A very interesting bill has just passed the Arizona legislature and moved on to Governor Brewer's desk. This law would allow business owners in Arizona to discriminate against customers they do not want to deal with based on religious convictions.
This bill, if passed into law, would allow wedding photographers to decline to photograph gay weddings on the basis of the photographer's religious opposition to homosexuality. It would presumably allow Christians to decline to do business with Jews, Moslems to decline to do business with infidels, Rastafarians to decline to do business with Pastafarians and Hindus decline to do business with monotheists.
It could be interesting, or even amusing it the governor signs it into law.
EDITOR’S NOTE: This reminds me of when the Irish bartender of a New York bar refused to serve me a beer and ordered me out because he thought (correctly) that I was Jewish. That was not amusing, at least not to me, and not to the bartender either after Chief Gordon House, my Indian companion, beat the supreme shit out of him.
