http://www.cdapress.com/news/local_news/article_51e473f8-999d-11e3-90c4-001a4bcf887a.html?_dc=428571419557.5565&cbst=15BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A lawmaker promoting disputed legislation to protect religious people who refuse to serve gays, lesbians and others to whom they object from lawsuits says he'll withdraw the bill, for now.
Republican Rep. Lynn Luker of Boise says his measure was intended to protect the free exercise of religion, but was misinterpreted to be a "sword for discrimination."
