Quote:
A Christian activist would like to see all gay people in California executed by firing squad, just so the rest of the citizenry can avoid having to endure God's "wrath." Matt McLaughlin last week paid $200 to file a ballot initiative with the Attorney General in Sacramento that proposes his Sodomite Suppression Act become law.

McLaughlin calls homosexual sex "buggery," and "sodomy," and labels it "a monstrous evil that Almighty God, giver of freedom and liberty, commands us to suppress on pain of our utter destruction even as he overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha [sic]."

He says that it's "better" that non-gay Californians kill the gays rather than have to suffer God's punishment.

"Seeing that it is better that offenders should die rather than that all of us should be killed by God's just wrath against us for the folly of tolerating-wickedness in our midst, the People of California wisely command, in the fear of God, that any person who willingly touches another person of the same gender for purposes of sexual gratification be put to death by bullets to the head or by any other convenient method."

McLaughlin does not state if minors – say, high school students – would be treated as adults and included in the execution mandate.

The Sodomite Suppression Act (note it's not the "Sodomy" Suppression Act, a clear indication that it's LGBT people, not just homosexual sex that McLaughlin takes issue with) also calls for a one million dollar fine for each act of transmitting, distributing, or performing "sodomistic propaganda" to minors.

And McLaughlin's bill would make it illegal for any gay person to hold public office, be employed by the state, or be granted any benefits, such as welfare, social security, or use any public assets, such as roads.

McLaughlin will have to get 365,000 legitimate California residents to sign up to support the Sodomite Suppression Act in order for it to move forward.

Wonkette has done its research and says that McLaughlin is likely the same person who in 2004 attempted to get the Bible in curriculum studies in public schools, an effort that would probably have been unconstitutional and cost the state about $200 million.

I love the hypocrisy of so-called "Christians" like this guy.

Doesn't his very own holy book state the following?:

1)Love thy neighbour
2)Judge not lest ye be judged
3)Thou shalt not kill
4)Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

Seems to me that someone should do a little re-reading of the Bible.

Never mind the fact that murder is illegal anyway, so this doesn't have a shot in hell of passing into law.
I really find this appalling and an example of complete bigoted extremism you would expect to see in an authoritarian dictatorship.

It also tells people to kill homosexuals, so it's clear that he is a true man of faith.

And yet one of the commandments says not to kill. I can't be the only one bothered by the contradiction.

Of course, the Bible also states that things like shaving, eating shellfish, and eating pork are sins. So he'd better have a nice full beard and abstain from shrimp and bacon.

The guy who filed the motion needs mental help and bad.

I'm ashamed of my state. emotion_facepalm This Satanic sodomite isn't going down without a fight!
I'm sure we can find a little uninhabited island for him where he won't have to worry about catching cooties other's sin rubbing off on him and causing his god to go all laser beam eyes on him.

And while we are at it, we can also have Westboro Baptist Church join him.
What makes him think this bill would actually stand a chance?
Edit: Join him on the island I mean.

I can't believe how ignorant some people can be in this day and age. People living alternative lifestyles are human beings not animals to be hunted down. The fact that someone thinks this way in modern day California makes me worry for the future of our society. It also proves people living alternative lifestyles still have a long uphill battle to acceptance by the majority of the rest of society in this country. I hope this thing gets struck down in such a way that man is publicly humiliated for all to read about and see on television news in California.

Another fine example of a hypocritical christian making their religion look bad. Its obvious the sate won’t go through with this, especially since doing so would be the same as what Hitler did to the Jewish people during the Holocaust

And adulterers, mouthy kids and people who work on the sabbath. So I guess healthcare workers. police and firefighters would all be killed as well.

This guy needs therapy. Any god this wrathfull is not worth worshiping.

Sounds like he belongs in ISIS-landia. They have just the culture and rules you seem to like sir. Enjoy your wonderful, and eye-opening, stay of 'perfect' obedience to abrahamic books.
