Arizona recently a passed a law, in the works in several other states, that permits businesses to openly discriminate against gays (and others) on the basis of religious conflict.
No more should we see "toilet for whites only," or "gays unwelcome," in our cities and towns. We cannot permit the wholesale loss of human dignity and freedoms for our citizens. With each freedom surrendered, we diminish the greatness of our nation and belittle the notion that all humans are created equal.
Please cut all federal funding to these states at once or bring more severe pressure to bear. Religious freedom is not a tool of oppression. This will only bring hatred, pain and blood as it escalates and emboldens lawmakers to worse actions. This is no longer about state's rights -it's about human rights.
