Snopes for daring to teach evolutionism in school (even though that decision was later overturned by the state’s Supreme Court), is asking for Tennessee’s criminal code to be updated to allow the county to charge homosexuals with “crimes against nature.”

“We need to keep them out of here,” said Commissioner J.C. Fugate, who introduced the motion.
