PLEASE SIGN!

Gays and our supporters! Many of you were upset by Russia's treatment of gays. And Uganda's Kill The Gays law. Well, now the tragic bigots of the Arizona legislature have passed a bill which allows open discrimination to gays which is headed to the hateful Governor Jan Brewer's desk. If she doesn't veto it, businesses who frown on gays because of their religious beliefs can refuse to serve gays. I guess they forgot about separation of church and state and I don't want the fairy tales these idiots worship to impact equal treatment of gays. What if you live in a rural area with one pharmacy and the Christian pharmacist doesn't approve of your lifestyle. So they refuse to sell you condoms or AIDS meds? Or hell, a damn hamburger? Surely this will outrage enough of you to sign this. It's a little taste of Putin's Russia right here at home! And if these right-wing @ssholes get away with this, you can better believe it will spread to other states, as these efforts are funded by national GOP think tanks. Is a US Kill The Gay bill coming here? That law was co-created by right-wing groups in the US. You think they don't want that in the US? Maybe they'll start easy--by quarantining gays with HIV. This is frightening! DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

DAILY KOS: Sign our petition to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer—urging her to veto the anti-gay “okay-to-discriminate” bill. Click here to sign.

The Arizona legislature has passed a bill that would allow businesses to discriminate against LGBT customers—or any other customers who they claim it would be against their religion to serve.

Gov. Jan Brewer only has until Tuesday to sign or veto the bill. Click here to urge her to veto.

Brewer has not taken a position yet, despite having vetoed an earlier version last year. But she is under increasing pressure from national right-wing groups, who have been pushing such discriminatory laws in state legislatures across the country.

Arizona already passed an anti-immigrant law. Don’t let them pass an anti-gay law as well.

Sign our petition urging Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer to say “no” to discrimination and veto SB 1062—the “turn the gays away” bill.
