Republicans and the American Family Association worked to remove the specific groups from the proposed legislation.

Excellent: Antigay Group Helps Strip LGBTQ, Race From Indiana Hate Crimes Bill 2Q==

Indiana is one of only five states to not have a hate crimes law, and legislators' efforts to remedy that have proved disastrous.
Minority groups that would be covered under a new proposed bill — which would add enhanced penalties for those who attack others because of specific characteristics — were removed Tuesday by a Senate committee. The bill no longer includes "race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability" in its language; it now leaves the decision to add stricter sentences to individual judges, according to The Indianapolis Star.
Republicans and the American Family Association — the latter lobbied against the creation of any hate crimes legislation — cheered the removal, with one GOP legislator saying the new bill "protects everyone." Democrats, meanwhile, were furious and staged a walkout. 
"It might be worse than RFRA," Senator Greg Taylor, a Democrat serving Indianapolis, told the Star. 
Taylor was referencing Indiana's 2015 Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a bill signed by then-Governor Mike Pence that allowed businesses and individuals to discriminate based on their religion, often against LGBTQ people. After enormous backlash and corporate threats, Pence softened the language of the law.
Indiana's full Senate could vote on the denuded hate crimes law this week. If it passes, it will move it to the GOP-controlled House, and finally Republican governor Eric Holcomb (pictured).
The other states without hate crimes laws are Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina, and Wyoming. Georgia previously passed a hate crimes bill in 2000 without mentioned specific categories or groups, but the Supreme Court later invalidated it, calling it "unconstitutionally vague."
