Group: Law Should Force Gays Out of Utah

[queerart]

A local group called Patriots for a Moral Utah has petitioned Lt. Gov. Greg Bell to submit what it calls the “Fair Solution Initiative” to referendum vote this November.

According to the bill’s text, published this morning on the group’s Facebook page, the initiative seeks to change state law to provide for “the involuntary redistribution and relocation of homosexuals to municipalities outside state boundaries or, to their rehabilitation in state sanctioned facilities.”

To do this, the bill would create an office of relocation and rehabilitation, a volunteer board of Utah residents to assist with the process, and public transportation options for homosexuals who will willingly leave the state. It also outlines guidelines to prosecute “delinquent homosexuals” or those who harbor them.

The bill’s statement of intent says that the bill is necessary to “heal the divides in this state currently afflicted on us by the homosexual population and give them the compassionate choice to either leave the state or conform to the moral standards of society and uphold the values of family and traditional marriage.”

3. Has to be.

"Compassionate choice."

"Final Solution."

If it's not, I can't see how the courts would uphold it.

4. Only Been To Utah

because of business trips. Can't say I will ever go back with all the LDS and RW bullshit that goes on there. Even if it got approved on the ballot I believe it would be reversed by the Supreme Court (or would have been by the SC of the past, not 100% sure about todays SC). It would still create problems in the country as a whole. First, it would embolden the RW to violence against gays. Then I can see a whole bunch of other states hopping on the bandwagon. If you ever wonder how it felt to be Jewish or gay in Nazi Germany now is your chance. Is this an indicator that gays should be prepared to leave the country?

6. It's not that often you can call something "Nazi"

without violating Godwin's Law. This is one of those rare times. Has to be a (bad) hoax.
