Letter: Many across state proud of governor

From: Kevin Metz

Columbus

Hang tough, Gov. Mike Pence. There are millions of Hoosiers, like me, who are proud to have a governor who stands for what is right.

The religious freedom laws that were passed and Pence signed are what is right. Gays have their rights to be gay, but not at the expense of my right to live my life by my religious beliefs.

I am a bi-vocational pastor, and I imagine it won’t be long until this law is applied to the church. I will not marry gays as a Christian pastor, and I will not stop preaching the word of God from the pulpit, even if it is called hate speech.

The governor should hold the line as long as possible.  I am praying God’s help and protection for him.
