Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoes controversial
anti-gay bill, SB 1062
2
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill Wednesday
that would have allowed businesses that asserted
their religious beliefs the right to deny service
to gay and lesbian customers. The controversial
measure faced a surge of opposition in recent
days from large corporations and athletic
organizations, including Delta Air Lines, the
Super Bowl committee and Major League Baseball.
Fiercely divided supporters and opponents of the
bill ramped up pressure on Brewer after the
state's Republican-led Legislature approved it
last week. On Wednesday, the governor said she
made the decision she knew was right for Arizona.
"I call them as I see them, despite the cheers or
the boos from the crowd," Brewer said, the bill
could result in unintended and negative
consequences. Brewer said she'd weighed the
arguments on both sides before vetoing the
measure, which is known as SB 1062.
