Recently a Tennessee county went on record as encouraging their county attorney to figure out how to ban all gay people from their county.
According to this AP News Story, they don't know what all the fuss has been about, but for the record, they only want to ban same sex marriages from their county and state.
According to the county attorney:
Fritts said. "There has just been so much misunderstanding about this. It was to stop people from coming here and getting married and living in Rhea County."
...
Fritts said he advised the commissioners that they could not ban homosexuals or make them subject to criminal charges. The U.S. Supreme Court last year struck down laws on homosexual sodomy as a violation of adults' privacy.
...
Twelve-year-old Caitlin Kinney and others in a noisy crowd at the courthouse Thursday night were disappointed at the reversal.
The seventh-grader said she doesn't want homosexuals in the community. "It's not a Christian thing," said Kinney, identifying herself as a Baptist.
