Tenn. County Wants to Charge Homosexuals
Wed Mar 17, 1:37 PM ET
DAYTON, Tenn. - The county that was the site of the Scopes "Monkey Trial" over the teaching of evolution is asking lawmakers to amend state law so the county can charge homosexuals with crimes against nature.

The Rhea County commissioners approved the request 8-0 Tuesday.

Commissioner J.C. Fugate, who introduced the measure, also asked the county attorney to find a way to enact an ordinance banning homosexuals from living in the county.

"We need to keep them out of here," Fugate said.

The vote was denounced by Matt Nevels, president of the Chattanooga chapter of Parents, Family and Friends of Lesbians and Gays.

"That is the most farfetched idea put forth by any kind of public official," Nevels said. "I'm outraged."

Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court (news - web sites) struck down Texas' sodomy laws as a violation of adults' privacy.

Rhea County is one of the most conservative counties in Tennessee. It holds an annual festival commemorating the 1925 trial at which John T. Scopes was convicted of teaching evolution. The verdict was thrown out on a technicality. The trial became the subject of the play and movie "Inherit the Wind."

In 2002, a federal judge ruled unconstitutional the teaching of a Bible class in the public schools.

Jeeze, forget about unions for a seck..this is just plain rediculous!

That is f*cking ridiculous. I'm not gay, but I feel like they are being treated like we treated black people back then. This is almost turning into the 1960's/70's again. The constitution says all men are equal. This applies to everyone that lives here. If you can't handle the fact that anyone who is a legal US resident should be treated the same, get the f*ck out.

Some people don't understand that one extreme is just as bad as another extreme.

lmao, that's so ridiculous it's funny. Crimes against nature? lol... That's not a crime against nature. A crime against nature would be raping a tree or humping a grape vine.

Marvin Gaye's real name was actually Marvin Gay, but he got it legally changed because of all the teasing and such...

lol... what a thread

I won't share my opinion, but let it be known I would turn this thread into somthing that would have to be locked :)

*not because I agree with the issue at hand, because it will swirl so far off topic into a sensitive area for GT*

I read this in a biography...

"Gay then decided to change his last name by adding an "e" to the end—at once a sign of independence from his father and a defiant response to those who had questioned his sexual identity.

Just because it happens in nature does not make it natural...

Crime against humanity. The very least they could have done was phrase it better. Genocides are what I would call a crime against humanity.
