Three Republicans who supported a bill bolstering the rights of business owners to refuse service to gays and others on the basis of religion reversed course Monday and asked the governor to veto the controversial measure.
Republican state Sens. Adam Driggs, Steve Pierce and Bob Worsley wrote a letter to Gov. Jan Brewer pleading for her to reject SB 1062. The measure is intended to support business owners who refuse service to gays and others because they believe serving them violates the practice and observance of their religion. …

Spineless turncoats. They’ll get what’s coming to them.
Of course these coward are State "Senators," were they "State Representatives," they wouldn't dare!
Just like our U.S. Senators, feel removed from their voters when they only have to face those whose votes they count on, every 6 years!
"The hell with the religious beliefs of Christians!!
It's more important to pander for the homo vote."
That’s exactly what this bill is about.
Covardes!!
Temerosos!!
May they reap what they sow.
I feel the same way.
As far as I’m concerned a business should be allowed to refuse service to anyone for any reason. It doesn’t mean that I would refuse service to blacks but if someone did it presents an opportunity for someone else to open a blacks only restaurant and another businessman to open an everyone welcome restaurant.
There are plenty of blacks only businesses in Detroit and it doesn’t bother me a bit.
WWJD? Would he condemn them and refuse them service? Or would he correct them and serve them?
They’re worse than the mob.
Wrong! Both houses in AZ are voted every 2 years.
Why does there need to be a law in the first place? These businesses should be able to decide who they serve or not serve period.

They didn’t refuse to do business; they refused to participate in same sex marriage
Yet AZ has no law against discrimination based of sexual preference on orientation, so this bill above is symbolic anyway.
Which makes me wonder what the point is if it is vetoed.
Another gay victory?
Dumb law for the wrong reason.
What did Jesus do to the people in the temple in Jerusalem on the Sabbath . . . ?
What was the “wrong reason”?
The Gaystapo ought to be free to practice “lawfare” on whomever they please?
Unless these businesses are a church, then they are not selling “religion”. Not serving some of the public for a product which you sell regularly under state licensing is wrong.
So you support the Gaystapo then.
Homosexual activists have been busy since the 1990s from educating our children to despise "intolerance" and are now voting adults, seeming to believe that to adhere to God's laws is somehow "intolerant," plus many religious denominations have now determined homosexuality is not only no longer a sin, but not to embrace them and their activities is "Christian."
Many, if not most of those denominations are simply sliding in to irrelevance and their memberships have disappeared, left only with gray haired women and gays.
Thanks.
AI don’t think that driving the money changers from the Temple quite applies here.
