You have to take every big or small victory with a smile. But that doesn't mean that Brewer is an advocate of lgbt rights. I'm sure the only reason she vetoed it was because of the corporations that spoke out against it.

The 'too broadly worded' part of her statement bothered me. On the other hand, the way she addressed the supporters of this horseshit was okay.
