California lawyer seeks to put "shoot the gays" proposal on 2016 ballot

A California lawyer says he wants to legalize the execution of gay people, and there may be nothing the state's attorney general can do to stop the proposal from moving forward.

Matt McLaughlin, an attorney in Huntington Beach, California, filed paperwork to bring his proposal, which would sanction the killing of gay and lesbian residents on the basis of their sexuality, before voters in November 2016.

The initiative, named the "Sodomite Suppression Act", is awaiting further review by the office of the state attorney general, Kamala Harris, who does not appear to have the authority to block it. However, the measure is unlikely to reach voters, as the California supreme court can intervene to prevent measures that violate the state constitution from reaching the ballot.

The so-called "shoot the gays" proposal would mandate "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". McLaughlin, a lawyer since 1998, declared in his proposal that it is "better that offenders should die rather than that all of us should be killed by God's just wrath".

Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris seeks court order to stop anti-gay initiative

Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris sought a court order Wednesday to keep her from having to provide an official title and summary for what she called an "utterly reprehensible" proposed ballot measure that would authorize killing gays and lesbians in California, her office announced.

The action by the state's top prosecutor was designed to stop the so-called Sodomite Suppression Act that was proposed by Huntington Beach attorney Matthew McLaughlin. The ballot initative would authorize the killing of gays and lesbians by "bullets to the head" - or by "any other convenient method".

Although considered an incredible long-shot to pass even if it ended up on a ballot, McLaughlin's move tests the limits of the state's normally liberal attitude toward placing even the most extreme ideas on a ballot if enough signatures are collected, experts say. For a fee of $200, McLaughlin submitted the act to the state attorney general's office, which must then give it a ballot-worthy name, summarize its effects and set the clock running for gathering signatures.
