A Southern California lawyer has filed a proposal that would put a "kill the gays" initiative before voters, and Attorney General Kamala Harris most likely can't stop the process from advancing to the signature gathering stage.
Attorney Matthew G. McLaughlin filed the proposed measure last month, asking voters to criminalize homosexuality in the state and impose a death penalty sentence.
In his filing, which McLaughlin titles “Sodomite Suppression Act,” he seeks to have written into law that "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.”
Harris is now tasked with having to write a title and summary for the proposal.
More than 3,800 people signed a petition to State Bar President Craig Holden asking that McLaughlin lose his law license for advocating to “legalize the murder” of gays and lesbians.
