The proposed law in AZ would not give businesses the ability to refuse business to anyone for any reason. For example...

If a homosexual wanted to buy a cake at a bakery the bakery could not refuse to sell the cake.

What it would do is give the businessman standing to refuse to be a participant in actions that violated his conscience such as a homo wedding which catering such an event would require him to do.

Here in TN, a business owner has a right to refuse to do business with anyone for any reason EXCEPT if you’re one of the federally protected classes. Sexual preference is not one of those classes. That’s not true in every state. Some states have identified homosexuality as a protected class.

Correct. But my point was/is , that right already exists in Arizona. There is no law requiring businesses to take part in anything or service anyone. Businesses already have this standing by way of exclusion in the law.

This comes across as grandstanding and makes the GOP look like hate mongering idiots and they don’t need the help. It’s a colossal waste of time and money to codify something that already exists within the law.
