Fort Wayne’s convention and visitor’s bureau is making its position known on the controversial “Religious Freedom Restoration Act.”
Visit Fort Wayne says it’s “Open for Business” and will continue to welcome all visitors to the city. The organization says there have been inquiries by many of its convention clients about its response to RFRA.
The law’s opponents say it will allow Hoosier businesses to discriminate against LGBT people, while Governor Mike Pence says it has been mischaracterized.
Visit Fort Wayne says there will be no change in the hospitality or services for the city’s guests, and is unaware of any businesses that intend to change their practices as a result of the law.
Visit Fort Wayne will also help local businesses in getting “Open for Business” stickers for their businesses to express their inclusiveness.
