Middle of Febuary!

  1. The article I chose is about how businesses are lashing out over an Arizona bill that would allow retailers to refuse service to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender customers based on the owners' religious opinions. The bill still needs to be passed by governor Jan Brewer and so far she hasn't even responded to it. If she just ignore the bill it will automatically be passed and made a law. Arizona is being known as the most unwelcoming state in the U.S and is gonna be a place no one will visit. The economy will be affected tremendously as well as small businesses will begin to shut down if they follow this bill or soon to be law.
  2. This law will affect the states small family owned businesses because if u are know for following the law people will not come. On the other hand if u don't follow the law again u will be boycotted by those who do. Also the state as a whole will take a big blow because tourist will not come to visit who have different views. Arizona already was a troubled state because of the immigration law they had on pulling over anyone who was colored. This just adds on to the pile of dislike towards the state. On the other had it can cause problems for the country because purist will thing America is just the same because this is global news. This affects us both state and country wise.
  3. I don't think this can affect me personally because I'm not gay. I think this can affect the gay community all over the world and US. It hurts us as humans because of discrimination and hatred toward people who are different. We are all equal even though we have different preferences that shouldn't even matter. To take it to the extreme like this is crazy. We are going backward instead of moving forward. This affects all the gays and transgender because they will feel unsafe when they go around. I know that this will not go down easily and California will be the first to stand up to say so. If this passes America will be angry and there will be a huge mob of angry people demanding for the law to be revoked. I am one of those people it's like going back to segregation and slavery and I do not believe in that.
