REPORT: Arizona Governor Will Veto Controversial Anti-Gay Bill

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) will likely veto a controversial bill that would allow businesses to refuse services to gay and lesbian customers, NBC News is reporting.

According to NBC, Brewer wants to diffuse the story and does not "want to take any actions that could jeopardize the economic momentum" in Arizona.

In recent days, numerous powerful voices had come out in opposition to the bill, including both of Arizona's Republican senators, John McCain and Jeff Flake.

Businesses like Marriott and Apple have also urged Brewer to veto the bill, citing worries about the potential ramifications on their businesses.
