Lev. 20:13: If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.
Rom. 1:32: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
At least one part of the country recognizes that God does not want homers to receive the special privilege of being allowed to live, and it's ultra-blue, papist-infested New Jersey no less.

So you see? God's Word can be applied to cure any social situation. Praise His holy name!

Fatal Encounter
FRIDAY afternoon was sliding at last toward evening, with what promised to be a weekend of memories and laughter ahead. Defarra Gaymon [no, I did not change that name — PIP], 48, the charming and dapper chief executive of a credit union 900 miles south in Atlanta, had been back in his boyhood home in New Jersey for only a matter of hours, and already he was supposed to be in two different places at once.
* * *
He went to Branch Brook Park, a 115-year-old grassy belt of ponds and fountains surrounded by gritty Newark. In polite circles and press releases, the park is best known for its cherry blossoms; in other circles and news stories it is also well known as a destination for gay men seeking anonymous trysts in the overgrown thickets and patches of forest.
Edward Esposito, 29, was also in the park that day. An eight-year veteran of the Essex County Sheriff’s Office, Officer Esposito was working undercover to arrest men soliciting sex.
What followed remains under investigation, a chain of events in which both men would be described as behaving entirely out of character, with the gentle banker whose sister called him a “softie” turning violent, and the level-headed officer, facing an unarmed man in a wide-open space, responding with lethal force. In the end, in a placid, grassy spot beside a pond, Officer Esposito shot Mr. Gaymon in the abdomen, killing him.
* * *
The shooting seems to have done what hundreds of arrests over the years never could: keep men looking for sex out of the park.
