Let's be clear about this--no one "needs" to be killed.
With the one, possible exception of a person who has been found guilty of murder, our society--and most of the rest of humankind--has come to the conclusion and agreed that no one should be killed for any reason.
Ugly people, filled with either hate or that same ugliness but surely ignorance may say or wish such a thing but it's not true and it's not the case.
It seems one Lauren Ashley, Miss Beverly Hills 2010, "who will compete in the Miss California pageant in November...told Fox News that not only is she against same-sex marriage, but that she thinks it is divine law that gays should be put to death..."
This is unimaginable and unacceptable ugliness from a young woman in a public forum espousing homosexuality be punishable with death.
And the fact that she cites as her source, the Bible, is stunning.
I'm not going to rant and rave on this or say anything more than that churches nationwide and 'round the world should announce that they are, in fact, blatantly against this kind of thought and feeling.
Thinking that gays may be killed for being gay de facto makes it "okay" for gay beatings and bashings, let alone killing, as Ms. Ashley suggests.
Since when was Jesus Christ ever about murdering someone?

She would have been right at home in 17th Century Salem. That's not religious thought that's superstition. Homosexuality is not a choice is genetic.
you may be right (about the religious/superstititous) thing but unfortunately she cites her interpretation of the Bible.

I suspect that Ms. Ashley has honestly seen her chances of becoming famous as a mere pageant queen as less likely than gaining notoriety in the footsteps of Ms Prejean.
While the Old Testament can be interpreted as demanding that gays be put to death, people pick and choose that particular clause, while ignoring the myriad other death penalty offenses. If an omnipotent God wants someone dead, he can take care of it Himself. There's a lot smaller chance of getting the message messed up that way.
I couldn't agree more
