Kim Davis inspires mayoral candidate in North Carolina to jail gay people
A mayoral candidate wants to throw LGBTI people in jail, saying he was ‘inspired’ by Kim Davis.
Eugene Holmes, who is running to become mayor of Kings Mountain, a suburb in Charlotte, North Carolina, says if he is elected he will be aim to ‘eradicate homosexuality’.
‘In my administration I would do just like Mrs. Davis did in Kentucky,’ Holmes said, according to the Kings Mountain Herald.
‘If you elect me, I’ll uphold the law of the state of North Carolina. I would get the D.A. to swear out a warrant on any man who says he’s gay. Sodomy is a crime, a felony in the state of North Carolina.’
He added: ‘What’s wrong with eradicating homosexuals? We should jail them, throw them all in jail!’
Holmes has had his own experience of jail, after being arrested in March for going to a Family Worship Center church to shout homophobic and transphobic slurs. According to the Herald, he was also jailed for felony, theft and larceny convictions, as well as spending time in a psychiatric ward for treatment after suffering from ‘religious hallucinations’.
When the Herald asked him what his plans were, other than targeting the LGBTI community, he said he wanted to ban alcohol, divorce and all immigration to the US.
