, Young expressed why he backed the bill and how if he had any doubts that it could lessen religious freedoms for Hoosiers that he would have voted no. Essentially, he said the bill would not force churches or others to provide services for same-sex marriages.
"These religious liberty protections are born of the First Amendment, and legal experts from across the faith spectrum have stated that activist judges will not be able to undo them," Young wrote. Same-sex couples want to enjoy the same protections as married heterosexual couples, Young wrote, also noting he believes that this bill will bring both groups closer in dignity and respect.

In fact, he walked back comments he made earlier this year that interracial marriage should be left to states to decide, saying he misunderstood a line of questioning in a news conference.
