A lawyer in California is pushing a ballot measure to legalize killing gay people
Updated by German Lopez on March 22, 2015, 10:30 a.m. ET
1. A California lawyer proposed a ballot initiative to legalize the execution of gay and lesbian people in the state.
2. The measure isn't expected to end up on the ballot, since it's clearly unconstitutional, but it's drawing attention to California's bizarre ballot initiative process.
3. California's attorney general is likely required by law to clear the initiative. But the state's Supreme Court is likely to step in and stop the measure, particularly if the proposal gets enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.
The measure would authorize the killing of gay and lesbian Californians
Orange County attorney Matt McLaughlin paid the $200 filing fee on February 26 to submit the *"Sodomite Suppression Act" to voters on November 2016.
