"Michael Heath, former head of the Christian Civic League of Maine, is promoting an initiative to remove “sexual orientation” from the measure passed 11 years ago by voters, but he admits his true aim is to legally ban homosexuality, reported WGME-TV.
“There is conduct that ought to be punished, and Christianity teaches, has always taught and still does teach, that sodomy is such a behavior,” Heath said.
Heath has formed a new group, “Equal Rights, Not Special Rights,” to collect signatures in hopes of removing LGBT protections from state law.
“If it’s removed, what does it do?” Heath said. “It very simply moves something, a behavior that belongs in the closet back into the closet.”
If they’re successful, Heath and other anti-LGBT activists hope to impose legal bans on homosexual behavior.
“There’s an open expression of homosexuality and sexual expression that is totally out of line for a country as great as the United States of America,” said Paul Madore, an activist who described his disgust at seeing a U.S. serviceman express his affection for a same-sex partner."
