“the author of a bill proposing murdering California’s gays”
I hate to be a nitpicker, but it’s not “murder” if you pass a law to authorize it.
That's what I said too. However, Unconstitutional laws are null and void, so even if it passed, which I doubt it would, it would still never be in effect.
I think California might be a bit shocked at how many yea votes they get on it if it is sent to the voters. :)
