How about getting down off that soap box? You do have a right to your opinion, but I doubt many agree with you and it only brings dissension..

Now that certain business moguls have successfully bullied the lady, threatening to cost Arizonans thousands of jobs, perhaps it is time to step back from the bloated hype and take an HONEST look at Arizona Bill # 1062. As m-g Willy said, the media has been offering a cargo of hype, lies, exaggerations and tripe... an many have swallowed it! Here is the essence of bill # 1062:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/02/25/arizona-anti-gay-bill/5823133/ The bill is not "anti" any single group and it was called the defense of religion act for a reason. What it did was protect the entrepreneur from being hit with a frivolous lawsuit if by reason of their convictions, they refused anybody service. Here is a case where perceived encroachments on perversion won over 1st amendment rights! ..But then, what does the constitution mean to liberals?
This bill was distinctly not anti-"gay", since the purple crowd were not covered by the original bill which this bill amended.
True, this bill was hastened when a photographer in nearby New Mexico was sued for refusing to do wedding photos of a ceremony mocking marriage as his God defines it.
Surely, there must have been other photographers who would gladly have served for the aggrieved "couple".... which PROVES they only went to that photographer to cause trouble! Any sensible judge should have seen through that masquerade!
The bill was not aimed at "gays" simply because Arizona bvusinesses already had the right of refusal:

So, the Democrats jumped on the chance to bully this woman as part of their own "war on women"..
