Like usual, the Lame-stream media is ALL wrong on Arizona SB1062 - THE LEGISLATION AFFECTS NEITHER THE RIGHTS OF GAYS NOR THE RIGHTS OF BUSINESSES TO REFUSE SERVICE TO GAYS.

This is SOLELY about protecting First Amendment rights of freedom of religion.

They should have made the law only apply to “Artists” and the left would have loved it because they are all artsy fartsy types, then classify specialty bakers as “artists”

I think the point of this article is that it doesn't even really affect that, either. In practice, this law will have virtually no effect. Anything a business could do before this law is enacted, it could still do afterwards. And, conversely, anything a business could not do before this law is enacted, it still cannot do afterwards.

"This is SOLELY about protecting First Amendment rights of freedom of religion."

The NFL is threatening to pull the Super Bowl out of Arizona if the AZ Gov. signs SB 1062. The NFL pulled the Super Bowl out of AZ in 1990 when the voters didn't approve of a MLK Holy Day. (AZ got the Super Bowl back after the voters caved in a later 1992 vote, after a racist boycott cost AZ $360 million.)

What I want to see is some of the other more conservative state legislatures create their own versions, that are more to the point.

It’s not “meaningless.” It’s another opportunity to bash the yahoos in Arizona.
