In many countries gays fight religious zealots for the right to live.

Here they fight for cake and ultimately have their rights affirmed and protected by a Republican Governor.

The U.S.A. needs to take a bow, again!

Q: Who drafted/sponsored the bill?

A: SB 1062's prime sponsor is Republican state Sen. Steve Yarbrough. Republican Sens. Bob Worsley and Nancy Barto are co-sponsors.

It passed the Senate on a party-line vote, 17-13, with Republicans in support. Since then, three GOP senators, including Worsley, have said they regret their votes and have asked Brewer to veto the bill.

The bill passed the House, 33-27, with mostly GOP support. Three Republicans joined with all 24 Democrats to vote against it.

Yeah,. it may be introduced, but in most states Dave won't get to the Governor...that's the difference here. Lots of racist or just plain idiotic bills get floated or introduced, but they don't get to within a signature of becoming Law.

Don't you wonder if the Super Bowl coming and veiled threats to move it was the real reason she vetoed it?

You're correct...I was going to add at the end of my post..well..thank goodness the NFL put the SB there..

She is a Pro-Business Governor who based her decision on what's best for business..I don't think equal rights for gays were part of how she processed this. I may be wrong, but doubt it...

it's too bad that arizona has to wait to make changes, admit errors, until it gets a bunch of negative attention from the rest of the country.
it took threats of boycotts, loss of superbowls, etc, to pass the MLK holiday.
embarrassing really for the state.
i'd imagine if she'd not been out of state for those days while attention built that she would have signed it into law. timing is everything.
