With little support from those outside the Statehouse, and what seems to be weak support inside the building, a bill that aims to balance LGBT rights and religious freedom faces an uncertain fate.

A Senate committee Wednesday approved a bill that aims to balance protections for gay, lesbian and bisexual Hoosiers and people faith. But, those testifying in complete support of the measure were few and far between.

Pence has previously hinted Hoosiers would know his stance on LGBT civil rights protections early this year.

It's been a decade since Indianapolis put protections for gays and lesbians in its Human Rights Ordinance and city leaders are marking the anniversary as a way to put pressure on state politicians to extend the protections state-wide.

The reviews are pouring in after Senate Republicans this week unveiled their proposed LGBT civil rights legislation. And advocates on both sides of the debate are finding plenty to critique.

Senate Republicans Tuesday unveiled the details of legislation they say strikes a balance between protecting the LGBT community from discrimination and ensuring Hoosiers' religious freedom.

Indiana Competes joins the fight for LGBT rights already being waged by Freedom Indiana, a broad group of government and community leaders, businesses and individuals, and Tech for Equality, a group of tech companies led by former Angie's List CEO Bill Oesterle.

Gov. Mike Pence says he's considering if the concerns of religious conservatives can be reconciled with those of gay rights supporters who want LGBT protections in law.

The Senate Democrats' proposal essentially adds four words to the list of people protected by the state civil rights law: "sexual orientation and gender identity."

Carmel officials have delayed action for at least two weeks on a proposal that would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
