TX gubernatorial candidate believes gays should be put to death, but will focus on secession in 2014

Texas gubernatorial candidate Larry SECEDE Kilgore says he believes that, in accordance with the Bible, gay people should be put to death.

However, Kilgore says that for now, he’s putting that position aside — along with some of his other extreme views — so he can focus on one thing and one thing only in 2014: secession for Texas.

Kilgore, who legally changed his middle name to SECEDE in 2012, is a telecommunications contractor who lives in Arlington. He is also a perennial pro-secession candidate who is again running for governor as a Republican next year.

In addition to secession, Kilgore has previously advocated the death penalty for those who undergo abortions or commit adultery, along with otherwise strict adherence to so-called biblical law. But along with his views on LGBT issues, he’s putting all that aside this go-round.

And go live elsewhere, where he'd be happy. Like the Moon.

Greg seems to be locking up the tea party vote with such gems as the twitter campaign against Senator Davis using the hashtag #abortionbarbie

an abortion issue to the front instead of education, the economy and healthcare. Republicans want to keep a fine education, shared economy and good health, away from it's citizens throughout Texas. (This negative theme is in the Cruz Coloring Book for all of America too).
