Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill Wednesday that would have allowed businesses that asserted their religious beliefs the right to deny service to gay and lesbian customers.
Opinions have been sharply divided over the politically charged measure, with both sides ramping up pressure on Brewer after the state's Republican-led Legislature approved the bill last week.
Brewer said she made the decision she knew was right for Arizona.

When that happens the immense good that churches do in terms of charity will become impossible.
Thank the gay mafia.
“Thank the gay mafia.”
2% of the population running rough shod over the other 98%. Yea, that’s the ticket!
WHEN will the majority assert itself?
In another lifetime.
>> She’s right for the wrong reasons.
She is wrong for the wrong reasons.
>> She had no choice.
She had a choice. She chose to please men rather than God.
>> Had the bill passed it would have had terrible repercussions for Arizona.
The Gay Mafia and their agenda will have unimaginably horrible repercussions for all of America, should no one stop them and they continue to spread their evil unchecked. Ref: Sodom. Brewer had a chance to stand heroically “...against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” Sadly, she had not the courage to do so.
>> She, and all of Arizona were on the side of God...
“If GOD be for us, who can be against us?” I’m sorry she has no faith in GOD.
“WHEN will the majority assert itself?”
It is trying. We are being ignored, especially by those who are not supposed to be ignoring us.
> 2% of the population running rough shod over the other 98%. Yea, that’s the ticket!
They hope to raise those numbers dramatically promoting the LGBT lifestlye in our schools, the Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts....
Discrimination is discrimination. How do you know if a customer is “gay” or not? Most don’t wear signs proclaiming it. Only the politicized ones on the Left do.
I’m Jewish. There used to be signs that said “No Jews, Niggers or Dogs allowed”. You’ll find signs like that today in much of the Middle East.
But how does someone know that I’m Jewish. I don’t look Jewish and don’t wear any religious garments. I’ve passed for Italian on more than one ocassion. Even the KKK and Nazis didn’t know I was Jewish when I attended one of their rallies just outside of DC. (That was a learning experience, believe me).
You should ban a person from your premises based on their visible bad behavior, not who they are internally.
I think that moderate gays (who are afraid to speak up due to threats from their Leftist thugs), need to step up and say that they just want to be treated publicly like anyone else, but also demand that their militant brethren stop their own hate campaigns against straights and people with certain religious beliefs.
Doing the right thing is often hard, but it still is the right thing. It goes both ways.
Should an African-America baker have to bake a cake for a Klu Klux Klan celebration?
Should a Jewish baker have to bake a cake for a Neo-Nazi celebration?
Should a Gay baker have to bake a cake for a Christian celebration?
Should a Christian baker have to bake a cake for a Gay wedding?
it doesn't with me...the values of the weak (homosexuality, promiscuity,abortion,drugs,alcohol.sloth and laziness,etc) prevail because the strong have taken the over as devices of leadership"
that explains it all...
No one, and I mean no one can say anything against anal sex. It's the new civil right!
I assume the scarlet letter will be "C" for Christian with underground churches that preach and teach from the bible meeting secretly.
Gov. Jan Brewer would have been dog piled like they did to Sarah Palin. That is because she has no idea how to fight back. This homo confederacy is using the Alinsky tactics on steroids. Anyone who stands in opposition to them is picked out, frozen and polarized. They play this play book over and over like anything one would do because it is successful. This tactic nullifies their target’s ability to reason their case because it is on the level of throwing dirt balls. If you try to reason with the public, you have lost.
However, if you turn he tables on them, and pick one of their own for attack, you would have them in a frenzy. This is where a similar attack is the best defense. This is the level you have to fight. You have to throw dirt balls at them without stop.
Maybe we should all move to Israel. After all, that’s where its all going to go down anyway. And, the time is approaching rapidly, IMO, based on recent events.
Pyrrhic victory or another regular, old loss.
Either way our freedoms, in this case religious, are, again, diminished.
good points
Freedom of association is guaranteed in the First Amendment of the Constitution. I don’t know about Arizona, but most businesses I know of have a sign in the window that says, “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.”
This bill spelled out what is already in the First Amendment. It is sad that we should need bills to guarantee our Constitutional rights. It is even sadder that such a bill should be vetoed.
Nonsense. Churches can continue to do their good works with out asking for the government’s permission. There is more difficulty without the tax exemption but it is not an impossibility. Just requires the congregation to be aware and active.
So some of the ‘properties’ go away. The good works do not have to stop. There are those who would suggest that it is a good thing that churches do not seek tax exempt status. Then they are not beholden to the government
She's already been dog piled.
Do you think they'll like her now?
I wish that conservatives would finally figure out: They're going to trash you regardless of what you do. You may as well do the right thing.
