States that wish to implement "Religious Freedom Laws" need to evaluate what it could cost them as far as private entities holding events or doing business within such states.
Love the name it sounds so fair but in reality it allows businesses to discriminate against gays. Why was this bill needed in any event, is there any problems with businesses that drove this bill. These right wing nuts never learn their lesson.
I haven't seen anything in the papers, is there an outbreak bakers being forced to support alternate lfestyles in GA.?

outstanding! discrimination and intimidation laws have no place in a civilized society.
CEO of Salesforce is also threatening to cancel a 15K attendee convention in Atlanta
Religious people across the country being attacked for being religious is what is driving this. SC gave its wrongful approval of something and NO ONE is putting borders to it and the left is attacking ANYONE who happens to be religious and own a business just trying to bait SOMEONE into saying no I won't make your cake for the wedding or no I won't do your floral arrangement or no I won't make your t-shirts. Try doing the same thing if you are a christian and want a pro traditional marriage cake or t shirt and you try and raise a stink its ignored or found to NOT be against the law. This is like the criminal killing someone then blaming the victim for fighting back and they are the ones that caused their own death. I won't get into a debate here about religious people being attacked its simply is what it is and I will not debate facts.
yeah ok, hiding behind your bible isn't going to fly anymore. so get used it.
if you're using the bible to hurt people, you're using it WRONG!
I'm holding out hope that Governor Nathan Deal will veto the measure. He made a great statement that sent it back to the house -- I was hoping that would have been the end of it, but the Pols just kept pushing that button.
If you run a business for the public you have no right to discriminate against that public based on your religious beliefs...it's a slippery slope and the next thing you know it'll be against someone's 'religion' to bake a cake for a black or Hispanic person.

Maybe the NFL can move the Super Bowl out of the U.S., since the feds passed a Religious Freedom Restoration Act years ago. The NFL had this year's scouting combine in Indiana, which has a RFRA law, as do more than 20 other states.
The Georgia governor is 100% certain to sign this bill.
Homosexualists do not have the right to dictate religious
practices or inclusion of their beliefs on other groups.
If the NFL, Apple, Salesforce or any other group boycotts
Georgia due to this bill, they expose themselves to lawsuits
for discrimination.
