New group aims to make homosexuality a crime in Maine

http://wgme.com/news/local/new-group-aims-to-make-homosexuality-a-crime-in-maine


AUGUSTA (WGME) -- Mike Heath and other former heads of the Christian Civic League of Maine have formed a new group, "Equal Rights, not Special Rights."

They say they're tired of being forced to accept the homosexual lifestyle.

Paul Madore and this small group of people say they want to restore America to its former greatness by repealing same sex marriage laws and making homosexuality a crime.

"There is conduct that ought to be punished," Heath said. "And Christianity teaches, has always taught and still does teach, that sodomy is such a behavior."

In fact, they're against any public displays of affection by members of the LGBT community.

of why there is a separation between church and state. And yes, the Constitution also provides for freedom of speech, even for idiots and religious bigots.

My guess is that RWNJ, gun nut, professional election loser and asshole Michael Hein in there, too! I used to work with him in an unrelated job and can picture him easily as a storm trooper, and NOT the kind from Star Wars!

PEACE!

Can sodomy be between a man and a woman? I believe it can be so Mr. I do not know what I am talking about should probably talk about what he does know about, incest perhaps?

Did they leave out the part where he demanded we bring back segregation?
