My View by Jim Yacavone
A giant controversy has erupted over The Free Exercise Protection Act (HB 757) recently passed by the Georgia legislature. The LGBT community is urging Governor Deal to veto the act, and a number of large organizations, including the NFL, have threatened consequences for the state if the bill is signed into law. Deal has until May 3 to sign or veto the bill.
There seems to be a lot of misinformation about what the bill says. I was told by one opponent that it would allow a baker to refuse to sell a wedding cake to a gay couple. While there are bills in the legislature that may allow that, HB 757 is not one of them.
