This is going to become problematic for Christian business owners. Just wait and see if gay activists don't seek out Christians for such services, then sue or force the business to close (as in the case with the wedding cake - I believe it was a test case and the business was selected for that). Gays are too much in everybody's faces pushing their agenda. It doesn't help their cause.
There's no evidence she would have signed it anyway. Besides she didn't cave but the GOP members that voted for it did. They either backtracked or didn't forcefully defend their vote when asked caved.
At any rate a business owner in AZ could refuse to bake a wedding cake for gays anyway. Homosexuals aren't a protected class in AZ.
Brewer said there have not even been any cases in AZ where people's right or freedoms were violated. In other words she said there have never been any incidents that have occurred where this law was needed to address.
She intimated that the wording of the law was too broad, and could lead to undesired results and breaches of rights or freedoms.
I believe she is right. I can see where it could be misused by people on both sides of the issue. There are extremists on the right, and not even Christians, who could misuse it. Let's remember than one doesn't have to be a Christian to be a bigot. Those terms actually don't belong together and bigotry is not a characteristic of a true Christian.
Since we're currently in an uproar over this LGBT bill I think it's time to include others as well. Short,fat,ugly,tall,bad teeth,balding people should ALL be in a protected class as well. There's wayyy more discrimination against those groups on a daily basis than there is to the LGBT community.
So, who's for setting up a protest? Call the news people, get good OLD John McCain to decry the actions and let's get all discrimination WIPED from this earth!
That has been my point as well, our laws should protect everyone equally. I should not have my rights violated just because I can't afford to lobby my government to give me special protections. Everyone should have the same protections as a matter of course.

That's what prompted the legislation in the first place.
Let's be real here, Brewer vetoed the bill because it literally would have decimated her state economically. She's still one of the worst governors in the country.
Always looking to make republicans out to be the villain, with sinister, ulterior motives, eh?
