I think this must be a sign of the coming apocalypse. Or at least some very strange days indeed.
That said, at this point, I suspect the governor will veto the bill. In the grand political calculus, signing the bill could possibly be political suicide; the conservative right would go into a frenzy. And immediately start a petition to reinstate the laws, I expect. (I can't believe they decided to have adultery remain a crime. They can't possibly have prosecuted people for it; half Arizona's adult population would be in jail! And retaining the law renders the repeal itself subject to constitutional challenge, I would think. Although it is surely something to make you laugh, that they would retain laws that punish only heterosexuals.)
