Arizona bill allows businesses to discriminate against unmarried women, non-Christians

What will it take to wake up the remaining "sane" RETHUGS to what their own want to do?

Experts are warning that a bill making its way through the Arizona legislature would allow businesses to discriminate against LGBT people, unmarried women or even non-Christians.

Republican state Sen. Steve Yarbrough has said that he introduced Senate Bill 1062 because a “modest clarification” was needed in the state’s religious-freedom law, according to The Arizona Republic.

The conservative advocacy group Center for Arizona Policy has been pushing the measure as a way to protect photographers and bakers from having to provide services for same-sex weddings, which are not even legal in Arizona.

And Yarbrough told The Seirra Vista Herald that the bill would allow hotel owners to refuse to rent rooms to LGBT people and would protect businesses that had a religious objection to hiring unmarried women.

“In no way does this bill allow discrimination of any kind,” he said.


Here we go, the GOP MO, just redefine the words and don't see the truth, see only what they want you to see.

Tis a shame he doesn't recall the days when only members of The Church could vote. And membership required public confession in front of the assembled congregation among other things. Talking back to the Clergy was a Capital Offense IIRC, and many more.
