A mayoral candidate in a small Charlotte suburb wants to “eradicate” homosexuality and throw LGBT people in jail, the Kings Mountain Herald reports.

Eugene Holmes, who is running for mayor of Kings Mountain, says he doesn’t want to be mayor, but he’s running because of his anti-gay views. He views Kentucky clerk Kim Davis as something of a role model.

“In my administration I would do just like Mrs. Davis did in Kentucky,” Holmes said. “If you elect me, I’ll uphold the law of the state of North Carolina. I would get the D.A. to swear out a warrant on any man who says he’s gay. Sodomy is a crime, a felony in the state of North Carolina.”

Holmes said he’s a member of the Church of God and also the Promise Keepers, a men’s religious organization.

1. I think this guy has mental issues

He was institutionalized before

2. I read the full article, the guy is a convicted felon.

In addition to being simply nuts.

3. I deplore the fate of any LGBT person unlucky enough to live in the vicinity of Charlotte.

Because you know this rhetoric will enevitably lead to a hate crime. Sooner or later, blood will be shed over this kind of hatemongering. May God damn this man.

4. Apparently he is on the ballot as Sherlock Holmes...

He served 5 years in prison for larceny. (85'-90') In July of this year he disrupted a flea market (?) and when he was being arrested he faked a heart attack. He was sent from the hospital to jail and later released when his bond was lowered. He has a court appearance on September 28th. Thanks Kim.

5. "I couldn't find enough hateful ideas in North Carolina

so I imported some from Kentucky."

6. Isn't it just a little ironic

That "Promise Keepers" and "Oath Keepers" lionize a woman who was jailed for violating her oath?

7. What is it with these people? Why do they think about this so much and why

does it bother them so much? I really don't get it.

8. We're here, We're queer, We guess we are going to jail.
