The state House passed the revised legislation 76-17 about a half hour before Gov. Asa Hutchinson signed it; it is effective immediately. [So, the people who were elected to act on behalf of the rest of the state chose to protect religious freedom]
The original bill would have prohibited state and local government from infringing upon someone's religious beliefs without a compelling reason. Hutchinson asked lawmakers to recall the bill, amend it or pass a follow-up measure that would make the proposal more closely mirror a federal religious-freedom law that now does not apply to individual states.
Hutchinson faced pressure from the state's largest employers, including retail giant Walmart.
"This is a bill that in ordinary times would not be controversial," the governor said. "But these are not ordinary times." [Meaning that less that 1/10 of 1% of the country is telling everyone else how to live and do business!]
Senator Cotton thinks gay community needs to get “perspective” cuz “In Iran they hang you for the crime of being gay.” — Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) April 2, 2015
That would be right, like this 2011 Guardian article. This site lists those nations where LGBT is illegal, and in some cases, the death penalty is used.
See, the reason for the Religious Freedom is because radical gays want to rage a philosophical/ religious/political war, specifically against Christians. We've all heard about "The Gay Wedding Cake," and because the person refused, it became a national circus, nevermind the "we can refuse business for any reason we choose." However, as this video shows, Muslim Bakeries rejected making gay wedding cakes, but no media craze.
This is just another showing of the war by many Dems and radical lefts. They go to war against Christians, but when other religions do similar, or worse, silence. In Iran, several hundreds (some have said thousands), are (sometimes publicly) executed for the crime of being gay, or as their media may say, being "infidels" or "immoral." To my knowledge, no level of US government, from the federal to the local, openly advocates the mass execution of these people. So hypocritical that those people are champions for both groups, and one routinely murders the other...as well as what seems to be any group that isn't them.
