Arizona Lawmakers Pass Controversial Anti-Gay Bill

(CNN) -- Arizona's Legislature has passed a controversial bill that would
allow business owners, as long as they assert their religious beliefs, to
deny service to gay and lesbian customers.
.
The bill, which the state House of Representatives passed by a 33-27 vote
Thursday, now goes to Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican and onetime small
business owner who vetoed similar legislation last year but has expressed
the right of business owners to deny service.
.
"I think anybody that owns a business can choose who they work with or who
they don't work with," Brewer told CNN in Washington on Friday. "But I
don't know that it needs to be statutory. In my life and in my businesses,
if I don't want to do business or if I don't want to deal with a
particular company or person or whatever, I'm not interested. That's
America. That's freedom."
.
As expected, the measure has drawn criticism from Democrats and business
groups who said it would sanction discrimination and open the state to the
risk of damaging litigation.
.
On Friday, the LGBT group Wingspan staged a protest march to the
governor's office that drew about 200 people. Some carried signs with
messages "God created us all equal" and "Shame on Arizona."
.
Tucson-based Rocco's Little Chicago Pizzeria posted a photo on its
Facebook page of a sign with a message for state lawmakers: "We reserve
the right to refuse service to Arizona legislators."
.
"It's a ridiculous bill," pizzeria manager Evan Stevens told CNN on
Friday. "Arizona has much bigger problems than allowing businesses to
discriminate against people."
.
In a statement, Anna Tovar, the state senate Democratic minority leader,
said: "With the express consent of Republicans in this Legislature, many
Arizonans will find themselves members of a separate and unequal class
under this law because of their sexual orientation. This bill may also
open the door to discriminate based on race, familial status, religion,
sex, national origin, age or disability."
.
The Greater Phoenix Economic Council, in a letter to Brewer on Friday,
urged the governor to veto Senate Bill 1062, saying the "legislation will
likely have profound, negative effects on our business community for years
to come."
.
"The legislation places businesses currently in Arizona, as well as those
looking to locate here, in potentially damaging risk of litigation, and
costly, needless legal disputes," council President Barry Broome wrote,
adding that four unidentified companies have vowed to locate elsewhere if
the legislation is signed.
