Tenn. County Wants to Charge Homosexuals
Wed Mar 17, 1:37 PM ET Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo!

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.

sounds delightful…only if my husband can come on the date, too…and you could also bring along your favorite red-head

Apparently, they changed their mind.

Tennessee county reverses call to make homosexuality a crime

DAYTON, United States (AFP) - Officials in a rural Tennessee county held a five-minute emergency session to scrap an anti-gay resolution that earlier this week triggered a national furor, but failed to quash the controversy.

[snip]

All eight members of the panel supported Fugat, but some later disavowed their votes, saying they thought they were voting for a ban on gay marriage.

"It was my understanding the motion was on the (gay) marriage issue," panel chairman Terry Broyles, said Wednesday. "I was confused. I assume the other commissioners were, too."

Maybe you should pay more attention to what the f*ck you're voting on, prick.

Female circumsission has become a big deal in the UK too. There are long jail sentences (10 years) now even if you have your daughter mutilated abroad

I can imagine a happy day in court for some jurors though……

Yeah, there was a story about female genital mutilation in this month's issue of Jane.

Worst story in the article? Some woman (19) who was dating a dentist (30+) let him hit her up with novicane and cut off labia and cut out clit. Why? So she could focus less on her lust and more on his needs.

Maybe it's just me…but the little man in the boat is the best bit to pay attention to when giving her oral..no?
