Gov. Doug Ducey won’t support extending state laws to prohibit discrimination against individuals based on their sexual orientation.
“I’m against discrimination in all its forms,” the governor said Thursday.
But Ducey said he does not think it’s necessary to provide people who are gay the same legal protections that exist for already established protected classes.
The governor also said he believes the Arizona Supreme Court struck the right balance earlier this week when the justices decided that the Christian owners of a calligraphy firm have the right to refuse to prepare wedding invitations for same-sex couples.
