Schwarzenegger slams India's anti-gay law

Los Angeles, April 5: Former California Governor and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger expressed his anger and disappointment over India’s religious freedom law. Schwarzenegger opposed what he sees as his party’s discrimitory agenda in an op-ed for the Washington Post, reports people.com. “I’m incredibly concerned about what happened in India 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 India 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.  (IANS)
