LGBT News NFL warns state of Georgia over "religious freedom" bill

ATLANTA - Mindful of Atlanta's bid to host the Super Bowl, Falcons owner Arthur Blank said Friday he opposes a so-called "religious freedom" bill approved by the Georgia Legislature that protects opponents of same-sex marriage amid concerns it could lead to discrimination against gay, lesbian and transgender people.

Indiana famously passed a similar bill last year, only to roll back some of the harsher provisions after a sustained public outcry.

The NFL acknowledged that the religious exemptions bill, passed by both houses of the Legislature but still needing the signature of Gov. Nathan Deal, could have an impact on the selection process for the championship game in 2019 and 2020.

I'm glad that we live in a world in which businesses (the NFL is a business and shouldn't be tax-exempt) are pressuring governments to protect LGB rights (I exclude the T because I haven't seen many businesses stand up for trans rights).
