Arizona Republican Anti-Gay Bill Attempts to Legalize Discrimination
Imagine going to a restaurant, barber or hair salon, grocery store, auto repair or any other type of business you can think of and being told, “sorry we don’t serve gays, it’s against our religious beliefs”, just because the owner or sales person thinks you look gay.
If Arizona Republicans had gotten their way, that’s how things would have been in the State of Arizona. Their law would also required you to pay the legal expenses of the business, if you wanted to sue the business for falsely discriminating against you to prove you weren’t gay.
This is how the holocaust in Nazi Germany started. It started with discrimination against the Jews.
Most Republicans are OK, fine with NSA spying on private citizens. Republicans are passing laws in every state they control legislating what women can and cannot do with their own bodies.
The type of repression Republicans are engaging in is typical of Fascism.
