Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has vetoed the anti-gay bill, which could have seen LGBT people discriminated against by business owners.

The bill would have allowed business owners, who cite religious beliefs to refuse service to LGBT people.

Ms Brewer said the law could have had "unintended and negative consequences".

By vetoing the bill Ms. Brewer has sided with big corporates including Apple and American Airlines who fully backed the veto.

'I have not heard one example in Arizona where a business owner's religious liberty has been violated,'
