Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal has vetoed religious freedom legislation similar to that adopted by the federal government and nearly half of the states, he announced. He says he would have accepted the legislation if it only protected pastors, but can’t countenance the protection of other religious adherents who are not clergy.
As with other religious freedom bills, Georgia’s had faced strong opposition from the media and corporations. The media, which tend to be ignorant, at best, of religious freedom, mischaracterized the bill as “anti-gay.” Corporations that manufacture or market their products in China, Saudi Arabia, and other locations with deadly human rights violations, claimed that they would boycott Georgia for protecting religious freedom.
News organizations used scare quotes to describe religious freedom, the first freedom mentioned in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Is this party worth anything anymore?
It’s about the bucks. Money trumps God these days. “In Money We Trust”. Bass turd politicians.
I’m guessing that McCrory will probably be backing down shortly as well. This country loves its sodomites too much for it to be repaired.
No. They have spent the dime.
Don't forget the term "Big Anus." Because that's exactly what they are.
Stay tuned for alphabet soup activists demanding Church weddings and Pastors in prison.
Those who control the airwaves (New York/Los Angeles) love their sodomites. The politicians are just afraid of the vicious attacks they would get from the people who control the airwaves.
The source of most of our misery, and most of the problems this nation faces, are the Liberal Democrat Union members from Urban environments who control the transmitters that inform the American people.
We should have been smashing this media monopoly since they abused their power to get Bill Clinton elected in 1992.
First Arizona, then Indiana, then Georgia and North Carolina. Does anyone not get that if you all stand together they won’t have anywhere to film their damn movies by NY and CA, where they CAN’T AFFORD IT???
And it not even a credible threat. These homoMarxists can SAY anything they want. But who's going to excise an entire state's business for some ideology? No sound businessman, that's for sure.
Corporatism in action. Depressing isn’t it.
Gov. Deal should have called them on their bluff. If these corporations threaten to leave, say okay! Now whatever tax breaks and deals you received from the state of Georgia are now GONE!. Regardless of whether you leave the state or not.
This is how you deal with corporate and financial bullies.
Governor Deal said Georgia was a “Welcoming State” that’s LGBT code for ya’ll come on down to Georgia we love you.
Well The Lord is not so welcoming of gays and as a retired Pastor if I lived in your state and was asked to officiate at a same sex marriage I would refuse...so you can arrest me but i can damn well guarantee you I would fight you all the way to SCOTUS to uphold MY CONTITUTIONAL right to not have my religious views infringed by GOP e morons like you.
Of course I say this in my most humble and welcoming way...lol
