California Catholics upset about a bill which would no longer allow them to discriminate against gays. Oh the humanity!

Courtesy of the National Catholic Register:  

Catholic and other Christian educational institutions in California face the loss of existing protections that allow them to carry out their educational mission in line with their religious principles, due to a new bill working its way through the California Legislature. 

The Golden State’s bishops have opposed the bill as both a violation of the Church’s religious liberty and an attack on poor students. 

State Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens, the author of S.B. 1146, has argued that the bill closed a “loophole” that allows religious-based institutions of higher learning to discriminate against homosexual and transgender students, thanks to existing religious exemptions from state and federal non-discrimination statutes. The bill affects all institutions of higher learning in California accepting public funding, either directly from the state or through students. 

“California has established strong protections for the LGBTQ community, and private universities should not be able to use faith as an excuse to discriminate and avoid complying with state laws,” Lara explained in an April statement to constituents about the bill, which has the backing of the LGBT lobby group Equality California. 

Apparently the bill has already passed the senate and is now headed toward the assembly. 

Gee what is this country coming to when Christian schools can no longer hate on the gays while hiding behind their holy book?

You know didn't the Pope JUST ask the Catholics to stop being such dicks to the LGBT community?

Why, yes he did.

The great George Takei takes on the anti-gay Tennessee Republicans as only he can.

"Takei pride" I love it!

George Takei really is a national treasure.

Asshole from Texas attempts to bully LGBT folks during Pridefest in Anchorage. Update!

Courtesy of ADN:  

A fight broke out at the Alaska PrideFest event on Saturday involving anti-gay protesters brandishing a megaphone, police said. 

The altercation began near the Delaney Park Strip in downtown Anchorage and involved PrideFest participants and protesters, police said. One of the protesters identified himself to an ADN photographer as David Grisham of Repent Amarillo, a Texas Christian and political organization. 

Police estimated about 20 people were involved. They said officers intervened before anybody was hurt.

According to the article the incident only involved some pushing and shoving. (And undoubtedly some name calling). Afterwards the police stayed to keep the peace until the event was over.

I have to say that I am proud of our LGBT community for standing up for themselves, I only wish I could have been there to help.

I know that guy with the flaming red doo. He is friends with my daughter, and I met him during the Democratic caucus this year. (Yes, he was a Bernie supporter.) (Update: Okay that is apparently NOT the same guy I met during the Dem caucus, and my daughter does not know him. Seriously how many people in town have that hair color?)

By the way Southern Christians were part of the Summer of Hate back in 2009, when they were mobilized by Jerry Prevo and brought in from Wasilla to protest against a ballot measure to protect gays in the workplace here in Anchorage.

They won that time, but since then the laws and attitudes have changed and our LGBT community feels much safer.

Apparently that still does not mean that some asshole from Texas cannot fly up here in an attempt to spoil their day of celebration however.

Which is sad.

Kansas Christian school retains the right to expel a student if ANY of their family members are gay.

Courtesy of the Independent:

A Christian school in Kansas is at the centre of mounting controversy after it emerged that it reserved the right to expel students if any of their family members were gay or transgender. 

A so-called Statement of Understanding sent to parents who wish to send their children to the private school located in Wichita, requires them to agree that a student who attends can he asked to leave if their home life promotes anything “counter to the school’s understanding of a biblical lifestyle”. All pupils and parents are required to sign the document. 

“Given the debate and confusion in our society about marriage and human sexuality it is vital that Trinity families agree with and support the school’s traditional, Christian understanding of those issues,” says the document.

“Therefore, when the atmosphere or conduct within a particular home is counter to the school’s understanding of a biblical lifestyle, including the practice or promotion of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) lifestyle or alternative gender identity, the school should have the right, in its sole discretion, to deny the admission of an applicant or discontinue enrollment of a current student.”

Man you really have to hand it to religious fundamentalists, when it comes to deep dark nasty discrimination they have no equal.

Now see to a freethinker like myself the very idea that some school would reject me because they held a prejudice opinion of some member of my family would get their name scratched off my educational wish list so fast I would probably snap my number two pencil in half doing it.

But then again I did not spend my formative years being indoctrinated into a primitive superstitious cult that would make me ignorant enough to even consider attending a school like Trinity Academy.

Congressional Republicans quietly gut President Obama's executive order protecting LGBT workers employed by federal contractors from discrimination.

Courtesy of HuffPo: 

Republicans quietly voted Thursday to gut President Barack Obama’s executive order barring workplace discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees of federal contractors. 

The House Armed Services Committee voted 33 to 29 to tuck language into the 2017 defense authorization bill — must-pass legislation — that blocks the president’s 2014 executive action that makes it illegal to fire or harass employees of government contractors based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. Instead, the amendment applies a broad exemption that would allow contractors to openly discriminate against LGBT people based on the contractors’ religious beliefs. 

More than 2,000 federal contracts are awarded every year to religious organizations. In all, the executive order affects 24,000 companies employing roughly 28 million workers, or about one-fifth of the nation’s workforce.

Here I have a solution.

Why don't we simply stop awarding federal contracts to religious organizations? 

What, too radical?

Oh yeah I forgot, we all have to respect everybody's superstitious nonsense.

And isn't that so much more important than respecting their human rights?

Nancy French posts one of the most grammatically incorrect poorly edited pieces on behalf of Bristol Palin that I have ever seen. And remember, I cover the Palins.

First this courtesy of Breitbart:  

Mere months after the Palins supported Schilling’s remarks comparing Islamic extremists to Nazi, the former Alaska governor and her eldest daughter defended Schilling after he was canned by the liberal sports network ESPN. Schilling simply made his opinions known regarding grown men using the same bathrooms as little girls. He dealt with facts. Of course, conservative thought is not welcome in the world of ESPN, and because of Schilling’s stance, he was fired. 

Many remained silent. Others blasted Schilling. But the Palins weren’t shy about backing the three-time World Series champion. Sarah Palin wrote on social media, “ESPN continues to screw up.” Bristol weighed in with “Curt Schilling got fired for telling the truth.” 

Schilling, while appreciative, wishes the Palins didn’t feel obligated to rush in from the bullpen. “The embarrassing and pathetic thing is they would have to,” said Schilling while speaking on Mama Grizzly Radio this week. “Me being fired for being a conservative American was only a matter of time from ESPN”

So to be clear Schilling actually went on "Mama Grizzly Radio" which is so under the radar that even I forgot that it still existed.

That right there tells you how pathetic this Schilling guy is.

But perhaps not nearly as pathetic as Nancy French who once again demonstrated her complete lack of integrity by posing as Sarah Palin's brawling baby making daughter and typed out this middle school level response (Now keep in mind I, in no way, altered the content of what follows): 

Here’s the thing, Curt — we don’t feel obligated to defend you. It’s RIGHT to stand up and fight for the culture while the left tries to flush it down the toilet. But I don’t know why you’re saying that ESPN fired you for being conservative. Remember how ESPN came down hard these guys? 

— when commentator Tony Kornheiser when he compared the tea party to ISIS 

— when ESPN documentary film maker Spike Lee who said he just can’t stand interracial couples: “I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street.”

— or when Lee, after he said he wanted to shoot Charlton Heston with a .44-caliber Bulldog.

 — or when Lee, after he claimed Trent Lott was “a card-carrying member of the Klan. I know he has that hood in the closet.” 

— or when Charles Barkley (on ESPN’s “Waddle & Silvy” radio show) said, “Well, you know, I have a thing for Sarah Palin,” he explained. “I think she’s hot. I wouldn’t vote for her, but she is hot now. … I’ve always said, I’ve got a crush on Sarah Palin. I would never vote for her, I’ll always vote Democratic. I think you’ve got a better chance of helping poor people if you vote Democratic. … But I’ll always have a thing for Sarah Palin.” 

— or that time when Mike Tyson said that my mom should have her guts raped out of her. (As usual this last part is a lie. Tyson never said she should be raped. Here are his exact words.)


So here's a fun game we can play, let's count the number of errors in that post.

You know I am not sure if Nancy French is just saying "fuck it I don't get paid enough to put a lot of effort into this job anymore," or if Sarah is finally making Bristol do some of the typing herself. 

Either way this was quite a pathetic attempt to garner a little publicity by defending the indefensible.

In the contest between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz to see who is the most vile human being it looks as if Ted Cruz has pulled ahead again.

WATCH: @tedcruz: "If Donald Trump dresses up as Hillary Clinton, he still can't go to the girl's bathroom."https://t.co/RYB8iZlVDN

Courtesy of Time: 

Ted Cruz invoked Hillary Clinton’s name for a joke he used to criticize Republican rival Donald Trump’s stance on so-called “bathroom bills.” 

The Texas senator, who is in favor of laws that would force transgender people to use restrooms that match the gender they were assigned at birth, has slammed Trump for disagreeing. He painted a vivid image of a hypothetical situation during a campaign stop in Terre Haute, Indiana, which he said was meant to “make things real simple” to voters. 

“If Donald Trump dresses up as Hillary Clinton, he still can’t go to the girl’s bathroom,” Cruz said, according to ABC News.

People sometimes talk about having to hold their noses when voting for Hillary Clinton, but that is certainly better than having to don an entire hazmat suit in order to vote for either Ted Cruz or Donald Trump. 

Even during contentious child custody case Sarah Palin and Dakota Meyer find common ground. A bias against transgendered people.

This is ESPN's Curt Schilling's disgusting view of transgender people #HB2 https://t.co/7DKRXDL4GL pic.twitter.com/hLNhtRf9xe

I know what you're thinking, but no that it not Sarah Palin pictured above.

It is however a rather disgusting and homophobic tweet sent out by Curt Schilling which resulted in his dismissal from ESPN.

This apparently distracted Palin from her ongoing argument for the destruction of the arctic polar bears, and she posted this on Facebook in response:

ESPN continues to screw up.

This of course feeds into the completely fabricated Right Wing fantasy that transgendered people wish to use the bathrooms only to leer at their women and molest their children.

A fantasy that apparently Dakota Meyer also shares.

dakotameyer0317 People who are arguing for men to gain access to women's restrooms to me are absolutely failing to see the issue on many levels. I have a daughter and as a father it is my duty to ensure her safety and proper environment in which to grow up in. I will be damned if I am going to let a man, cross dresser or otherwise, go into a bathroom with her in it. Going into that bathroom the last issue he has to worry about is how comfortable it makes him feel. And had any taken into consideration the president this sets? Next is these same guys in the locker rooms with your daughter, your wife, or even you. Sorry but this doesn't fly with me. 

First off I am fairly certain that Meyer meant to write "precedent" and not "president," but what can one expect from a man who allowed his penis to get close to a Palin?

Secondly this argument feeds off of certain people's innate homophobia, and in fact it is no more likely that a transgender or transsexual man would molest a young girl in a bathroom stall than a regular bible thumping "straight" dude would molest a young boy in one.

Actually to be honest the second scenario is FAR more likely and there is ample data to back that up.

This is just another example of how easily intellectually stunted people are manipulated into hating and fearing people that they really have no reason to hate or fear.

Sarah Palin is very excited that homophobic racist Senator Jeff Sessions has now endorsed Donald Trump.

"I don't know what happened. I also taught Track that when striking a woman, it's always with an open hand. Less chance of bruising that way.

Courtesy of the Trump Tramp's Facebook page:  

Bold, smart, respected, conservative Senate icon endorses Donald Trump with enthusiastic proclamation: "This isn't a campaign, this is a movement!" - Sen. Jeff Sessions 

(Thank you for hosting Trump and me in your office at our Anti-Iranian Nuke Rally, Sen. Sessions. Your leadership in the pro-American Security/pro-Israel movement is unsurpassed, as is your pro-legal immigration/anti-criminal border crossings effort. America thanks you!) 

- Sarah Palin 

Oh yes, I'm sure that Sarah Palin speaks for all of America in thanking Senator Sessions for selling his endorsement to "the Donald."

But seriously, who better for Sessions to endorse considering that he once referred to the NAACP and  ACLU as "un-American" and "Communist inspired" organizations?

Senator Sessions is also "offended" by the views of scientists warning of man made changes to our climate,  and once compared support for marriage equality to support for pedophilia.

So here's a thought.

If Donald Trump finally gets his little Day-Glo orange feelings hurt by the GOP and decides to run as a third party candidate, as he has threatened, does that mean that Palin will finally drop the facade and support him in that endeavor as well?

Hey, maybe if she did he might actually consider putting her on the ticket with him.

Or am I just being greedy now?

By the way apparently Donald Trump's Secret Service agents have been informed that the real danger to Trump comes from the press which is the only explanation I can come up with to explain this:

However it is nice to see that Track Palin finally has a job.

Virginia lawmaker introduces legislation that would force public schools to check a students genitalia before allowing them to use the bathroom.

Courtesy of Raw Story:

A bill filed by a Virginia lawmaker this week would require schools to be certain that children are using the restroom corresponding to their “correct anatomical sex.” 

The legislation, which would prohibit transgender students from using the bathroom matching their gender, is being sponsored by Republican Del. Mark Cole. 

House Bill 663 defines “anatomical sex” as “the physical condition of being male or female, which is determined by a person’s anatomy.” 

“Local school boards shall develop and implement policies that require every school restroom, locker room, or shower room that is designated for use by a specific gender to solely be used by individuals whose anatomical sex matches such gender designation,” the measure states.


Civil rights advocate Tim Peacock noted that “adults would be required to inspect children’s genitals before they use the bathroom” for the legislation to be enforceable. 

“This is what the conservative movement has devolved into: forcing children to allow adults to examine their genitals out of misplaced fear that transgender kids and adults might commit a hypothetical never-before-seen act of violence or sexual aggression (that would still be against the law with or without transgender protections),” Peacock wrote.

I can tell you right now that if this bill were actually to pass, and let's just assume that even Virginia is not that homophobic, that public school parents would lose their shit at the idea of adults making their children drop trou and prove their gender before taking a piss.

Not only that but schools have a strict set of guidelines they must follow while interacting with children, and looking at their genitals is most certainly on the "do not EVER do" list.

Six of the current GOP presidential hopefuls promise to support legislation allowing businesses to discriminate against gay people under the guise of "religious liberty."

Courtesy of Think Progress:  

Six of the Republican candidates vying for the presidency have signed a pledge promising to support legislation during their first 100 days in the White House that would use the guise of “religious liberty” to give individuals and businesses the right to openly discriminate against LGBT people. 

Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, Rick Santorum, and Mike Huckabee vowed to push for the passage of the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA), legislation that would prohibit the federal government from stopping discrimination by people or businesses that believe “marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman” or that “sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage.” 

The pledge is supported by three conservative groups: the American Principles Project, Heritage Action for America, and Family Research Council Action. 

“It has become clear that the First Amendment Defense Act is rapidly becoming a signature issue that unifies the GOP,” Maggie Gallagher, Senior Fellow at American Principles Project, said in the group’s statement announcing the pledge. “Three out of the four top contenders for the nomination — Carson, Cruz, and Rubio — have pledged to prioritize passing FADA in their first 100 days of office. Additionally, Bush, Graham, Paul, and now for the first time, Donald Trump, have publicly expressed support for FADA.” 

Gallagher added that a Republican win in 2016 could mean that FADA becomes reality. “Real, concrete protections for gay marriage dissenters appear to be just one election victory away,” she said.

This is for all of you who are claiming they will sit this election out if the Democratic candidate of your choice does not win the nomination. 

Time to grow the fuck up and recognize just what is at stake.

Or should I also bring up the potential Supreme Court appointments?

Still one of my all time favorite Presidents and Christians.

In the things you need to see category, I think John Oliver's hilarious and impassioned plea for anti-discrimination laws is at the top.

Courtesy of Yahoo News: 

On HBO’s “Last Week Tonight” Sunday, John Oliver called on the federal government to extend basic civil rights protections to the LGBT community because, as he put it, “There are still a number of ways to ruin a gay honeymoon.” 

In many states, Oliver noted, same-sex couples can get married and return to work only to find they’ve lost their jobs or housing because of it. 

“That’s clearly terrible,” he said. “The only possible reason you should be fired from your job after your wedding is if your theme was ‘Stolen Office Supplies.’” 

But discriminating against gay people is “surprisingly legal,” Oliver said. “In 31 states, people are at risk of being fired, evicted or refused service just because they are gay.”

Oliver also reached out to every single presidential candidate to ask them this:

"Would you support passage of a federal law or laws that prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, specifically in the areas of employment, housing, public accommodations, and access to credit." 

Only four responded.

Lincoln Chafee, Bernie Sanders, and Martin O'Malley on the Democrats side all said yes they would support the legislation.

And Rand Paul's campaign only responded with an "We'll pass. Thanks."

Personally am a little disappointed that Hillary did not respond as I think this reaches a demographic that she is going to need going forward.

As for the rest of the candidates, well I think their silence is deafening don't you?

Mormon father upset that his son in the Boy Scouts may not grow up sharing his same prejudices.

Courtesy of NPR: 

The church, also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has used the Boy Scouts as its official program for young men for more than 100 years, according to Quin Monson, a political science professor at Brigham Young University. 

"The church took the Boy Scout program and decided its values and mission aligned closely enough with that of the church's program for young men that they just wholesale adopted it," says Monson, who is Mormon, the father of a Boy Scout and a former Boy Scout himself. "Basically, if you are a young Mormon male, you join the Boy Scouts."

For me the idea that scouting and the Mormon religion align so closely is almost reason enough to keep your kid out of Boy Scouts.

This father was then asked how the upcoming changes allowing gay scout leaders was impacting his Mormon son:

His reaction was interesting: It's not a concern to him. He's a pretty deep thinker, and a thoughtful kid, but his reaction was, "Well, I don't see why it matters, dad. Why is this such a big deal?" 

That's the hard part about all of this, is that it impacts a group of young men who don't necessarily understand why.

If you listen to the audio of this interview, you can hear Mr. Monson become quite choked up while answering that last part.  As if the very idea that his son is too young to recognize how wrong it is to allow men who love other men to participate in scouting was incredibly troubling to him.

However what I took from this was that his son was too young to be indoctrinated fully into the homophobia that permeates the Mormon community leaving his mind open and accepting, and that it was his father who was too old and rigid in his thinking to recognize why a church supposedly based on the teachings of Jesus Christ should open its arms and hearts to all people regardless of skin color or sexual orientation.

Perhaps once this new rule pertaining to scout leaders is fully implemented it might help to provide a counterbalance to Mormon indoctrination. And that would be a good thing.

Catholics come out as victims of their own prejudice, due to their anti-marriage equality stance.

Courtesy of Blue Nation:

 In a video that must be seen to be believed, a group of people, shown in black and white for dramatic effect, sit down to “come out.” 

But they’re not coming out as gay. No, they’re doing something far more courageous. 

They’re coming out as being against same-sex marriage. 

The group behind this video is called Catholic Vote, a conservative non-profit, and it is fairly obvious that as members of one of the largest churches in the world they have no idea what it is like to be discriminated against.

As evidenced by the fact that this video is extremely insulting to every person who has ever been shamed for being gay, or for not being religious, or for daring to stand up for the rights of others.

Mike Huckabee says that if he is elected President he will undermine any Supreme Court decision that favors gay marriage.

Hey, what did you really expect from me?

Courtesy of Right Wing Watch:

Yesterday, Mike Huckabee chatted with Iowa radio host Steve Deace and Religious Right organizer Bob Vander Plaats, who led Huckabee’s 2008 campaign in the first-in-the-nation caucus state, about the Supreme Court’s upcoming ruling on gay marriage. 

He said that if elected president, he would simply ignore any Supreme Court decision in favor of marriage equality until Congress passed legislation legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide…which he would then veto. 

“Until the Congress of the United States puts on my desk a bill that basically defies the laws of Nature and Nature’s God and defies the longstanding tradition of marriage, the federal government will not recognize same-sex marriage because there is no law that requires it and that would be true for the military and it would be true for all federal institutions,” Huckabee said. “If the Congress decides that they want to pass enabling legislation, they could put it on my desk and I would veto it, and they can attempt to override it. That’s the process.” 

Seriously Huckabee, we have already decided not to vote for you. 

You don't need to keep finding new ways to make yourself repugnant to us.

Franklin Graham calls for boycott of Wells Fargo because their new ad featuring lesbian moms is "being crammed down our throats."

Aw, that is just all kinds of sweet and adorable don't you think?

Well if you do you are a lesbian loving heathen pagan scum. Well at least according to Franklin Graham who is outraged, outraged I say!

This from Graham's Facebook page:  

Have you ever asked yourself–how can we fight the tide of moral decay that is being crammed down our throats by big business, the media, and the gay & lesbian community? Every day it is something else! Tiffany’s started advertising wedding rings for gay couples. Wells Fargo bank is using a same-sex couple in their advertising. And there are more. But it has dawned on me that we don’t have to do business with them. At the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, we are moving our accounts from Wells Fargo to another bank. And guess what—we don’t have to shop at Tiffany & Co., there are plenty of other jewelry stores. This is one way we as Christians can speak out—we have the power of choice. Let’s just stop doing business with those who promote sin and stand against Almighty God’s laws and His standards. Maybe if enough of us do this, it will get their attention. Share this if you agree.

First off anybody who sees this commercial about two loving people adopting a hearing impaired child, and sees it as sinful is a fucking POS.

And secondly why the hell are these fundamentalist Christians always referencing things being shoved down their throats?

Personally I thought it was a lovely advertisement.

But then again why wouldn't I?

After all I was not raised to hate people because of who they love, what they believe, or how they look.

Iowa gay pride festival gets new sponsor. Want to guess who?

Courtesy of The Eater: 

This year's Iowa City's Pride Fest has an unlikely new sponsor: Chick-fil-A. According to local news station KCRG Adam Donius, owner of Chick-fil-A's Coralville, Iowa location, has agreed to donate 200 sandwiches and sides for Iowa City's annual pride picnic, which is being held on June 19. This comes as a surprise to many who have labeled the fast-food spot as against gay rights. Organizers of the event explained that the idea of bringing the community together is what appealed to Donius and resulted in the food donation. 

This news comes after the popular fast-food chain was banned from Johns Hopkins University due to antigay comments made by President Dan Cathy in 2012. Cathy has been very outspoken on his opinion that gay families are not "biblical families," even taking it to social media with his anti-homosexual tweet calling the DOMA ruling a "sad day for our nation." 

Well that is good news. Nice to see that not all Chick-fil-A owners are homophobic assholes.

Still one has to wonder if incidents like this might convince some people to make different wardrobe choices.

 

Forget raising money to help a victim of cancer, or of the Boston Bombing. The real money is in refusing to serve pizza at gay weddings.

Courtesy of NewNowNext: 

According to GoFundMe’s Most Raised page, the fund benefiting Memories Pizza is the second highest-funded project in the website’s history, raising more money than funds for a woman dying from a rare cancer, victims disfigured by the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, and a disabled man brutally beaten outside his home.

I first read this post yesterday, and since then the Most Raised page has removed Memories Pizza's account from their list. However if you click the link above, and compare the top earners to Memories Pizza's GoFundMe page, it will still demonstrate that they have indeed raised more money than everybody else except an account for a young girl dying of cancer.

And that includes more money than two victims of the Boston Bombing, the family of a priest killed in a car accident, and a woman dying of a rare form of cancer.

Maybe it's just me but it seems that if closing your store after a few threatening phone calls, makes you a bigger victim in the eyes of the eyes of the public than losing your limbs or dying of cancer, then there is something truly fucked up about this country.

Oh and by the way Memories Pizza is reopening. Which must be a snap when you have  $842,000 for remodeling, advertising, and of course security to keep teh gays out.

A "Shoot the Gays" initiative is about to be circulated in California. No seriously, in California!

Courtesy of SF Gate:  

A Southern California attorney’s “shoot the gays” initiative is not destined to become law — for one thing, it’s clearly unconstitutional. But Attorney General Kamala Harris is scheduled to clear it for circulation in May, and she may not have any choice. 

Matt McLaughlin, a lawyer from Huntington Beach in Orange County, paid his $200 filing fee Feb. 26 to submit the “Sodomite Suppression Act” to the voters. 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.

Gee isn't the Bible great?

Of course this initiative has absolutely NO chance of even coming up for a vote, but the very fact that there are people out there who think that killing gays is a reasonable method for avoiding God's  wrath is not a little frightening.

And you have to know that if one of these people is willing to go this far, that there are probably hundreds more who are secretly hoping the initiative passes.

Just imagine, open season on killing gays in California. It would be like declaring hunting season on inbred dipshits in Kentucky.
