Georgia Religious Liberty Bill Veto and Corporate Pressure

Georgia Governor Nathan Deal vetoed a controversial religious liberty bill following significant pressure from major corporations including Disney, Coca-Cola, and the NFL. The "Free Exercise Protection Act" would have allowed faith-based organizations to deny services or employment based on sincerely held religious beliefs. Opponents argued the bill legalized discrimination, while backers claimed it protected religious freedom.
