When I first saw this, I was sure I was being punked. But this fellow apparently is a genuine Senate candidate — Democrat, of course — from California. Under the remarkable headline “Gay People Are Gods,” Mark Charles Hardie writes:

My proposal calls for the creation of “California LGBT Police Departments” throughout the Golden State. These police departments, funded by the state, would be staffed exclusively by gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender police officers. The goals of these proposed “LGBT Squads” are to better serve communities while minimizing troubling incidents of anti-gay violence.
I believe it is important for heterosexual people and homosexual people to love and respect one another regardless of sexual orientation or transgender identity. However, it is also vital for LGBT communities to wield police power backed by the force of law. In other words, we must not only demand “gay rights,” but we must also demand “gay power.”

“To wield police power backed by force of law” — every progressive’s dream.
