Phillips Grocery, Oxford MS

REVIEW

St. Elmo Steak House FB Post Against Indiana Freedom to Discriminate Bill

March 27, 2015 / / 0 Comments

The word Freedom should only be used when it’s inclusive and fair for all.

The post from the Indianapolis restaurant is in response to the governor of Indiana, Mike Pence, signing a bill that gives people the ability to claim a religious exemption to anti-discrimination laws.
