A mayoral candidate in a small Charlotte suburb wants to eradicate homosexuality and throw LGBT people in jail, the Kings Mountain Herald reports.
Eugene Holmes, who is running for mayor of Kings Mountain, says he doesnt want to be mayor, but hes running because of his anti-gay views. He views Kentucky clerk Kim Davis as something of a role model.
In my administration I would do just like Mrs. Davis did in Kentucky, Holmes said. If you elect me, Ill uphold the law of the state of North Carolina. I would get the D.A. to swear out a warrant on any man who says hes gay. Sodomy is a crime, a felony in the state of North Carolina.
Holmes said hes a member of the Church of God and also the Promise Keepers, a mens religious organization.
Whats wrong with eradicating homosexuals? We should jail them, throw them all in jail! Holmes told the Herald.
Holmes has been jailed plenty himself. He was arrested in March for disorderly conduct and trespassing after he went to the Family Worship Center church in Kings Mountain and shouted derogatory and inflammatory things about the LGBT community, then refused to leave when asked, reports the Shelby Star.
