Kamala Harris Takes A Stand Against Gay Death Penalty

[sheshe2]

The California Attorney General has called out Matthew Gregory McLaughlin's disturbing ballot initiative



If you haven’t heard of Kamala Harris yet, that is soon to change. California’s Attorney General has just made an unprecedented move in standing against a horrible anti-LGBT bill. One that threatens male homosexuals with the death penalty.

snip

So here we are in 2015 and in California, an attorney named Matthew Gregory McLaughlin of Huntington Beach, wrote an initiative called the “Sodomite Suppression Act.” He paid a $200 fee with the Attorney General’s office to get the initiative on the ballot with the caveat that he would return with the signatures. It is an initiative adding a law to the California Penal Code.

His initiative addresses every male homosexual act as a crime punishable by death. Because of God. End of reasons. Firing squad is apparently Mr. McLaughlin’s preferred method of execution of gay men. He believes they should “be put to death by bullets to the head or by any other convenient method.” We stress “male” as lesbians usually do not participate in sodomy. So this is not even about homosexuality in general, it is a specific double discrimination initiative against gay men.

Ms. Harris has no power to keep McLaughlin from collecting signatures and no other AG has ever taken a stand against an initiative. But given that this particular initiative is suggesting genocide, she really didn’t have a choice, political or otherwise.

Ms. Harris said that she would do everything in her power to keep this ballot initiative from ever reaching a California ballot. “It is my sworn duty to uphold the California and United States Constitutions and to protect the rights of all Californians,” she said. “This proposal not only threatens public safety, it is patently unconstitutional, utterly reprehensible and has no place in a civil society. If the court does not grant this relief, my office will be forced to issue a title and summary for a proposal that seeks to legalize discrimination and vigilantism.”

Never thought Prop 8 would pass either, correct?

I would suggest that those that say they will sit out the election in 2016, think again. You think you are exempt to these rash laws and initiatives that the GOP keeps handing down? Think again. For starters, ask a woman.

2. The deep end....

yes way over the deep end.They are frothing at the mouth flat out mad. The right has been unhinged with hate. They lost any link they ever had to their humanity. They are soulless and adrift.

Tears Cha.

3. Yes, "deep end" is way understating what's happening here.. it is more like

"frothing" rabid hate-mongering.

Thank Goodness, we as a country, are getting such an powerful backlash against them, she.. with people in charge like Kamala Harris, Gov Dan Malloy of Connecticut, and Gov Jay Inslee of Washington. And, all the People who are standing up FOR Equality and AGAINST Hate!
