Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) said on Tuesday that she might support expanding the state's nondiscrimination law to protect gay and lesbian individuals, according to the Arizona Capitol Times.
I do not believe in discrimination, she said. We are in the United States of America and we have great privilege that is afforded to everyone.
The governor, who vetoed anti-gay legislation in February, did not outright endorse expanding the state's civil rights law, but urged the legislature to consider it.
She said on Tuesday she wasn't sure how much discrimination there is in Arizona against LGBT individuals. Thats something we dont see a lot of anymore, because of peoples changing patterns of discrimination, she said.
