Gays Worse Than Terrorists - Gay Bashing Backlash
Sally Kern's beliefs about gays pervasive through Oklahoma?
There are a lot of places in the US I adore - San Francisco, Amelia Island in Florida, New York City. But after hearing Sally Kern's gay-bashing and learning that this isn't the first time she publicly shared her thoughts on gay lifestyle, Oklahoma isn't so high on my list.
Gay-Bashing BacklashIn an exclusive interview with News9.com in Oklahoma, Rep. Kern said no one should be surprised by her comments because she's made similar ones in the past. "I'm not gay bashing, but according to God's word that is not the right kind of lifestyle," she said. "It has deadly consequences."
And she's disappointed that someone tapped her without her knowledge or consent. We're disappointed you said those things in the first place, Ms. Kern.
See for yourself on this YouTube Video. Does Kern deserve the public lynching she's getting right now?
Karen Parsons, an Oklahoma activist says the whole incident is an embarrassment to Oklahoma. "Hate speech has such negative consequences," said Parsons. "She's a legislative leader and people pick up on her words and they take them to be the truth."
Hopefully, in this case, Oklahoma will work hard to repair their tainted reputation.
What do you think about the whole episode? Do you think Kern's beliefs are held throughout Oklahoma?
