'Shoot the Sodomites', sex soon illegal for gays/lesbians in CA?


By Nancy Houser     11 hours ago in Politics .

Sacramento - California's Attorney General Kamala Harris, candidate for Barbara Boxer's Senate seat in 2016, is forced by law to prepare an initiative that says, "Shoot the Sodomites." It calls for anyone participating in homosexual sexual acts to be shot in the head.

 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."


The proposal was written by Attorney Matt McLaughlin, of Huntington Beach, California, who paid the $200 filing fee for the “Sodomites Suppression Act” on February 26, 2015. The next step involves Attorney General Kamala Harris, who is now forced by law to release the initiative for circulation by May 4, 2015, in a 100-word summary.
Text from McLaughlin’s proposal:

Declaring it is “better that offenders should die rather than that all of us should be killed by God’s just wrath,” it would require that anyone who touches a person of the same gender for sexual gratification be put to death by “bullets to the head or by any other convenient method.”
 
The measure would also make it a crime, punishable by 10 years in prison and permanent expulsion from the state, to advocate gay rights to an audience that includes minors. It specifies that its constitutionality can be judged only by a state Supreme Court that has been purged of LGBT justices and their advocates. And it authorizes private citizens to step in as executioners if the state fails to act within a year. Another provision would require that the text of the initiative be posted prominently in every public school classroom.

Not listed with his above text but in an NBC article, McLaughlin's proposed law would also ban gays — whom he refers to as "sodomites" — from holding public office. Also, homosexuals or advocates of homosexuals found guilty of spreading "sodomite propaganda" would be fined $1 million or see jail time.
Also in the article, it says that a group of California legislatures filed a complaint against McLaughlin for proposing the California ballot initiative that will allow all gays and lesbians to be shot in the head, and for making it a crime to be an advocate for homosexuals in California.

Once the initiative leaves Ms. Harris’s office, it will have 90 days to acquire 365,000 signatures to make it to the 2016 ballot. At that time, it will need to be voted in by California residents, followed by the ruling of the courts to make it constitutional.

The LGBT Caucus is gathering signatures to disbar Matthew Gregory McLaughlin. They have contacted the California State Bar requesting for Attorney Matthew Gregory McLaughlin to be examined to see if he is fit to be on the board due to his erratic behavior. This is still an ongoing process.

Anyone can file a ballot initiative in California (and is often the case, they get hundreds of strange ones each year). I doubt it would get the couple hundred thousand signatures needed to get on the ballot.

I have a feeling someone is trolling in this case, playing the Poe role to make opposition to gay marriage look crazy.

Exactly. Good call.

By the way, California's ballot process is exactly why California is going over the fiscal cliff. It allows for a a form of pure democracy that has been killing budgetary restraint in California for decades.

Which is why Barry wants 100% mandatory voting...

If Harris were really serious about it, they could file an injunction in federal court to throw the initiative out, as it is clearly contrary to established court precedent establishing "sodomites" as a protected class.
