The reason I was opposed to it, after reading it multiple times, was that
1) The wording was vague and allowed lots of room for interpretation
2) It puts pressure on small business owners to go against their wants, needs, and beliefs in order to avoid becoming a criminal because of the word of someone else.
3) Enforcing it, in any practical manner, would be a nightmare and give whoever was appointed to do so an alarming amount of power.
4) It deals with a very grey area of law, and society. There is no room for poorly written legislation when you are already dealing with something so subjective.
5) As a LIBERTARIAN, I do not believe the answer to all of societies problems begin and end with legislation, at either the Federal or state and local levels.

There is no way I would align myself with the bible thumping douche bags that ran the repeal campaign. The president of their group Duncan Campbell is a faith healer magic man.
I really had no dog in the fight and probably wouldn't have voted until I started reading the bullshite these guys were spewing. Reading some of the statements from the state senators in the surrounding areas was dumbfounding.
Bart Hester former Hog threatening the UA's budget because the chancellor criticized the Chamber of Commerce gives some insight into their brand of politics.
