I wish TN's governor would do the same.. but instead we are going to check kids genitalia before entering the bathroom.

Woohoo!!

Excellent!! Obviously I am happy this bill has been vetoed, but I am doubly glad because Georgia has become a destination for filming, which I think is an excellent thing for the state and its economy but also for the south, in general. It's great to have something like that in this region that needs new industry and opportunity. And I think the pressure from that industry helped.

I love the south, and this is definitely progress. It helps to have that outside pressure.

This is really good. I'm still so, so disappointed by NC.

[sfy]

Thank goodness for--if not decency--just common sense!

A federal lawsuit was just filed over it.

I had a feeling he would. The business interests against it were just too strong.

It's too bad that it takes money to get them to act ethically, but at least the outcome was good.

Hallelujah!!!!!!!!! I was terrified. But now my co-workers are saying he will probably pass the bill for open carry on college campuses to offset this

That is my fear too, but I am glad about the veto.

Thank goodness!

It's a good day when I am not mortified by what Georgia passes (or vetoes). I assume my feelings will change if he passes the open carry bill but for today I will rejoice that we aren't always the most backwards, horrifying state of the moment.

If only NC had been this smart.

Hot damn! iammalcolmx and I won't have to secede from GA.

Good! Not only were they being bigots were fucking with my monies! Speacial thanks to all of the CEOs of companies headquartered here. Honorable mention to Kasim Reed cause I am sure he was losing his mind.
