Christians own the franchise on the right to discriminate.  By God, they can hate whoever the damn Prince of Peace tells them is inferior.

Republican Governor Nathan Deal apparently didn’t get baptized in deep enough water because he’s vetoing a bill that legalizes discrimination but only if you’re a Christian.

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal on Monday said he will veto legislation shielding opponents of same-sex marriage, after a groundswell of opposition from companies threatening to boycott the state if it became law.

The Republican announced his decision during a news conference in his office at the Georgia Capitol, saying, “I have examined the protections that this bill proposes to provide to the faith based community and I can find no examples of any of those circumstances occurring in our state.”

So, it wasn’t out of the goodness of his heart.  Deal operates like any other Republican – you gotta threaten his pocketbook.

Thanks to John for the heads up.
