Georgia Governor to Veto Anti-LGBT “Religious Liberty” Bill

HeadlineMar 29, 2016

Meanwhile, Georgia Republican Governor Nathan Deal announced he would veto a so-called religious liberty bill critics say would allow discrimination against LGBT people. The measure would have let faith-based organizations in Georgia deny services and jobs to LGBT people. Deal had faced pressure to veto the bill from about 500 businesses and the National Football League, which implied Georgia might lose its bid to host the Super Bowl if the measure was enacted. We’ll have more on the anti-LGBT measures in North Carolina and Georgia later in the show.
