It’s proposing the POSSIBILITY of capital punishment for sexual battery on a victim under 12, with two aggravating factors present (list includes repeat offender, used a firearm in the commission of the offense, created real risk of death… shit like that). If you think that sounds like the typical “queer,” that’ll either be a problem with you or, if you’re right, a problem with queers. Certainly not a problem with the law.
Edit: Looking further in the replies to the link, there are people who think that the law will be used to execute “gay people who kiss within a football field’s length of a child.” This is the problem with headline-reading outrage culture. These people have no idea what the law says and they are all but proud of it, because they are addicted to outrage. Fuck them.
They aren’t addicted to outrage. They are weaponizing lies in order to destroy political and cultural enemies. The “outrage” is just a strategy.
That’s true of the leaders, I’ll grant you. The average keyboard warrior foot soldiers who spread the lies and make them go viral are absolutely outrage addicts. I mean, they do the work for no money, they have to be getting something. That something is their outrage hit for the moment.
They are concerned about disproportionate numbers of gays getting caught.
