Ran across this one on a couple of different sites today, including at The New Civil Rights Movement. I was actually hoping someone else would post a diary about it. But nobody's yet come forward so I suppose the task falls on me.
It seems that "Pastor" Michael Wilson (he seems to preside mainly over a YouTube channel) is advocating for an amendment to the US Constitution with three parts to it:
1. The United States is a Christian nation with Judeo-Christian ethics, morals, principles and values.
2. The practice of homosexuality in the United States of America and all its territories and possessions, and in all its States, Counties and Cities shall be a felony punishable by ten years in prison at hard labor.
3. This amendment shall take effect the first Sunday after ratification.
Of course there is zero chance, at least currently, that such an amendment would make it through both Houses of Congress or that enough states would ratify it to place it in effect. Still, it's never the wrong time to call out hate when it appears.
One thing that strikes me as interesting is that while Section 1 of the proposed amendment claims we have "Judeo-Christian ethics, morals, principles and values," given the wording of Section 3, the "Judeo-" part is clearly being given short shrift.
And then of course there's the historical revisionism of declaring the US to be a "Christian nation" which of course to people like Wilson means it adheres to his particular version of theology. Only it isn't and it doesn't. And I hope it never does.
