Calif. secretary of state clears 'Intolerant Jackass' initiative for signature gathering
Source: San Francisco Chronicle
An initiative by a Southern California attorney that would require the state to execute all gays and lesbians is apparently headed for oblivion. But a counter-measure that would label the author of any such initiative an “intolerant jackass,” and require him to take sensitivity training and contribute $5,000 to a gay-rights organization, has been cleared by the state for circulation.
Charlotte Laws, a Los Angeles-area writer, television commentator and local politician, said when she proposed her “Intolerant Jackass Act” in March that she was just trying to ridicule the “shoot the gays” author and didn’t intend to circulate her own ballot measure.
But on Wednesday, Laws’ initiative was given a formal title by Attorney General Kamala Harris’ office — “Sexual Orientation Prejudice. Initiative Statute” — and an official summary that made no reference to jackasses. The measure was then cleared by Secretary of State Alex Padilla for signature-gathering, with 365,880 signatures required within 180 days to make the November 2016 ballot. Laws couldn’t be reached for comment.
