A meeting of the Shreveport, Louisiana city council got heated when a transgender woman offered a Bible-quoting Christian councilman the first stone with which to stone her to death. According to the Advocate, the conservative council-member was calling for a repeal of the citys anti-discrimination ordinance, which bans discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Pamela Raintree, a transgender woman who quoted the Bible to Webb, saying, Leviticus 20:13 states, If a man also lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman, they shall surely put him to death, she said. I brought the first stone, Mr. Webb, in case that your Bible talk isnt just a smoke screen for personal prejudices.
Minutes later, Webb withdrew his resolution without calling for a vote. (emphasis mine)
