A Republican state senator who previously proposed granting Indiana civil rights protections to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people has unveiled a new bill that would leave transgender rights out of the equation.

Indiana Competes, a coalition of more than 350 Indiana Businesses that support the addition of equal protections in the civil rights code, released the survey results Tuesday.

With his yearly State of the State address approaching, Gov. Mike Pence says Hoosiers will soon know his position.

House Speaker Brian Bosma says he will do everything in his power to ensure the legislature's upcoming debate over LGBT civil rights is a respectful one. He is also calling for people to remain positive about the state's image.

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.
