 20 or 50 years ago—and this law gives them legal cover. If you're a straight person who thinks this doesn't happen because you haven't seen it, that's fine but consider that your experience is not definitive.

I love that the defense of this bill is "no one will actually use it" or "if you read it carefully, it doesn't allow anyone to do anything different," as if it isn't actually a law that was passed to effect policy.
