*various incoherent noises of disbelief, disgust and outright rage*

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] sinboy, I hear about this. Go read the article, then come back and let me put the following in bold so it becomes crystal clear:

"DAYTON, Tenn. - The county that was the site of the Scopes "Monkey Trial" over the teaching of evolution is asking lawmakers to amend state law so the county can charge homosexuals with crimes against nature.

(snip)

Commissioner J.C. Fugate, who introduced the measure, also asked the county attorney to find a way to enact an ordinance banning homosexuals from living in the county.

"We need to keep them out of here," Fugate said."


Anybody want to look me square in the damn eye and tell me this isn't about discrimination and hatred, anymore?

Actually, I meant that I can't wait until a kid of one of the Rhea County administrators who approved this idiotic measure comes out. Then they'll be faced with having to imprison their own child.

(yeah, I know, some of them will probably be happy to do it, but hopefully it'll make *some* people stop and think)
