This R&D provides resources on Arizona’s gay rights battle concerning a proposed state law that would allow businesses to deny services to homosexuals on religious grounds. Proponents of the legislation (S.B. 1062) argued that it was necessary to protect First Amendment rights, while opponents said it was unconstitutional and discriminatory. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer vetoed the bill yesterday after it cleared the Arizona state legislature.
