Posted by mtk52983 on Tue Feb 25 12:02:37 2014, in response to Re: John McCain and Jeff Flake both call for veto of SB1062, posted by Olog-hai on Tue Feb 25 11:53:46 2014. The problem with the law is not that it allows for LGBT citizens to be treated differently from heterosexual citizens, but rather the standard that it permits is too vague and allows for selectively targeting LGBT citizens.There is no way in the law to determine whether there was a religious belief or just a hatred of homosexuals in refusing the service. What if a bakery makes a cake for the remarriage of a woman who is divorced and has an out of wedlock child? Can that bakery simultaneously claim the protection of this law when they refuse to bake a cake for an LGBT wedding? I have no problem with immunizing private entities who the Courts have said are not covered by the 14th Amendment, but my issue with the Arizona legislation is too flexible and appears to only apply to those who refuse service to LGBT citizens. |
