This is a good thing, but I'm still opposed to gay marriage.

Business wins over religion - Business always wins
[ In Reply To ..]The odd part is that the Religious Right and Big Business are almost always on the same page. I guess money and religion diverged on this one.
no, discrimination lost - it's that simple

If you read/heard Brewer's comments you would know - Business always wins. nm

do you think religion enabling people to discriminate is a win? - (I have heard Brewer's comments)
[ In Reply To ..]
The only reason Brewer vetoed it - Big business pressure
[ In Reply To ..]She would have signed it if Big Business had not made the show against it. I am, of course, against discrimination, but not because ATT, NFL, and the GOP tell me so. I am against it because it is wrong.
It's Big Business doing what they intend to - sm
[ In Reply To ..]do: make money.
As far as "business wins over religion," you can't force YOUR religion on an entire group of people. There's the right of freedom of religion in this country, and religion should have NO part in politics.
silly - effie
[ In Reply To ..]This whole bill was silly. Do you think Jesus would have refused to "serve" gays? Using religion to target others who are different is evil. And I am for gay marriage, heterosexuals have ruined the institution, maybe gays can save it.
that bill - dnh
[ In Reply To ..]That whole thing was media spin. the bill was much different than what the public heard and it was not actually based on an anti-gay issue. The media dubbed it antigay and didn't bother to report anything about its actual foundation. Read it and see.
I did read it; it was a very foolish bill. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]The media did a good job reporting on the actual foundation of the bill. The only spin involved the bobbing heads of the Arizona legislators who penned this disingenuous garbage.
Thank goodness common sense and sanity prevailed. - victory (nm)

Anti-Gay Republican Outed As GayApr 29, 2015
A North Dakota lawmaker who has made a name for himself as an anti-gay crusader has been outed by the guy he tried to pick up on the gay dating app Grindr. Rep. Randy Boehning says his secret habit of sending explicit photos of himself to men on Grindr under the username "Top Man!" (not quite "Carlos Danger" but close) would have stayed a secret if pro-gay lawmakers didn't hate him for his votes against gay rights. He suggested instead that this was "payback" by gay people just because o ...
