has historically shouted us down by saying 'you just want a fabulous pink pony'. 29 States also have no protections for LGBT people in housing and employment, in AZ today you can refuse service, you can fire, evict, refuse a lease to a gay person just like this 'no because you are gay' and this new law is not even needed, they can discriminate right now.
