Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal said Monday he would veto a controversial bill allowing faith-based organizations to deny services to gay people.
The Republican governor, who until 1995 was a Democrat, said HB 757 or the so-called "religious freedom" bill, opposed by gay rights advocates and businesses, "doesn't reflect the character of our state or the character of its people."
"Their efforts to purge this bill of any possibility that it would allow or encourage discrimination illustrates how difficult it is to legislate something that is best left to the broad protections of the First Amendment."
