Sally Kern: Gays Bigger Threat than Terrorists, Islam

Legislator Claims Gays Are Bigger Threat Than Terrorists
Compiled by the DiversityInc staff. Date Posted: March 11, 2008

Oklahoma State Rep. Sally Kern is coming under intense fire for remarks she made last week saying homosexuality was "the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam."

Speaking to a group of approximately 50 people at an Oklahoma county Republican club, Kern went into a diatribe about how homosexuality was destroying the nation, according to The Advocate.

"The homosexual agenda is destroying this nation," Kern said. "It's just a fact. Not everyone's lifestyle is equal. Just like not all religions are equal. The very fact that I'm talking to you like this today puts me in jeopardy. I'm not anti … I'm not gay bashing. But according to God's word, that is not the right kind of lifestyle. It has deadly consequences for those people involved. They have more suicides. There's more illness. They're more discouraged. Their life spans are shorter. It's not a lifestyle that's good for this nation. It's the death knell for this country."

To watch a video with the audio of Kern's complete comments, click here.

Neil G. Giuliano, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), responded to Kern's remarks, saying "this hateful and defamatory language from our public officials is completely unacceptable. GLAAD calls on its members and allies to stand together to hold elected officials like Kern, pledged to serve all the people, accountable for promoting hatred and bigotry."

Kern, who also accused members of the LGBT community of influencing school curriculum to indoctrinate children, has reportedly refused to apologize for her remarks.

This kind of obvious and very blatant bigot-baiting and incitement to violent hatred is why I support groups like Pink Pistols and ideas such as Gun Rights as Gay Rights. It's an ugly solution, but it's an ugly problem she and the other mostly-misguided foolish sheep with the occasional truly evil sociopath in the demographic are causing.

As I posted here, words do matter.

I do not appreciate your specious comments to the effect that homosexual couples adopt to molest their adopted children. This is a red herring (in that heterosexual couples and single parents may also adopt to molest) and it's also a calculated statement designed to boost your ratings amongst a small segment of your constituents, damn the consequences.

God does not condone hate, picking-and-choosing-of-Bible-Verses (or even the concept of such verses in and of themselves), or use of religion for political or monetary gain. As you may see, I consider the vast majority of my fellow Christians to be misguided, and I am extremely insulted at your bigoted comments aimed squarely at inflaming emotions amongst same. In my experience, when a fundamentalist says something inflammatory, PEOPLE GET HURT. Are you trying to goad some nutjob into hurting an innocent person just because he or she is gay?

Think about it, and, in time, may you repent and see God's true grace.

Peace.

Just words?

Just words?

This leads me to believe gay rights are a perpetual struggle, but we can afford the words, the action, and the eternal vigilance needed to keep our hard-won freedom. Each time hate comes to light, it is a Victory. Every time we convince the government to recognize us as equal even if in a narrow legal context, it is a Victory. However we must not fall to the Victory Disease and grow complacent or arrogant, for we will all lose the War. We must not fall asleep at the watch if we know and appreciate the cost of anger, hate, and suffering we will pay if we lose our freedom.

Liberty or Death, these are the stakes.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKlahomo!

Where the phobia comes sweeping 'cross the plains!

Seriously, Oklamahoma has one of the most recognizable musicals ever fucking written based on it. There should be a a federal law that says people from oklahoma are never, EVER allowed to say shit about gays. Double penilties if they're from Oklamahoma and have ever played a role in the musical.

But seriously, Einey... A midwestern republican homophobe isn't exactly news, dude. YOu say to me "there's a homophobic republitard in Oklahoma" and I'm going to ask "Which one? You just described at least three-quarters of the population".

But it's true! Homosexuals are destroying America! Haven't you seen the Lewis Black bit about the Gay Banditos? They are destroying the country, one wholesome American family at a time.

This woman needs to be out of a decision making position as fast as possible. But she won't be, because unfortunately she accurately represents her constituents.

Between the Axis of Evil, the Elders of Zion, the Great Atheist Conspiracy and now the Homosexual Agenda, America is doomed. DOOMED!

Remember all those sci-fi stories depicting the 21st century as the dawn of an enlightened era? Now we're here, and the world is still full of gormless, moronic crackpots like this one.
Do these people have bets to see who can make the most retarded statement of the year?

Just like not all religions are equal.

Mayhap someone ought to inform her of that awful, un-American First Amendment...

Pablo Sanchez · Post by **Pablo Sanchez** » 2008-03-13 01:53pm

I think her statement is probably based on the belief that "the gays" want to convert all Americans to also be gay, which would result in everybody dying of AIDs without having children and then God destroying whatever was left like he did Sodom and Gomorrah. If you're batshit insane in that specific way, it's hard to name a more serious threat to America than the gay illuminati.

I also like her "facts" which are of course backed up by nothing.
Also even if there are more suicides among gays, does it not occur to this blithering moron that this would be because of repressive, bigoted and vindictive creeps like her making them feel sub-human?

Tanasinn · Post by **Tanasinn** » 2008-03-13 02:04pm

I was going to ask how long she recanted and claimed to have "many gay friends," but I forgot politicans could get away with this.

Hearing stuff like this boggles my mind. Not so much that people believe this crap -- I already knew that -- but to come out in public and actually say this stuff to other people...I don't understand it. Is it a failure of my imagination, or just my experience?

No shit, I've met motherfuckers down here in the South that actually believe you can catch "gay" like it was the flu or something. The kind of people that pronounce it "Ho Mo Sex You All".

You know... Morons.

Well I just keep seeing those folks from the dark ages keep perpetuating their myths and hatred...

wonder how long before they start pressing people or start suggesting that a judas stool is an appropreate stress position for enhanced interrogation?

Beat me to it. It's funny how the homophobic/anti-gay/etc types point to increased suicide and depression et al as part of the reasons why homosexuality is bad, yet don't make the corrolation that their bigotry and intolerance is what drives a good many gays and lesbians to that point.

Especially when they are in High School, you've got the usual adolecent confusion, combined with violent bigotry including physical assualts, rapes, and other forms of mind fuck abuse. And that's just from my memories of the few Lesbians that were out when I was in high school 20 years ago....

Her wikipedia profile says:

Kern also made headlines for authorizing a bill, which recently passed the Oklahoma House of Representatives, mandating that students who espouse Young Earth creationism still receive passing grades in Earth science classes.[10][11]

Unbelievable.

Abuse? They should just take it like a man.

And yes I have seen this actual response by a Christian bigot in letters to the editor. Funnily enough he whined because several other letters referred to certain Christian views as from "the dark ages". Now one would expect him to be offended by such statements, but he went so far as to tell others to stop using that phrase (presumably he thought it crossed the line). Strangely he doesn't seem to apply that to the abuse homosexuals receive.

Its pretty obvious Christians conservatives have blatant double standards and cannot see it.

Reminds me of the Top Gear US road trip where they entered Alabama and were nearly lynched, especially considering Hammond had his pick up truck painted with "Man love rules ok" on the side. Clarkson later commented after being chased by 'the boys', that he was convinced in some places the inhabitants were breeding with vegetables.

Well, I guess it's about the same reaction yuou'd get if a bunch of Americans went tear-assing around the UK with shit written on their vehicle meant to intentionally piss off the locals.

Though I will says that the Top Gear guy's are kinda pussies in that episode. They stayed on interstates and major highways the entire time and act like they've been in the backwoods of the Deep South. If those guys had gone out into the wilds of any number of backwater asshole counties I can name in just this state, I doubt if they'd have made it back out. Double that if they'd have tried that shit in parts of Mississippi or Louisiana. Dem der gators be eatin' well after dey got done making dem movin' pictures, boudreau.

Usually I like Top Gear, but I wouldn't have felt a bit of pity for them if they had gotten their asses beaten over that. "Let's drive around with crap written on our cars that we know will piss people off and then act as if it's all their fault for anything that happens!" Fucking idiots.

Quite frankly, I can't imagine anything one could paint onto a car that would get people killed over here. Now, this could be that I don't have that whole 'life experience' thing I've heard about, but I seriously can't imagine such a thing.

Seriously, it sounds like the kind of generalisation that christian apologists are so fond of; 'other religions would do the same if they had the chance'.

I suppose I'm literally asking you guys to destroy what little faith I have left in humanity.

Ahem "Manchester United Sucks" or any other local Soccer team then drive around the area. The don't call them hooligans because they don't care.

I couldn't make out what they wrote on the first car. I saw the "Hillary for President" one and the "Man Love Rules" one and the "NASCAR Sucks" one, but I couldn't make out the first car. "<something> Rubbish" is all I saw.

Anyway, it's pretty sad that in redneckland, it is considered a reasonable provocation to violence to say that you're gay, or that you want Hillary for president, or that NASCAR sucks.

Mike, the first car says "Country and Western is rubbish".
