Arizona's Legislature has passed a controversial bill that would allow business owners, as long as they assert their religious beliefs, to deny service to gay and lesbian customers.

I do not see how this is any different then back in the day when Whites went in the front and blacks had to go around back.

We are all humans and we all should deserve to be treated with decency. I could careless how you live your life, who you love or who you marry, just be true to you and be true to your calling.

Arizona has always been one of those states you really do not want to live in and this is letting us all know with each passing day that it is true... DO NOT MOVE TO ARIZONA.

"It's a very bad day for Arizona," Rep. Chad Campbell, a Phoenix Democrat who voted against the legislation, told CNN Friday.

He added, "Let there be no doubt about what this bill does. It's going to allow people to discriminate against the gay community in Arizona. It goes after unprotected classes of people and we all know that the biggest unprotected class of people in the state is the LBGT community. If we were having this conversation in regard to African-Americans or women, there would be outrage across the country right now."
