"Legislation in the US state of West Virginia which would have allowed businesses to discriminate against LGBT people has failed.

The bill, HB 4012, was killed in the Republican-controlled Senate by 27 votes to 7.

One of many Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) style bills across the US, the legislation had become toxic despite having supposedly taken on LGBT protections."

I don't often get to say this about West Virginia (Splitters!), but good for West Virginia. 

Reading the article, I get the impression that money made the difference rather than morality, but I'll take what I can get.
