Arizona Governor Jan Brewer avoided federal litigation and vetoed a bill that would have made it legal for businesses to refuse to serve gay people. A good decision on her part, this is in violation of federal civil rights laws. The lunch counter discussion was resolved already, and Jim Crow Laws have been outlawed for quite some time! Legislators attempted to go backwards and derail freedom once again. The legislators who support this level of hatred toward Americans should pledge their citizenship and allegiance to Russia or Uganda, their agendas would be welcomed by their governments. They should also be tried in federal court for proposing and passing such a law in the first place- banned from office and punished. I doubt there will be consequences, but I fail to see why not. This was not a bill for protecting religious freedom, as supporters claimed. It was to legalize discrimination, and chip away at our Constitution and Civil Rights laws. A law of this nature promotes hatred, and encourages violence. It was to legally say on paper that gay people are inferior to their heterosexual counterparts, and to start stripping away at their American and human rights.
