To quote directly from gay blogger angry_biscuit, because we couldn't say it any better:

What you're about to hear is a portion of a jaw-dropping speech delivered by Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern at a gathering in her district.



A few choice quotes from Representative Kern: Studies show, no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted for more than, you know, a few decades . . . They are going after our young children, as young as two years of age, to try to teach them that the homosexual lifestyle is an acceptable lifestyle . . . One of my colleagues said We don't have a gay problem in our community ... well you know what, that is so dumb. If you have cancer in your little toe, do you just say that I'm going to forget about it since the rest of you is fine? It spreads! This stuff is deadly and it is spreading. It will destroy our young people and it will destroy this nation.

This is what they say when they think we're not listening.

This isn't Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Fred Phelps, or John Hagee. This isn't Rod Parsley, Osama Bin Laden, Adolf Hitler, or Fox News - this is an elected official. One whose influence is felt and held by a constituency, one who is active in the politics old hysteria and division.

Note: And you all will be horrified to learn the person sits on the Education Committee in the Oklahoma legislature (Edit) AND we are further dismayed to report this person used to be a teacher!!! Imagine having THAT person who was harboring those ignorant and hateful thoughts teaching your child (or to you and your sisters and brothers for that matter). Ick, just ick.

Please visit www.victoryfund.org/listening and add your name to the growing list of people who are listening to this noxious propaganda, but are not buying it. Currently there are only 2100+ 166,681 people numbered, and that number needs to go up - WAY up.

Also even if you are not in her district (or her state or even country) you may wish e-mail Representative Kern (sallykern@okhouse.gov) or phone her office at (405) 557-7348 and (in a polite and civilized fashion please) her know how you feel about hate speech.



For those who need it, here is a partial transcript supplied gratis as a service to the community by theparkonpiano in gsa_lj an involved GSA (Gay–straight alliance) member. We ask that people take special note that Representative Kern went out of her way to attack GSA, which in a way is a back-handed complement for the great work they do.

The homosexual agenda is destroying this nation. Okay? It's just a fact. Not everybody's lifestyle is equal. Just like not all religions are equal. You know, the very fact that I'm talking to you like this, here, today, puts me in jeopardy. Okay?

Uh, 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 in it, it has more suicides, there's uh, more discouraged, there's more illness, their lifespans are shorter, just – you know. It's not a lifestyle that is good for this nation. Studies show that no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than, you know, a few decades. So, it's the death meal (?) in this country. I honestly think it's the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam, which I think is a big threat.

Because what's happening now, is they're going after them in schools! Two year olds! You know what they're trying to get into early childhood education? They want to get our young children into the governments schools so they can indoctrinate them. I taught school for close to twenty (20) years, and we're not teaching facts and knowledge anymore, folks. We're teaching indoctrination. Okay? And they're going after our young children, as young as two (2) years of age, to try to teach them that the homosexual lifestyle is an acceptable lifestyle.

You know, gays are infiltrating city councils! [words are spoken here, but I can't understand her] Did you know that Eureka Springs is now controlled by gays? Okay? Uh, there are some others. Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, Takoma, Maryland, Oregon, West Palm Beach, Florida, a lot of other places in Florida. What's happening is they are winning elections.

One of the things I deal with in our legislature is I tried to introduce a bill last year that would uh, school would have to notify parents what clubs their students were involved in. And the reason I did that bill, primarily was this. They had the Gay Straight Alliance coming into our schools.

Kids are getting involved in these groups, their lives are being ruined, and their parents don't know about it. So I introduced the bill you have to notify all clubs and things and a colleague of mine said, “You know, we don't have a gay problem in my school, that's why I'm going against that bill.”

Well, you know what that is so dumb. You know, if you got cancer in your little . . . toe, you don't say, “I'm going to forget about it because the rest of me is fine!” It spreads, okay, and this stuff is deadly, and it is spreading and it will destroy our young people and it will destroy this nation.
