Former state Sen. Chris Buttars, who sponsored Utah’s same-sex marriage ban and became one of the most polarizing figures in Utah politics, died Monday at age 76.

Buttars had long championed conservative social causes, fighting to restrict abortion in the state and opposing what he considered the homosexual agenda, crusades that made him a favorite of the Republican right.

“I’m going to tell you where I stand and I don’t want to know where you stand. You may not agree with me but you’ll always know where I stand,” Buttars said in his Senate floor speech when he retired in 2011. “It served me well but I’ve sure been in a hell of a lot of trouble.”

I'm sure there is a special section in hell for people like him.

He's now made his way to the white curtain in the sky, thrown on his robes and green apron, slipped his hand through the curtain, provided the proper handshakes, secret key words, and special temple name, and is now basking in celestial glory.

Hope it was slow and very painful. He was a piece of Shiz.

Hope it was slow and very painful. He was a piece of Shiz.

Amen. Buttars was a horrible human being.
