TX GOP candidate cites 'Biblical law' on homosexuals & vows to 'gladly execute a convicted sodomite'

Texas GOP candidate cites ‘Biblical law’ on homosexuals and vows to ‘gladly execute a convicted sodomite’

A Texas Republican candidate for governor cited what he said was “Biblical law” last week and vowed to “gladly execute” convicted LGBT people.

Out Smart magazine first reported that Larry Kilgore made the remarks about homosexuals on Twitter.




Kilgore told Lone Star Q in 2014 that he believes LGBT people deserve to be put to death. But at the time, he said that his run for office would be focused on the issue of Texas seceding from the United States.

In 2012, Kilgore legally changed his name to Larry SECEDE Kilgore.

If you countdown is to how long before it comes out he is gay, I am with you. My first thought upon seeing this post was how long before this guy gets outed. There is a part of me that thinks this guy is gay.

or people with tattoos? And will they have to open a new department for restaurants that serve shellfish or use the same plates for meat and dairy?

Isaiah 34: 7 - "And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness."

Psalm 22:21 - "Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns."

Deuteronomy 33:17 - "His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns."

etc. etc.

Many fascist warriors for republican 'Jesus' out there would gladly execute every gay or trans person they could get their hands on if only it was legal and they are working towards that end everyday in Trump's AmeriKKKa.
