Calif. attorney files for ballot initiative seeking to have all gays executed (xpost from GD)

Does anyone here know anything about this guy?? This is extremely disturbing.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. — An Orange County, Calif., attorney has filed a proposed ballot measure with the California Attorney General’s office asking voters to criminalize homosexuality in the state and impose a death penalty sentence.

The filing, submitted along with the required fee of $200, will allow attorney Matthew G. McLaughlin to begin the process of collecting the approximately 365,000 signatures needed to put the measure before California voters on an upcoming ballot, reports Raw Story.

The proposed “Sodomite Suppression Act” was filed by McLaughlin and received by the initiative coordinator at the Office of the Attorney General on Feb. 26, according to documents on file with the AG’s office.

Under McLaughlin’s proposal, “The abominable crime against nature known as buggery, called also sodomy, 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 Sodom and Gomorrha.”

It's "Gomorrah", jenius.

one hopes the trend of greater acceptance and rights continues and the haters fade into oblivion, but experience warns us to keep an eye on them, lest the most despicable among them gain real power....

Surely there is a hate crime or terrorism just in this filing. Throw this nut in the nutjar!
