Georgia Governor to Veto Anti-LGBT "Religious Liberty" Bill
-----------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Georgia Republican Governor Nathan Deal announced he would
veto a so-called religious liberty bill critics say would allow
discrimination against LGBT people. The measure would have let
faith-based organizations in Georgia deny services and jobs to LGBT
people. Deal had faced pressure to veto the bill from about 500
businesses and the National Football League, which implied Georgia might
lose its bid to host the Super Bowl if the measure was enacted. We'll
have more on the anti-LGBT measures in North Carolina and Georgia later
in the show.
