LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- The Arkansas House of Representatives passed a "religious freedom" bill similar to the controversial measure in Indiana. The bill now heads to Gov. Asa Hutchinson's desk for signing into law.
Hutchinson said that he would approve the measure if it made it to his office, CBS News affiliate KTVH in Little Rock reported. The Arkansas version of the bill -- HB 1228 -- would prevent state and local governments from infringement on someone's religious beliefs unless there were a "compelling" reason.
Like the Indiana law, opponents say it would foster discrimination against the gay and lesbian community.
Local leaders and businesses including Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola, the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce, and Acxiom Corporation have released statements urging Gov. Hutchinson to veto the bill.

Good for Arkansas. Cotton and this are two things they’ve gotten right.

Like all the modern “movements” once they cleared out the constipation the only thing that came out afterwards was an endless stream of diarrhea...

It is far less graphic than one of the modern day gay parade...

It was one tiny scene in a strangely haunting film.
Mostly about going to the afterlife.
