A human rights activist «got even» with politicians using domain names

Indiana human rights activist Konrad Juengling found a very curious way to express his disagreement with lawmakers. Several days ago Indiana passed a law that gives enterprises and organizations a right not to provide services to customers if they are contrary to the religious beliefs of business owners. The law provoked a storm of criticism from human rights activists. They call it discriminatory especially against gays and lesbians. Now for instance any bar owner in Indiana can legally refuse to let in a same-sex couple by saying that same-sex love is not encouraged by his religion.

In response to this decision Konrad Juengling registered several names in .COM domains that fully coincide with names of conservative politicians who were the most active in advocating the adoption of this law. These domains redirect to webpages that publish news from LGBT community. The activist claimed that he is willing to transfer the domains to the politicians whose names he used for free. But not before they start passing fair laws.
