Even the most devout cultists understand that culling 7% (and rising) of the population in a country with a negative birth rate is a bad move.
EDIT: I must admit, this reply has been living in my head rent free, and I have a lot more to say about it:
Are you aware of how much the death penalty costs? It is on average $3,000,000 for the state to execute someone (legally). Assume for a second you are a billionaire oligarch. You've cut taxes for you and your billionaire friends and raised them for the working class. Now assume you have 7.1% of the population that earns a roughly 10% higher wage on average (please note that although the median household income is lower than average for lesbian couples, both women do still make roughly 7% more than heterosexual women, as the gay wage gap exceeds the gender wage gap)
Now, although this percentage of he population produce more income, they are still firmly generally working class. So what do you do? Obviously you'd try to make it so they can't marry so you can collect more from them in taxes; you wouldn't fucking spend your tax dollars to murder them, that makes no sense.
They're evil, they aren't stupid.
They're evil, and absolutely yes, they're fucking stupid. They aren't gonna go to all the trouble of a fair trial and appeals, they just want to kill whoever they want, when and where they find them.
