CA Hopes to Ban Violent Anti-Gay Vote

California Attorney General Kamala Harris asked a state court Wednesday for permission to reject a proposed ballot measure aimed at killing anyone who engages in gay sex. Harris said she made the unusual request because the proposal, which would make gay sex a punishable offense by “bullets to the head,” threatens public safety. A California lawyer paid a $200 fee to submit the initiative, which the state is required to put on the November 2016 ballot if more than 365,000 signatures are collected in 180 days. “This proposal not only threatens public safety, it is patently unconstitutional, utterly reprehensible, and has no place in a civil society,” Harris said in a statement.
