Just when this native North Carolinian thought it couldn’t get any worse here in The Old North State after the passage of a constitutional amendment to ban same gender marriage, along comes Pastor Charles L. Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church (3283 Providence Mill Rd, Maiden, NC 28650). He says he’s “figgered a way” to take care of all this stuff (“queers, lesbians, and homosexuals”) that the Bible, God, and he are “a’gin” (Southern for against): He wants to build two fifty- to a hundred-foot-long fences, “electrified so they cain’t get out.” He’ll put the lesbians in one and the “queers and homosexuals” in the other. “Feed ‘em; fly over and drop some food. In a few years they’ll all die out” because “they cain’t reproduce.”

Nice and tidy. Wouldn’t you agree?

Why would I bother, you wonder, to write about this man’s projectile vomiting of ignorance and disgust for his brothers and sisters? And his spreading of that vitriol with the vengeance of a deadly virus? Because there’s something familiar about this story.

Yes, y’all, sump’n’s just a wee bit familiar here.

I b’lieve it’s called the Holocaust.

But wait just a gall-darn minute; that never happened, right?
