Conservative commentator George Will on
Sunday warned the gay rights movement not be a “sore winner.”
Appearing on Fox
News Sunday, Will, 72, weighed in on Arizona Governor Jan
Brewer's veto of a law which opponents said would allow an individual
or business to discriminate against gay people on the basis of their
religious faith.

Pointing to the public accommodations
section of the Civil Rights Act, Will said: “That's a settled
issue.”
“That said, this too must be said:
It's a funny kind of sore winner in the gay rights movement that
would say, 'A photographer doesn't want to photograph my wedding.
I've got lots of other photographers I could go to, but I'm going to
use the hammer of government to force them to do this.'”
“It's not neighborly and it's not
nice. The gay rights movement is winning. They should be, as I say,
not sore winners,” he said.
To bakery owners being asked to bake a
wedding cake for a gay couple's ceremony, Will advised: “Bake the
cake.”
