Proposed bill to shoot and kill gay and lesbians being circulated in California

CALIFORNIAN lawyer Matt McLaughlin’s proposal of the Sodomite Suppression Act to legalise the killing of gay and lesbian residents must now be circulated after he paid the fee to have the bill lodged.

McLaughlin has paid the $200 filing fee for the proposed bill that seeks to allow “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”.

In California, civil law currently mandates that anyone who pays the filing fee to lodge a bill would see it reach signature-gathering stage, regardless of how unlawful or discriminatory it may be.

State law also directs the attorney general to prepare a title and a maximum 100-word summary of the bill and forward it to the secretary of state for a 90-day period of public signature-gathering.

While there is no legal way for state officials to stop McLaughlin lodging and paying the fee for the proposal, he would still need to gather almost 366,000 signatures in the 90-day period before it could be debated by state parliamentarians.

“It’s better that offenders should die rather than that all of us should be killed by God’s just wrath,” McLaughlin declared in his proposal.

His proposed bill would also make it a crime to support LGBTI rights, punishable by a $1 million fine and up to 10 years in prison and expulsion from California.

By law, Attorney General Kamala Harris is now scheduled to prepare the title and summary by May 4.

However, the Supreme Court can step in and prevent measures that violate the Californian Constitution from reaching the ballot.

LGBTI member and state senator Ricardo Lara has condemned the measure.

“I support freedom of speech, but calling for state-sanctioned execution of a protected class calls into question the proponent’s character and judgment,” Lara said in a statement.

Lara and five other LGBTI members of the legislature filed a formal complaint with the state bar against McLaughlin on the grounds that attorneys are supposed to demonstrate “good moral character”.

Meanwhile, in response to McLaughlin’s proposed bill, Californian activist Charlotte Laws has crafted a response: the Intolerant Jackass Act.

“Any person, herein known as an ‘Intolerant Jackass,’ who brings forth a ballot measure that suggests the killing of gays and/or lesbians, whether this measure is called the Sodomite Suppression Act or is known by some other name, shall be required to attend sensitivity training for at least three (3) hours per month for twelve (12) consecutive months,” Laws’ counter-proposal read, according to The Advocate.

“In addition, the offender or ‘Intolerant Jackass’ must donate $5000 to a pro-gay or pro-lesbian organization.”

  1. Matt McLaughlin should be charged for war crimes, at the International Criminal Court in the Hague!

  2. If he is making some point (politcal/social) it is too obscure; hasn’t worked. Or, is it something Americans would understand?
    Buggered if I know….

  3. OUTRAGIOUS!

    I propose this: –

    BIGOT SUPPRESSION ACT
    Penal Code section 39
    a) The abominable crime against bigotry, is 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 overseas lands.
    b) 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 encourages, aids or abets another bigot person for purposes of encouraging propaganda and/or gratification be put to death by bullets to the head or by any other convenient method.
    c) No person shall distribute, perform, or transmit bigot propaganda directly or indirectly by any means to any person under the age of majority. Bigot propaganda is defined as anything aimed at creating an interest in or an acceptance of human behaviour and encouraging the abolition of the current separation between church and state. Every offender shall be fined $10 million per occurrence, and/or imprisoned up to 20 years, and/or expelled from the boundaries of the state of California for up to life.
    d) No person shall serve in any public office, nor serve in public employment, nor enjoy any public benefit, who is a bigot or who espouses bigot propaganda or who belongs to any group that does.
    e) This law is effective immediately and shall not be rendered ineffective or invalidated by any court, state or federal, until heard by a quorum of the Supreme Court of California consisting only of judges who are neither bigot nor subject to disqualification hereunder.
    f) The state has an affirmative duty to defend and enforce this law as written, and every member of the public has standing to seek its enforcement and obtain reimbursement for all costs and attorney’s fees in so doing, and further, should the state persist in inaction over 1 year after due notice, the general public is empowered and deputized to execute all the provisions hereunder extra-judicially, immune from any charge and indemnified by the state against any and all liability.
    g) This law shall be known as “The Bigotry Suppression Act” and be numbered as section 39 in Title 3 of the Penal Code, pertaining to offences against the sovereignty of the state. The text shall be prominently posted in every public school classroom. All laws in conflict with this law are to that extent invalid.

  4. I don’t get it. Incitement to commit violence a.k.a Imminent lawless action should prevent someone from getting away with this in the States.

  5. The point is, they wrote a bill.

    Australia needs to cut ties with the Falling U.S.
    They kill & poison more people than ISIS. Terror is an American word. terrorism is an American way of life. They are Godless. At least ISIS respect a God. The Christian God has one rule, Love God and Love your neighbour. USA love money (their God of Golden Bull Worship).

  6. I propose that we select a piece of scarcely populated land somewhere on the planet and let the xtian fundamentalists establish their own little bigoted utopia. Somewhere near the eastern end of the Mediterranean should work nicely.
