Group: Law Should Force Gays Out of Utah

[Industrialsize]

They have crazy people in Utah. The article is self explanatory. You can't make this shit up:
"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. ”

Sweetness! I'm moving to Utah! When they pick me up and move me to the reservation, I'll get reparations, open a casino and retire. Jackasses like these people have been around for centuries. They believe their religous freedoms outrank a citizen's freedom to LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS that is guarranteed in the Constitution.

Religion is the cause of every single war in the world. Religion is the cause of most teen suicides in the U.S. Religion creates hate and discontent and then blames the other guy. Religion believes it is not beholden to the law of the land, so WHY THE FUCK does the law still protect religion?

The Founders wanted freedom from religious persecution. It seems to me religion has done a damn good job at persecuting people since it's inception. Ask Jesus.

Wonder what Orrin Hatch is going to say about this one.

 

[midlifebear]

Two times Orrin Hatch has been confronted by actual, real journalists who have asked if it is true that he is an alien from outer space as previously claimed by several tabloids (they keep a list). And both times Borrin' Orrin has said with a very straight face, "Yes, it's true."

Underneath all of that Max Factor pancake face makeup is something that looks like the Geico gecko. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

When was the last time the Governor of a state took away rights from a sect of society? If the Governor of Virginia had stripped rights from African-Americans, as he did for sexual orientation, would we be so ho-hum about it? If the Attorney General of the same state can tell college campuses who they can and cannot protect, then who is safe?

Utah would like to round up ‘the gays’ and march them out of the state or into rehabilitation facilities. In this day and age, really? Do those ‘facilities’ still use electro shock therapy? Are they going to carve out a ‘gay state’ for these law-abiding, tax-paying citizens?

Texas says it is illegal for ‘the gays’ to foster-parent or adopt children while the state’s resources are wholly inadequate to provide care. Presumably, these neglected and abused children came from heterosexual relationships in the first place. Yet the state believes a person’s sexual orientation precludes them from providing a nurturing environment.

The federal government, not to be outdone, enacted DOMA and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Don’t Pursue. Somewhere along the way, they forgot about Don’t Pursue. Currently, several pieces of legislation waits on desks in the U.S. Capitol to introduce Constitutional bans against same-sex marriage. The Constitution is a living document that enumerates rights, protections and privileges, it should not be an instrument to deny them to a certain sect of society.

These aren’t laws or executive orders against illegal aliens, criminals, or terrorists. They are directed at citizens born in this country, and by Constitutional Law, are afforded the rights and privileges of ALL Americans. To try and deny law-abiding, tax-paying, citizens the same rights afforded to their neighbors and friends amounts to an attack on the Constitution of the United States of America.

The Founders specifically abhorred a ‘class society’, and by culling out a sect of society and denying them inalienable rights afforded to ALL, these laws and attacks against ‘the gays’ is labeling them ‘second class citizens’.

Tell me I’m a second class citizen. I endured public school, but I can still read, and I know exactly where it says in the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness”.

So I endured public education, served my country in time of war in uniform. I pay my taxes, pay my bills, contribute to charity, respect my fellow man, and I’ve committed no crimes. I’ve denied no one else their rights, voted my conscience, and supported my country, even when I had reservations about its general direction.

How am I a second class citizen? Other than who I choose to love and live my life with, what crime have I committed that warrants the removal of rights I was entitled to at birth? I have never asked for ‘special’ rights or laws, just equal. I’m not morally superior to anyone else because of where I spend Sunday morning, just as I’m not morally bankrupt for where I spend Saturday night. That is called religious persecution, and it’s one of the founding principles of our democracy.

The Founders wanted people to be able to freely practice their religion, but they never intended for religion to oppress the rights of others. Unfortunately, that is what it has come to. The mere thought of marching people out of their homes, and forcing them to move ‘somewhere else’ ought to be as stomach wrenching as death marches or concentration camps and gas chambers.

If you think it’s okay to oppress people for their ‘lifestyle’ choices, you are no different than Nazi’s. If you want to strip people of their rights simply because you don’t agree with them, you don’t really believe in democracy, peace on earth, and goodwill towards men. If you believe your ‘organization’ has the right to tell me how to live my life in my own home, you don’t deserve the rights we are ALL granted by the Constitution.

Some people call being gay a ‘choice’, but I know better. Homosexuality isn’t a choice, it isn’t taught, and it isn’t a learned behavior. Bigotry and hatred are taught and learned, and it happens every day. When it is taught through the fear of salvation and everlasting damnation it takes on a whole new connotation, we only need to look back in history to find countless instances: Slavery, Civil-Rights, Nazi regimes.

I don’t want special rights. I just want the ones I am guaranteed by birthright. Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. I just want to be left alone.

It's like reading poetry. Bravo!!

 

[B_Nick4444]

does anyone really think the law could be enacted?

 

[Industrialsize]

No.....this law could never be enacted......Crazy Christianists.

 

[B_VinylBoy]

does anyone really think the law could be enacted?

It goes beyond that. The fact that people would have the gall, in 2010, to propose such legislation in a country that's supposed to be the Land of the Free is what really gets me.

However, considering the current state of accepted stupidity in our country it's not surprising that such a bigoted law made it this far.

 

[B_Nick4444]

really, all this drama

I can imagine some homophobe reading these remarks, and then mocking by using a lisp, and hands on waist ...

nothing will come of it, and get used to the idea that someone else will hold different values and perceptions than you or me

unless, there's actual movement to enactment, the Wagnerian opera is unnecessary

 

[midlifebear]

LOL! Nick of the sixes has obviously never been to Ewetaw. LOL!

There's a reason we refer to being among crowds of mormons as to being like among a herd of 600 sheep.

I can only hope that it is a well-played hoax. Seems at this moment in time the jurly is out on the subject.

There is in it's own way a certain beauty to this lunacy.

The Ultra Conservatives will shut this one up in one quick hurry! If they were to let this one actually go anywhere the backlash could in fact have exactly the opposite effect and bring down a Federal mandate that would in essence give those of gay orientation everything they are asking for.

Then there will be the 2,000 Attorneys from the ACLU that the State of Utah will have to pay when they start losing their cases. If Utah is not in financial trouble like most of the US, then the losses of these cases will place them there.

What about the private Attorneys that do Civil Rights Cases? They'll have to get their pound of flesh too.

After acts of incredible stupidity when in a War caused panic, the United States of America placed American Citizens of Japanese Ancestry in Concentration Camps and then generations later had to pay not only the few left living BUT the descendents as well to those that were not, I think that this one is hilarious.

Now we know what Fred Phelps has done! He has moved to Salt Lake City and become a Mormon!

In all truth this kind of crap is even an insult to ALL those who have adopted Mormonism as their faith! This is total garbage!

It does provide great fodder for humor and we will be making jokes about bigoted idiots for some time to come!

Goddamn you're one racist SOB. You can't even go more than a few posts before you bring up one minority group or another to denigrate and make fun of at their expense.

be grateful I'm not running this site. You would have been banned long ago.

 

[B_Nick4444]

see?

(and, BTW, if you think about it, the remark is actually about the character of the left)

 

[StormfrontFL]

see?

Dude get to an AA meeting immediately. You need help.
No one is attacking Mormons so your remark about outrage against them is laughable. FuzzyKen posted that whoever supports this idiocy would be an insult to Mormons. Your double vision is not allowing you to see clearly. So either dry out or drink some more and pass out. Your choice.:drunk::drunk:
