Indiana governor wants changes to religious-objections law

INDIANAPOLIS - He's still defending the state's new religious-freedom law, but Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is calling on state lawmakers to send him a measure by the end of the week making it clear that the law doesn't allow discrimination against gays.

Although the legal language does not specifically mention gays and lesbians, critics say the law is designed to protect businesses and individuals who do not want to serve gays and lesbians, such as florists or caterers who might be hired for same-sex wedding ceremonies.

Pence says the law has been "grossly mischaracterized" and has put Indiana under a harsh glare.
