On Wednesday of last week, both the Georgia House and Senate passed HB 757, commonly known as the “religious freedom” bill.  While this bill sounds promising in title (we all want religious freedom), the bill would actually allow legalized discrimination.  Simply put, the content of the bill would allow any company doing business in Georgia that was “faith based” (anyone could add the words “faith based” to their mission statement to qualify) to discriminate and choose not to serve customers if so compelled by their religion. Our company stands for inclusion for everyone, and is strongly opposed to any legislation that would allow for discrimination of any kind.
