Arizona Governor Returns Home Amid Furor Over Bill

BOB CHRISTIE – FEBRUARY 26, 2014, 7:10 AM EST

PHOENIX (AP) — Gov. Jan Brewer returned to Arizona on Tuesday and faced a pressing decision about a bill on her desk that has prompted a national debate over religious and gay rights.

The Republican governor has been in Washington the last five days for a governors conference, and she is returning to a political climate that is much different from just a week ago.

The Arizona Legislature passed a bill last week allowing businesses whose owners cite sincerely held religious beliefs to deny service to gays. It allows any business, church or person to cite the law as a defense in any action brought by the government or individual claiming discrimination.

The legislation has caused a national uproar. The chorus of opposition has grown each day, with the business community, the state's Super Bowl Committee and both Republican U.S. senators calling for a veto. Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney was the latest prominent voice to weigh in and urge Brewer to veto the bill.

1. This type of religious liberty has no place in America. They need to uproot their

businesses and take them to those countries that would welcome the American Taliban!

If this bill is approved, they should be required to post signs in the window fronts of brick and mortar stores and on all correspondence, for example, web sites. Many would prefer not to deal with bigots and homophobes, so they should be required to make it public. Then, the majority, can choose to not patronize their business.
