Miley Cyrus is just one of many artists who are not happy with Indiana's recent Religious Freedom Restoration Act, Billboard notes. Activists and celebrities alike have been critical of the new law because it could allow business owners to discriminate against the LGBT community. Governor Mike Pence has since asked lawmakers to correct the law with new legislation.
Cyrus took to Instagram to relay her frustrations with the law. Her post was accompanied by a snippet of a news story about the new law (see below).
In honor of #transdayofvisibility say #f*ckdatshit to Indianas #RFRA It is unevolved & unjust! You may hear that this bill isn't what the big bad liberals are making it out to be! That this isn't a discriminatory act it is just to protect the "consciousness" of Christians! To judge anyone for how they want to express themselves or their love to another human is WRONG no matter how these f*ckers sugar coat it! THE BIBLE SAYS (if that's what we are realllllly basing a 2015 bill on) "the way that you judge others will be the way that you will be judged" Which I hope is just as harshly and unfair as those apart of Indiana's LGBT community! The fight for freedom isn't over! I won't give up!
Wilco canceled its May show in Indiana in protest of the new law. Nick Offerman and wife Megan Mullally followed as well, canceling a tour stop in Indianapolis. According to The New York Times, Arkansas recently passed its own version of the law as well.
We're canceling our 5/7 show in Indianapolis. “Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act” feels like thinly disguised legal discrimination.
