Arizona Gays
What is the general consensus of the people of Arizona towards the gay community?
Arizona Republicans who know Gov. Jan Brewer well say she is likely to veto legislation that critics say promotes discrimination against gays and lesbians.
In an exclusive interview with CNN on Monday in Washington, Brewer said, "I can assure you, as always, I will do the right thing for the state of Arizona."
The Republicans who know her well say they are confident those comments mean Brewer will almost surely reject the bill that is generating nationwide controversy. Ref. CNN
Senate Bill 1062 called for businesses to be able to use religious beliefs as a basis for refusing service to gays and others. It focused national attention on Arizona as business groups, gay rights supporters and even many fellow Republicans - including Mitt Romney and John McCain - urged Brewer to veto it. The NFL, which is scheduled to host Super Bowl XLIX next February in Glendale, was among organizations closely watching the legislation. Ref. CNN
