The reason why not that much information has come out on him is because he's a troll.

I'd love to see a thousand gays "walk this lawyer prick home every day from work " lol Greek and Romans often took a boy under "their wing" to have sex with.

Defy a straight person... lol

sodomite: a person who has anal sex with another person: someone who practices sodomy....... so that would go for str8 people right?

After a little research... the idiot behind the bill.

- Who Is The Mysterious Lawyer Behind California's 'Kill All Gays' Drive?

Despite the implications of a proposed ballot measure in California mandating the execution of all homosexuals, little is known about the Orange County lawyer behind it.


"The Sodomite Suppression Act" was submitted to the state by attorney Matthew Gregory McLaughlin on Feb. 26 and proposes to legalize the extermination of gay people via “bullets to the head or by any other convenient method.”

What we do know: McLaughlin is an attorney in Huntington Beach, California. The website of the California State Bar says his law license is active. It also says he went to the University of California Irvine for his undergraduate degree and George Mason University for law school.

He's been practicing law since 1998 and has circulated another state initiative back in 2004, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

This week, TPM contacted two watchdog groups that track anti-gay extremists: the Southern Poverty Law and Human Rights Campaign. Neither had information on McLaughlin or his history.

When TPM called McLaughlin's phone number provided by the state bar, the line went directly to a voicemail. A message left for McLaughlin at the number on Wednesday was not immediately returned.

Other than that, it's been difficult to dig up much more on the author of "The Sodomite Suppression Act," which among other things, mandates state and vigilante killing of any known homosexuals and (perhaps superfluously) barring them from holding public office or receiving public benefits.

When the Los Angeles Times attempted to reach him this week, it found that his address listed by the State Bar is a postal box at a Beach Boulevard strip mall.

"[H]is phone goes straight to voicemail and no one came to the door at the downtown Huntington Beach address where he is registered to vote," the Times reported.

The text of "The Sodomite Suppression Act," posted by the office of the state attorney general, provides some flavor of McLaughlin's voice.

"The abominable crime against nature known as buggery, called also sodomy, is a monstrous evil that Almighty God, giver of freedom and liberty, commands us to suppress on pain of our utter destruction even as he overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha," it begins.

"Seeing that it is better that offenders should die rather than that all of us should be killed by God's just wrath against us for the folly of tolerating-wickedness in our midst, the People of California wisely command, in the fear of God, that any person who willingly touches another person of the same gender for purposes of sexual gratification be put to death by bullets to the head or by any other convenient method," the proposal continues.

The other initiative McLaughlin has attempted, which failed, was a proposal to make the Bible a required text in public schools.

"Even if you don't believe its teachings, you'll agree that it includes rich usage of the English language," he told the LA Times in a 2004 interview.

I'd be taking a serious look at anyone that would even consider such a legislation...

seems to me the courts are more sensible than the politicians. Here in Canada we had to rely on Supreme court decisions on gay marriage, and also on spousal/survivor pensions, which were both won and directed politicians to change the laws.
