Brewer Vetoes Homophobic Bill

Arizona Republican Governor Jan Brewer, facing an upwelling of opposition to a state bill that would allow businesses to discriminate against gays and lesbians, today vetoed the proposed legislation.  Both of Arizona's Senators, Jeff Flake and John McCain, along with 2012 Republican Presidential nominee Willard Romney and business leaders in Arizona and across the nation have voiced opposition to Arizona Senate bill 1062, which was backed by local religious right wingers and by such American Taliban groups as Focus on the Family.

We've had our problems with Gov. Brewer in the past -- and certainly will in the future, given her right-wing policy positions -- but on this issue, she did the right thing.
