(
MyFoxBoston.com) -- A controversial new law on the books in Indiana is drawing backlash across state lines.
The law is called the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and opponents says it's aimed at legalizing discrimination against gays and lesbians.
The Indiana law allows businesses to refuse service to gay, lesbian and transgender people on religious grounds, and Connecticut officials are calling it discrimination.
Supporters of the law say the law is meant to protect people's right to exercise their religious freedom, but critics disagree.
The
Indiana Star plans on running a front-page editorial in Tuesday's paper that reads "fix this now."
After all the backlash, Indiana's governor says the law needs "clarification."
Local lawmakers haven't waited for the Governor to act. The Indianapolis City-County Council passed a resolution Monday evening denouncing the new law on a vote of 24-to-four.
Even the governor of Connecticut has taken action, banning state-funded travel to Indiana.
Indiana's new law comes just five months after a federal appeals court made same sex marriage legal there.
The rock band "Wilco" has canceled an upcoming show in Indianapolis to protest the law. The band tweeted about their decision, calling the law thinly disguised discrimination. The band said they'd return to Indiana once the law is repealed.
