Arizona governor says state should consider banning anti-gay discrimination

After vetoing a bill that would have allowed for religious anarchy (but mainly Christian Sharia) in which bigots who want to discriminate against gays were going to be protected, Governor Skeletor of Arizona came to her senses once again:
“I do not believe in discrimination,” the governor told Capitol Media Services Tuesday. “We are in the United States of America and we have great privilege that is afforded to everyone.” 
But the governor conceded that, while existing state laws bar discrimination based on race, religion or gender, those do not extend to sexual orientation. Brewer said it may be worth exploring whether the time has come to change that.
Its simple, if you do not believe in discrimination and you do not want it practiced in your state in which would cause more national embarrassment as not only a racist state, but anti-gay bigot state, then by all means woman, fucking ban it then.

Just as she stood up to the tea crazies on Medicaid expansion (which greatly helped the state)and on the religious anarchy bill, she too can stand up to them on this issue. But my experience as a resident of this horrid state is that people actually are totally oblivious, in fact many who oppose anti-discrimination laws cite the fact that gay discrimination doesn't really exist. If that were the case, then lets repeal the anti-discrimination laws on race being that racial discrimination is far less frequent than anti-gay discrimination. But lets see them try and do that.

I'm not leaving Arizona just yet for familial reason, but for me there are bigger issues than the fact that the state lacks an anti-discrimination law that are pushing me out.
