Last week we told you about Republican Oklahoma State Rep. Sally Kern’s latest anti-gay rant, in which she repeated her infamous three-year-old claim that homosexuality is a bigger threat to the U.S. than terrorism (listen to the audio below).
In response to Kern’s rant, the Human Rights Campaign is asking people to send emails to Oklahoma legislative leaders calling on them to denounce Kern’s statements. So far, the campaign has generated more than 200,000 emails, according to HRC. However, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin and House Speaker Kris Steele — both also Republicans, naturally — have remained silent.
“The silence of Governor Fallin and Oklahoma’s legislative leadership is deafening, particularly given the number of people we now see calling on them to speak out,” HRC President Joe Solmonese said in a press release today. “Enough is enough. Sally Kern has a long track record of outrageously slandering LGBT Americans, ethnic and religious groups, and women. It’s time for Oklahoma’s leaders to stand up to her bigotry and hold her accountable for her remarks.”
Don’t hold your breath, Joe.
It’s because Oklahoma is a “Red State,” and they agree with her. In 2008, Oklahoma was the only state that voted for John McCain in every county. I wonder if she knows that heterosexual people spread HIV/AIDS too.

Someone should tell that witch that homosexuality is as normal as heterosexuality, which of course IT wouldn’t believe it. Lets see her talk about african americans like that, you know she’s a racist, but IT doesn’t have the nerve or backbone to say how she really feels about black people, so IT takes it out on the whipping boy of the social agenda GAYS
‘Mustang’ Sally Kern needs to be put out to pasture, or at least transported back 200 years in history, or sent to join her compatriots, the Taliban and all that backwards, hateful thinking. Sally, stuff it and go away, please!
Maybe the old dog thinks gays are a competition for her, The gay movement cannot and will not be stopped, you can only discriminate against a minority for so long before they strike back and it will be with a vengeance. How long before those right wing, so called christians, understand that people are born gay, not made gay or chose a gay, so called lifestyle.. Kern its about time for you to take your tired old ass out to pasture and start chewing the cud with all the other cows. Oh, have a nice day kern.
