Protests Erupt Against Arizona's Anti-Gay Bill

The bill, pushed forward mainly by conservative Republicans, provides legal protection for private and public businesses that decide not to serve someone, anyone, because of their religious beliefs. Similar bills have previously flopped in Kansas and Idaho, and, only earlier this week, three more states tried - and failed - to push forward legislation that would essentially do the same thing. Arizona, though, had no issues getting the measure through, voting on Thursday to make discrimination permissible "whether or not the exercise is compulsory or central to a larger system of religious belief" - thus, unfortunately, making history.

.

Shortly after the bill passed, the ACLU released the following statement:

.

"Once again Arizona's Legislature is on the wrong side of history. Four years ago, after the passage of SB 1070, we were ridiculed for legalizing discrimination against brown people. The targets today are gay and lesbian Arizonans. They own homes, run businesses and pay taxes just like everyone else but under the guise of religious freedom they are now being vilified by Arizona lawmakers. This bill is not about God or faith. There are already laws on the books in Arizona protecting religious freedom. What today's bill does is allow private individuals and businesses to use religion to discriminate, sending a message that Arizona is intolerant and unwelcoming."

.

Although the bill would most likely disproportionately affect the LGBT community, sexual orientation isn't specified as the only permissible grounds on which to refuse service - which means that the targets of discrimination could actually be far more widespread, potentially encompassing race or even gender.
