Utah's Final Solution: Patriot Group Bill To Force All Gays Out Of The State, Arrest Fugitives

[FreeState]

http://joemygod.blogspot.com/2010/03/utahs-final-solution-patriot-group.html

These people are beyond crazy.

Calling it "Utah's Fair Solution", a group called Patriots For A Moral Utah is holding a press conference today to announce legislation that would force all homosexuals to leave the state. The bill would create a transportation system for shipping all gays out of the state and would criminalize any Utah citizen who "harbors a remaining homosexual." Here's the press release they sent out yesterday:

Patriots For A Moral Utah are pleased to announce a press conference tomorrow, at which time we will announce a new bill which outlining a solution to the problem of homosexuality in Utah. In the past 5 years it has become increasingly difficult and troublesome for the stead-fast and moral citizens of Utah to live their lives and their faith in peace, while the homosexuals continually force their choices and behaviors on us. This new legislation, titled the "Utah Fair Solution," will offer a peaceful but effective end to the tribulation in our blessed state. Despite promises from the homosexual activists to be out in force at the press conference, our President Nora Young has scheduled the announcement for 1pm in the Capitol Rotunda (March 8th). Please Join us.

Sincerely;
Paul Jackson

Let's see. Forced relocation. Transport system. Penalties for harboring. Yup. Sounds like an authentic Final Solution to me. You may laugh at these idiots, but this yet another example of the recent avalanche of Christianist calls to criminalize, imprison, and exterminate homosexuals in the United States. These demands are now made openly, boldly, without shame. And they are often coming from the top rungs of the most powerful and well-known Christian organizations in the nation.

1. Clearly unconstitutional

[FreeState]

That wont stop them trying unfortunately

there are many many laws against GLBT Americans all over the country that are clearly unconstitutional.

These extremist would love to make the US into Uganda.

35. Until Scalia et al get ahold of it

then it will suddenly be constitutional.

36. Until Scalia et al get ahold of it

then it will suddenly be constitutional.

2. "Patriot?" "Fair Solution?"

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. I don't laugh

and who's next?

These fuckers have to be fought and exposed at every step of the way.

[smirkymonkey]

4. So where will all those closeted Mormons go?

:shrug:

[northofdenali]

28. Probably deeper into the closet.

I saw a great protest (anti-Prop8) poster a while back (sorry, no link) that said "My 2 Moms can beat up your 14 wives!

WHEN will the United States - not just Utah, but ALL of us - realize that separation of church and state is the law? It's not an option, it's not a choice. I'm terrified of the American Taliban and the rest of these extremists gaining more and more power.

5. Fair Solution -

Fair is only a few letters off of Final. How absolutely lovely. Remind me again how it is that people call President Obama a Nazi? That is both frightening and disgusting, rolled into one.

[rockymountaindem]

6. That's disgusting

They would probably be offended if you asked them if they are Nazi sympathizers, but for once that comparison is valid.

[theoldman]

7. Utah, Uganda, same thing.

[FreeState]

9. Im sure the same groups are connected as well n/t

[Initech]

13. Reminds me of a quote from Futurama:

"Oh see back in your day, Mars was a vast, uninhabitable wasteland, much like Utah. Although unlike Utah it was eventually made liveable."

[Hello_Kitty]

8. Some commenters to JMG and other blogs think it's a joke. I'm not sure.

It's not quite over-the-top enough for me to dismiss it as satire. I've met far too many people who sincerely believe the rhetoric of this group.

[Initech]

10. The Talibornagains at work.

[BlueJazz]

11. I swear, if one more of those pesky Queers knocks on my door and tries...

...to get me to adapt their lifestyle....

[Fumesucker]

22. I know what you mean..

Between the Gay Witnesses and the Atheist Witnesses I can't even take a damn nap anymore without some creep banging on my door to give me a pamphlet and preach at me.

:evilgrin:

[donco6]

This has got to be a joke. No?

I mean - "solution?" "Transportation system for shipping?" Or are they really just that stupid?

[Occulus]

38. The page for the group has a link to the Landover Baptist Church forums.

It's a hoax, but in extremely poor taste.

edit: now I'm not so sure; a Kos diary currently on the rec list as of this writing notes that anyone can post links to a page on FB, and the Landover link apparently wasn't posted by the page's author.

12. hateful, pathetic and this does the haters priceless damage

[napi21]

14. This is obviously very wrong and illegal, bit I have to ask...

Why in the world would anyone who is gay want to live in Utah? I'm not gay but I would NEVER consider living in that state! I believe in letting the Mormons do their thing, but I don't want to live in their midst because THEY don't want ME to do what ever MY decisions happen to be. I say let them have their own State and leave everybody else alone!

[Jennicut]

29. Because it is wrong to force people to have to leave based on their sexual orientation.

However, I would be frightened if I was gay and living in Utah. Really scared. I feel relieved to live in CT, where gay marriage is legal and no one cares. And gay people here are not thought of as a threat by most normal people.

[MadMaddie]

15. They feel emboldened

This is why State and Church MUST always remain seperate.

[frebrd]

16. Why would any gay person want to stay in utah, anyway?

:shrug:

I wouldn't spend even a week there for any amount of money!

[no limit]

17. Lol Utah

[BonnieJW]

18. If no one in Utah speaks out against this,

then everyone who is gay, including their families, should leave that awful state. It should be blacklisted for anyone who has a brain. We can all sit back and watch Utah deflate and slither into the ground.

Those who speak against ANY group of people underestimate the backlash. While gays may represent a small minority, they are members of families and good friends to many. I would not go near any state that singled out any group for persecution of any kind and I know there are huge numbers who share my feelings.

[madmom]

19. "while the homosexuals continually force their choices and behaviors on us"...I think

I missed something here. Did the homosexuals try to force them to change or shove their version of morality down their throat? Did they try to make them fugitives in their own homes?

People like this make me wish I was more pro violence (only against this kind of shit!)

[bergie321]

23. see

The gays found some magical golden plates that told them to wear their own brand of "magic underwear"...

21. I think it's a hoax.

[Tailormyst]

24. This has to be fake

I alerted on it anyways. Why give some loon any more ideas.

[WCGreen]

25. Hey I think the Mormons are a whole lot more creepy than any other

so-called special interest group here in the US of A...

I want them out of my community, Ship 'em all to Utah and then build a big fence around the state.

Make them all where a Big M on their shirts.

Exclude them from certain professions.

No more marching around neighborhoods spreading their filthy life style.

They ain't real Christians.

There, how do they like it.

[brooklynite]

26. Sorry, not going to get worked up about it...

Is it bigoted? Yes

Is it against all the prinicples this country was founded on? Yes

Are there people in this country that support ideas like this? Yes

But -- An email blast from a gmail account (not evening a website?) does not a movement make.

The problem with the internet is that you can't always tell the difference between something written by an advocacy group with a million members and something written by a loner in his parents' basement.

[TornadoTN]

27. Just get the box cars hitched up to the trains already. Maybe they'll set up camps in other states

This really is a "Final Solution to the Jewish Problem" set to the tune of "Final Solution to the Gay Problem" in today's times.

Having said that, it's probably a hoax, but I wouldn't put it past many people on the right these days.

[Gin]

34. surely there are gay mormons....this has to be a bad joke

[Contrary1]

30. I used the google monster...

The only links I can find about Patriots For A Moral Utah is in regard to this story.

Hopefully; it is a joke...though a lousy one.

[xxqqqzme]

31. The press conference shoud be starting now.

Is it?


googled it - found this

"To all those who've been tricked this time around: the "patriots for a moral utah" is a hoax. There is no petition to force gays to move out of Utah. It is a hoax. Repeat, a hoax. Not a very funny one, but it's either designed to just make Utah look bad or to mirror the 19th century legislation from Missouri that made it legal to exterminate Mormons to get them out of their state."

32. Betty Bowers speaks for me!

[Kievan Rus]

33. Why do the craziest things like this seemingly always come out of Utah?

[KingFlorez]

37. This seems like a prank

I can't find anything that suggest that "Patriots for a Moral Utah" is a real group and I'm not sure if any group would even be allowed to announce any sort of initiative inside a government building.
