Less than 24 hours after Arizonas governor vetoed a bill that had been criticized as anti-gay, similar legislation in Georgia and Mississippi are hitting new roadblocks.
Georgia state senator Josh McKoon conceded on Thursday that support for his religious-freedom bill is evaporating, 11Alive Atlanta reports. He told the Huffington Post that a committee vote on his legislation, previously scheduled for next Monday, has been taken off the calendar. McKoon said his bill merely protects religious rights of Georgia residents, but critics argued it would allow business owners to refuse services to gays based on religious beliefs.
In Mississippi, the state House of Representatives Civil Subcommittee stripped key provisions on Wednesday that had been attacked by the ACLU as discriminatory. The organization said the legislation would allow for even broader discrimination than the SB 1062 bill that was vetoed in Arizona, according to the Mississippi Business Journal.

Maybe we should start labeling HusseinCare and other Alinsky agenda items an anti-gay bill. They’ll get repealed instantly, with no fact-checking or bill-reading required.
I figured his/her time here was short! Buh bye *warchild9*... enjoy your zot...given by the boss, himself.
The first chapter of Romans says it all.
Wow
Why just Catholics hon?
Plenty denominations more social right than catholics and more in the gay mafia crosshairs
Good riddance JR
THAT some beech has always been a social lib...and sorta usurped my nick
Made my Friday nite...
Called me old too...
Warchild had it coming if I had a dollar for every time he or she called me old or racist I would donate it to Free Republic
posters like that come here to amuse themselves primarily
And no relation btw
Great Summary. I repeat a version ad nauseum young knuckleheads...will work this in...
Yeah, he says I’m on the “losing” side. But I’m praying I’m on the “right” side, as in supporting the will of God. And that’s the entire point of FR. Those who are unwilling to fight for God, family, country (win or lose) can take their patronage elsewhere.
You can never lose fighting the good fight. It’s not over.
I think that falls squarely within the founding principle of Pursuit of Happiness.
Anything to the contrary is a direct violation of the first amendment.
If it's any consolation, wardaddy, I think you're young! You've got to collect a lot more mileage on the treads before you catch up to me -- a real old fuddy-duddy who remembers when Hundred Oaks (is it even still around?) was the shiny new mall in town.
You’ve been a nasty little stinkbug from the first.
Jim made my day with that zot. Warchild earned every bit of it. It’s also great to see that the anti-God, gay agenda will not accepted on this site.
Thanks Jim.
To be honest...aside from aches...and creaks
Being old is not too bad as long as you can still function
My game shoulder that I wrenched when my longbow split at Crecy is acting up again!
Never have gotten over missing that French dude with the pink feather bunch on his helm. Perhaps that was warchild9.
more and more insanity
“bills seen as anti-gay” when there was nothing in the bill that mentioned anything gay
Mark of the Beast will be rainbow colored?
I have longed for this day for at least 5-6 years, perhaps longer.
I must now gloat:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Donation incoming =)
