KTVZ

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown denounced Indiana’s “religious objections” law Tuesday, saying it offends her and urging that state’s leaders to reverse its damaging impact.

Here’s her statement, in full:

“Indiana’s new law offends me. No individual, regardless of where they live or whom they love, should suffer discrimination.I urge state leaders in Indiana to take swift action to prohibit discrimination and reverse the damaging impact of this law.

“Oregonians continually demonstrate a strong belief in fairness and equal treatment under the law.As recently as 2013, Oregon votershave defeated proposals similar to Indiana’s law, underscoring our shared values and rejecting discrimination.

” I encourage Oregonians to join me in expressing their concerns about this erosion of individual rights in Indiana and anywhere it may occur.”
