The Christians Who Want To Execute You–And The Republicans Who Court Them

[Allie Cat]

'You' in this case referring to LGBT people, not an indiscriminate 'you'.

From Queerty

Case in point: Kevin Swanson, an Colorado minister who called for the execution of gays and lesbians just this month. He did so at a conference that he organized, citing Leviticus. Then he invited his guests out to ask them some questions: GOP presidential candidates Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee and Bobby Jindal. Cruz later said the “doesn’t know what this gentleman has said and what he hasn’t said,” which beggars belief given the circles that Cruz’s father runs in. It also raises the question: Why the hell doesn’t he know anything about the people with whom he associates?

...there’s a strong thread of kill-the-gays belief running through the religious right. One of the chief influences of the modern conservative evangelical movement is Rousas Rushdoony. Rushdoony founded the Christian Reconstructionist movement, which called for the U.S. to follow Biblical law, including executing LGBT people. The movement remains popular, especially during the GOP primary season. Four years ago, Republicans were tripping all over themselves to court David Barton, who advocates for theocracy.

Thankfully, Jindal is out of the running, and now out of office in his own state as well... but in case any of you still thought the Republicans were on the side of any LGBT people (even the rich, white ones)... they aren't, and if you vote for them you are voting for people who at least want you to be a second-class citizen, if not executed outright.
