Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer will veto a controversial bill that would allow business owners to refuse service to gays and lesbians on the grounds of their religious conviction, NBC News is reporting via Twitter.
Brewer has been under intense pressure from business groups and political leaders to diffuse the situation and veto the legislation which they fear will draw unnecessary attention to Arizona a year before it hosts the next Super Bowl and following economic losses on controversial immigration stances.

Here’s a gay bar owner who refuses service to people who don’t think like he does:
There was a scene in the Charton Heston movie Moses that always out to me.
It was when the Jews were worshiping the golden calf and Arron was standing there half halfheartedly lifting up some type of incense to be part of the crowd. He always stuck out to me as such a coward. McCain, Romney, and so many other rinos are doing the same thing.
Gutlessness hag. To hell with her and the GOPe flip flops in the senate
You are right.
This was a can of problems that had the right desires, but would have been completely unworkable.
THIS is exactly to type of crap that makes us despise and mistrust the GOPe but they can’t figure that out. Here it is morons; this is why we hate you.
And he should have that right!!! Freedom of association!
If the legislation is signed into law, then pro-left activist judges will overturn it, anyways.
Goldwater was libertarian. Certainly not a social conservative. If a purity test were to be applied for social conservativism (including views on homosexuality), Goldwater would have failed it.
I agree. But the baker who refused to make wedding cakes for gay marriages was NOT given that right...
Religious freedom? Wasn’t there a case in AZ a few years ago where a religious group was forbidden from convening inside of a member’s home due to a public gathering ordinance?
I think you’re right, just because everyone seems to be doing the wrong thing anymore, but I wonder, if she’s not running for re-election, what would it cost her to just do the right thing and sign this?
Yes. It also warns that hardened rebellion goes hand-in-hand with this sin.
52 electoral votes; he barely won in AZ and was crushed in TX.
She was never a reliable conservative. I saw her on TV several years ago hem-hawing and making no sense of an issue I have forgotten.
The media is working hard to make veto a done deal. The right to refuse service to someone is as “anti-gay” as the Affordable Care Act is affordable. Deceptive labels is liberalism 101.
It shouldn’t cost her anything to merely reaffirm what Arizona’s State Legislature consisting of nearly 100 people have already passed.
““doesn’t want to take any actions that could jeopardize the economic momentum”
As the old saying goes, “you’re only a whore once.”
Once any part of you can be bought for money, you are one.”
I just now had time to poke around the web and saw the NFL’s threat on this issue. HEY YOU FOOLS RUNNING SOMETHING THAT USED TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE SPORTS - The above sentiments apply to you as well!
Guess I’ll have lots more Sunday time on my hands.
I guess it should be vetoed with that name. What about the religious freedom bill? Certainly she will sign that? /sarcasm
Yes, this isn’t her first screw up along these lines.
