Georgia Governor Under Pressure From Hollywood, Businesses to Veto 'Anti-LGBT' Bill
Monday, March 28th, 2016
Hollywood stars and major U.S. companies have spoken out against a bill in Georgia that they argue discriminates against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
Georgia's House Bill 757, known as the Free Exercise Protection Act but by critics as the "anti-LGBT" bill, includes language that protects clergy from performing marriage rites that violate their religious beliefs, protects faith-based nonprofits hiring employees who support and practice their religion and businesses from opening on their respective Sabbath.
