The Gaytheist Agenda

I wish this was a joke but it isn’t. An Oklahoma Baptist church used a $800 semiautomatic rifle as a means to lure teens to church.

…..
Windsor Hills Baptist had planned to give away a semiautomatic assault rifle until one of the event’s organizers was unable to attend.

The church’s youth pastor, Bob Ross, said it’s a way of trying to encourage young people to attend the event. The church expected hundreds of teenagers from as far away as Canada.
…..
A video on the church Web site shows the shooting competition from last year’s conference. A gun giveaway was part of the event last year. This year, organizers included it in their marketing.
…..
Friday evening, Ross said the gun giveaway had been canceled. Pastor emeritus Jim Vineyard, who ran the event, injured his foot and wouldn’t be able to attend. The gun giveaway was also removed from the church Web site.

Ross said the church would give the gun away next year instead. He said the church spent $800 buying the gun for the promotion.

First of all, if people are so opposed to coming to church that you have to bribe them with $800 assault rifles then you should just give it up. They’re not coming for the church, they’re coming because they want the rifle.

And don’t even get me started on how insane it is for a church to be handing out deadly weapons to children. Of course these are the same teens that, according to the RRRRW, can’t be told about condoms or get the HPV vaccine because it will make them promiscuous. But apparently they can be trusted with semiautomatic weapons. At least I live nowhere near Oklahoma.

 

As if she hadn’t already had enough free speech when she spewed homophobic hate speech against LGBTs during a political speech, then again when CWA gave her free airtime to do it again. She now apparently needs another platform to parade her hate because LGBT people have had the audacity to speak up in their own defense. Shame on them!

WASHINGTON, March 31 /Christian Newswire/ — On Wednesday, April 2, Concerned Women for America (CWA) will join over 50 pastors in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to rally support for State Representative Sally Kern (R-Oklahoma City) and her right to free speech. Recently, Rep. Kern has been under attack from radical homosexual activists and their followers over remarks she made regarding the homosexual agenda. Rep. Kern took a Biblical stand against homosexual activism and has refused to back down from her statements despite receiving death threats.

Event Details —

What: Free Speech Rally for State Representative Sally Kern

When: Wednesday, April 2; 12:00pm Noon

Where: Rotunda of the Oklahoma State Building; 2300 N. Lincoln Blvd., Oklahoma City Oklahoma

CWA applauds Rep. Kern for continuing to be steadfast and resolute in this fight against the homosexual agenda and for shedding light on the threat it poses to our nation. Rep. Kern has been quoted as saying that the homosexual agenda is dangerous “because it destroys the basic moral fiber of this nation, which is traditional marriage and the traditional family.” She couldn’t be more right.

Matt Barber, CWA’s Policy Director for Cultural Issues, said, “There are certainly those who hate Rep. Kern. They’ve made that perfectly clear with vicious personal attacks and even death threats. But millions of Americans proudly stand alongside Sally Kern and say, ‘Thank you. Thank you for boldly standing your ground and for unapologetically defending Biblical Truth.’ They intended to make an example of her. They have, but not in the way they had hoped. She has set an example for millions of believers around the world. Her courage and refusal to deviate from God’s unequivocal condemnation of sexual immorality is serving to galvanize and embolden others. People say, ‘Well Sally Kern wasn’t intimidated, why should I be?’”

CWA of Oklahoma State Director, Linda Caswell, said “Rep. Kern has exercised her right to free speech and has spoken boldly about the effects of homosexuality on our families and on our nation. We strongly encourage everyone to come to the rally and show your support for Rep. Kern. Let others know that we will not back down from taking a Biblical stand on the moral issues facing our state and our nation today.”

Biblical stand on the moral issues facing our nation? I don’t suppose that means that CWA is going to come out anytime soon with a plan to fight poverty. After all the Bible has more than 100 verses admonishing it’s readers to help the poor, so I’d think CWA would be aware of the moral issue of poverty in America. Then again, poverty has nothing to do with the genitals of other people and doesn’t involve hating others while feeling morally superior but rather actual work and sacrifice so it’s highly unlikely they do.

Nonetheless I notice time and time again how they’re always “speaking the Biblical truth” when they call us the most heinous and hateful names, spread outright lies about us, and call for us to be treated like second-class (or worse) citizens. But when we take them to task for what they’ve said and demand our rights we’re engaging in “hate-speech”. Maybe if we threw a few Bible verses in it would change things. How about I try that (it may work even for an atheist).

 
Deuteronomy 5:20 You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
1 Thessalonians 4:11 Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you.
Luke 6:31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Matthew 23:13 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either.
Luke 6:37 Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.

 

In closing, I myself would love to attend this “Free Speech Rally” to peacefully make my outrage known but I’m too far away. If anybody in the area is able to do so I’d love to hear about it.

Addendum. A comment has arrived. Ebon said:

“Radical homosexual activists”? Since when does not wanting to be slandered count as “radical”? It seems that too many theocrats forget that the right to freedom of speech includes the right to response.

Oh dear, perhaps you aren’t familiar with the terminology (wink, wink). Christians are speaking The Truth, the Word of God, the Gospel and the Biblical Truth (or some other such variation). Gays are Advancing The Homosexual Agenda. Any time gays ask for whatever everybody else has they are demanding “special rights”. Christians are protecting their way of life, the Traditional Family/Traditional Marriage/The Heartland etc and do so by Spreading the Gospel/Word of God. Gays are Militant Homosexuals trying to force their ways on others through Indoctrination and other scary-sounding things.

Isn’t it all becoming more clear now? By the way, if you want to read more Alvin McEwin explains the anti-gay liars in depth here and in his most excellent book. Thanks for your comment and continued patronage!

Oklahoma has joined Texas and several other states in the dumbing down of the nation’s students. Our schools are already overburdened and underfunded. But now they’ll have to deal with students squabbling over religion and being bullied by religious zealots who insist on “converting” them to save their immortal souls. Worse yet, is what the bill will mean for the status of education itself.

The bill requires public schools to guarantee students the right to express their religious viewpoints in a public forum, in class, in homework and in other ways without being penalized. If a student’s religious beliefs were in conflict with scientific theory, and the student chose to express those beliefs rather than explain the theory in response to an exam question, the student’s incorrect response would be deemed satisfactory, according to this bill.

The school would be required to reward the student with a good grade, or be considered in violation of the law. Even simple, factual information such as the age of the earth (4.65 billion years) would be subject to the student’s belief, and if the student answered 6,000 years based on his or her religious belief, the school would have to credit it as correct. Science education becomes absurd under such a situation.

So why have tests at all? Might as well just have each student offer their opinions as to what, why and where things are. That would be as valid as anything else under this bill. After all, considering the constraints teachers will now be under they dare not challenge anything a student puts down as an answer or the student could easily come back and claim “religious discrimination”.

If a student chose to take his opportunity to speak to a group of students in a school-sanctioned assembly to tell them they must accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior or go to hell, then that student would have a right to do so, according to this bill. Especially, but not only if the student held a position of honor and authority (class officer, team captain), and was speaking in his or her official capacity, the school has clearly established religion in violation of both the U.S. and Oklahoma constitutions.

Wonderful. Enter all of the evangelists screaming about how the LGBT students, atheists, Muslims, etc, are going to hell, because the Bible says so. Expect the bullying and hate-crime rates to escalate any time now.

The same would be true if the student chose to tell the assembled students that they would not go to hell, that there is no hell and that those who promote belief in hell are liars. What if a Wiccan student chose to tell the assembled students that the only true God is Nature, or a member of a radical religious sect advocated assassination in order to preserve God’s will? According to this bill, those students would be free, in a forum supported by the school, to do so. Any or all of these scenarios would lead to lawsuits.

That would be classified by the Christians as “persecution”, of course, as it always is. Funny how when they cram their beliefs down the throats of other people its “speaking the truth” but when others reject them or speak their own beliefs its “persecution”.

The consequence of the bill will be to create havoc and promote discord in the public schools. That’s already happening in Texas, where the bill has been law for several months. Denton, Texas Independent School District, responding to the law, has decreed that no students may ever speak in assembly, to graduation, to the crowd at an athletic event or in other group function. As reported in The Denton Record Chronicle Sept. 1, the superintendent there said if no students are ever allowed to speak, then there will be no discrimination and no basis for lawsuits. Another school superintendent in Texas said, “… we’re just trying to have school, and I think this is a complicating factor” as reported by Americans United for Separation of Church and State, an organization that has spoken out against the bill.

So they’ve already discovered by experience in Texas that this insane law doesn’t work, yet it’s still being attempted in Oklahoma? Why do the legislators in Oklahoma think the results in Oklahoma will be any different? I can safely say it’s not bloody likely.

This is a foolish bill that will result in chaos, injustices, bullying and a serious downturn in the quality of education. Particularly since it has been proven faulty in another state it’s foolish to try it in Oklahoma. If parents want to send their children to a religious school they have that right. Otherwise the best option for everyone is a secular school where all rights are respected and religion is kept strictly out of the equation.

I received this very eloquent letter from James Nimmo to Sally Kern in my e-mail today and couldn’t resist sharing it with everybody.

Mrs. Kern:

I’ve just listened to the 20-minute interview you had with OKC’s channel 9 in regard to the public speech you made sometime after the first of the year deriding and demeaning Oklahoma’s gay/lesbian taxpaying citizens.

The real danger is not whether being gay/lesbian is more of a threat than terrorism or the Islamic religion. I think the real danger is you as a legislator standing on the soapbox paid for by the taxpayer and denouncing honest, hardworking Oklahomans as inferior to you and your acquaintances.

You keep referring to the home, the family, and traditional marriage as being threatened by gay people who want the same things for their families that you already have. Do you feel there is a shortage of love and commitment and it must be rationed to only people who act and think as you do?

Why are you not introducing bills that would eliminate divorce? Divorce is the opposite of marriage and frequently causes distress to children yet what are you doing about this refutation of traditional marriage?

You couch your diatribes in terms of the First Amendment guarantee of free speech but you fail to back them up with specific references to peer-reviewed studies or professionally-qualified experts.

I feel this is the equivalent of yelling fire in a crowded theater.

Yes, you can say these things, but as a legislator you owe to your constituents as well as those hearing you to base your remarks on facts and not your superstitions.

James Nimmo
Oklahoma City, OK

Thank you so much, James, for sending your letter to me. I couldn’t have said it any better than you did. Best wishes to you and keep fighting the good fight!

Oklahoma Representative Sally Kern’s anti-gay rant has been very much in the news lately. She continued to defend her hate speech, claiming it was merely the “Biblical truth”. But when given the chance to share her “Biblical truth” with people of the LGBT community (including members of her own constituency) who visited the Capitol on Tuesday, Sally was nowhere to be found.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - An Oklahoma lawmaker rejected demands by gay and lesbian groups on Tuesday that she apologize for anti-gay remarks in which she said homosexuality poses a bigger threat to the U.S. than terrorism.

“I see no reason to apologize for what God says, that homosexuality is a sin,” Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City, said after 300 people rallied at the state Capitol and called for an end to hate speech.

“I will not apologize. I did not say anything false. I did not say anything malicious or hateful,” Kern said. “They are trying to vilify me. That is their tactics.”

Sally said a lot more than “God says homosexuality is a sin” and she knows it. This tactic of saying dozens of hateful lies then trying to claim you merely quoted one or two Bible verses to pretend you’re being persecuted for one’s faith is disingenuous at best. But it works, so they keep using it.

And Sally is not the one being vilified here. She isn’t the one that was identified as “worse than terrorists”, compared to pedophiles and made out to be destroyers of civilizations. So she needs to stop playing the martyr.

Spokespersons for gay and lesbian groups demanded that Kern apologize while calling on the Legislature to adopt hate crimes legislation that would enhance penalties for crimes directed at gays and lesbians.

“Hateful speech leads to hate crimes,” said Rob Howard, executive director of the Cimarron Alliance Foundation in Oklahoma City. Howard said there were more than 7,700 hate crimes in the nation in 2006, including 79 in Oklahoma.

Howard and other speakers questioned how Kern can take an oath to uphold the state Constitution but then condemn a segment of the state’s population.

“Freedom of speech does not belong to Representative Kern alone,” said Howard, adding that gay and lesbian groups have a “moral imperative” to speak out against her remarks.

“If we do not condemn hate speech from an elected public official, we in effect endorse it,” said the Rev. Robin Meyers, pastor of the Mayflower United Church of Christ in Oklahoma City. “This represents the state of Oklahoma in a way that is deeply offensive.”

I doubt Sally Kern will ever recognize what she said as hate speech. No doubt she’ll keep defending it as “the truth” as stated in her Bible. But what she said was hate speech, and the fact that she said it in her capacity as an elected official gives the words that much more power. She should be doubly ashamed for what she has said, and for defending herself in the way she has.

Members of the group had planned to invite Kern to the noon rally but were told she had already left the Capitol. No state lawmaker attended the rally.

Kern said she was pleased that gay and lesbian groups expressed their views.

“That’s great they came to the Capitol. This is a free country. They’re exercising their First Amendment right,” Kern said.

But she said she was not interested in speaking to members of the group. She said she has received more than 30,000 e-mails about her comments, including some threatening ones, and that an activist had tried to intimidate her husband, a Baptist minister, by showing up at his church on Sunday.

“They’re sending out letters and making calls in my district. And they really want me to come down and talk to them?” Kern said. “It would be like throwing myself to the lions. That’s a metaphor.

“When I am wrong, and it is brought to my attention, I will apologize.”

If she feels she is so justified in her words then why doesn’t she have the spine to stand there and back them up to the people she have harmed with them? I guess it’s only safe to make hateful statements like that in the safety of a closed room when she knows she’s among other bigots like herself. But if one is going to hold public office, one needs to have the spine to stand up for what one says against opposing opinion. It appears Sally the coward doesn’t have that. No surprise. Bullies typically don’t.

Sally Kern, the Representative from Oklahoma, has been in the news for weeks for her virulently homophobic rant that hit YouTube and has spawned a firestorm of reaction. It appears, now, that she has a counterpart in North Carolina. Mary Frances Forrester, wife of state Senator James Forrester (R-Gaston County), has penned a hate-filled, factually inaccurate opinion piece for the radical Right-wing Christian Action League website.

 

The piece, written by Mary Frances Forrester, the wife of Sen. James Forrester (R-Gaston County), was published Feb. 29, but it took me quite a bit of time to sift through information on some of the topics she addressed. I was going to make a rebuttal to Mrs. Forrester’s op-ed the focus of my next Q-Notes editorial, but repeated attempts to contact Mrs. Forrester failed. Because I could never get in touch with her to get a list of sources she used in constructing her op-ed, I didn’t feel comfortable writing on it for the paper.

Her piece begins with an excerpt from the Feb. 15, 1987 issue of the now-defunct Gay Community News (Forrester inaccurately dates the excerpt to 1986):

We shall sodomize your sons…We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms…in your youth groups…Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding…They will come to crave and adore us. All laws banning homosexual activity will be revoked. Instead legislation shall be passed which engenders love between men. Our writers and artists will make love between men fashionable…We shall raise private armies…to defeat you. The family unit will be abolished. Perfect boys will be conceived and grown in the genetic laboratory…All churches who condemn us will be closed. Our only gods are handsome young men. All males who insist on remaining stupidly heterosexual will be tried in homosexual courts of justice and will become invisible men. Tremble, hetero swine, when we appear before you without our masks.

The piece was originally written by Michael Swift, although Mrs. Forrester mistakenly attributes the piece to “Mark Swift.” Unfortunately, there isn’t much information available on Swift’s original intent, save for the plethora of comments on his words from the anti-gay radical right. I contacted friends and colleagues to get more information about the writing.

I was eventually able to get hold of the original text. Mrs. Forrester conveniently leaves off the beginning of Swift’s original piece:

This essay is an outré, madness, a tragic, cruel fantasy, an eruption of inner rage, on how the oppressed desperately dream of being the oppressor.

Outré — defined as “violating convention or propriety.”

The best use of outré in this instance, however, is found in the word’s French origin: “to go beyond, carry to excess;” also, to exaggerate.

As friends have told me, Swift’s piece is a “tongue-in-cheek with righteous anger reply to the homophobes,” or “very high satire — not humor, exactly, but certainly a piece of extreme and even melodramatic expression of frustration, anger and had-it-ness by the author.”

Further, some have told me they believe “Michael Swift” to be a nom-de-plume. “I believe that the author was riffing on work of Jonathan Swift, thus his choice of last name,” a colleague said.

The answers on why Mrs. Forrester conveniently left out any mention of Swift’s outré or why she inaccurately attributed the piece to another person will unfortunately go unanswered, since she has chosen not to respond to requests for comment and refused to release her sources.

Perhaps her greatest factually inaccurate and intellectually dishonest statements are her use of “statistics” on the lifespan of gay and lesbian people. She writes:

Did you know that the average life span of a homosexual is 39 years as opposed to 78 for heterosexual women and 76 for heterosexual men?

What the great senator’s wife neglects to tell readers is that her statistics come from the debunked and APA-booted “Doctor” Paul Cameron. His lifespan “studies” have been proven to be methodically inaccurate and skewed. But Mrs. Forrester’s intellectual dishonesty doesn’t stop at where she gets her statistics from, or her failure to properly cite them. In her op-ed, Mrs. Forrester actually twists the twisted study from which she received her numbers.

Citing Paul Cameron. Anybody in the know recognizes him as the thoroughly debunked pseudo-scientist who was ousted from the APA for his blatantly homophobic and inaccurate work. But that doesn’t stop the RRRW from citing his “studies” continuously because they’re not concerned with facts, just propaganda.

It turns out that Mary is a Certified Cameronite per Box Turtle Bulletin, for her persistent use of the discredited research of Holocaust denier Paul Cameron. Mary has been very bad indeed.

Cameron’s shoddy “study” actually said this:

“Social psychologist Paul Cameron compared over 6,200 obituaries from homosexual magazines and tabloids to a comparable number of obituaries from major American newspapers. He found that while the median age of death of married American males was 75, for sexually active homo-sexual American males it was 42. For homosexual males infected with the AIDS virus, it was 39. While 80 percent of married American men lived to 65 or older, less than two percent of the homosexual men covered in the survey lived as long.” (Claremont Institute)

…..

Aside from her dishonest use of Cameron’s studies, Mrs. Forrester’s final factually inaccurate statement is perhaps among some of the most quoted rhetorical lines from the radical right. She writes:

Read your social history and you will find that most societies that condoned homosexual behavior did not survive past one generation.

Her claim smacks of ignorance. In fact, I’m quite embarrassed the comment was made by the wife of a state senator (from my own state, no less). Why does she get to represent the outcome of the Old North State’s educational system?

Rome and Greece both came to accept same-sex sexual relations in some way or another. Both empires survived for centuries afterwards. If there is anyone who does need to read her social history, it might very well be Mrs. Forrester.

Rome and Greece didn’t fall because of the presence of homosexuality. Like all large empires, Rome and Greece saw their time come and go, and then fade into the pages of history. England, Spain, France and other European nations have seen their empires rise and fall in history’s continual ebb and flow of the ages. America will do the same, and after our empire falls, another will surely rise to take our place. This is the nature of human history, and it has nothing to do with homosexuality.

I’m not surprised Mrs. Forrester used factually inaccurate information to pen her piece for the Christian Action League — after all, the radical Right is famous for their twisting of facts and figures. I am disappointed, though. Far too often the Right uses distortions, lies and exaggerations to bully their way into people’s emotions. For some reason or another, I think I would have expected better from the wife of a North Carolina legislator. If there is one thing North Carolinians don’t like, it is state leaders who use corruption and lies to grapple for power and influence.

Unfortunately, I doubt she cares what I think and I know her husband doesn’t. I guess nothing — not even lowering themselves by using distortions and lies — gets in the way of their agenda.

Wow, except for the “gays are worse than terrorists” that reads almost exactly like Sally Kern’s diatribe. I wonder if they have the same speech writer. But then again, look at this:

Note: Mary Frances Forrester is the former director of Concerned Women for America of North Carolina. She currently serves as their legislative liaison and media coordinator.

That explains a lot. Concerned Women of America is well-known for instilling it’s members with propaganda and utter falsehoods about the LGBT community so they can go forth and engender homophobia in the rest of America.

Maybe these women could take up knitting, gardening, reading or some other hobby. Then they wouldn’t be so bored as to be obsessed over what gay people are doing in their bedrooms. Sadly I don’t see it happening any time in the near future.

I happened by this powerful response to Sally’s recent hateful rant and thought I’d share it with you. If nothing else, maybe the eyes of a single homophobe will be opened.

If you desire, you can go here and listen to Sally defend her rabid rant with Matt Barber, Concerned Windbags Women for America’s Policy Director for Cultural Issues. (I still can’t figure out why there are so many men in that organization.) Then Matt and Peter LaBarbera–that guy who likes to run around and film naked men at the Folsom Street Fair every year–cluck about how evil and mean those gays are for defending themselves against Sally’s bile.

Finally, Shep was kind enough to bring this to my attention via e-mail. It’s posted at Dispatches From the Culture Wars, and was originally found at Pam’s House Blend.

Rep Kern:

On April 19, 1995, in Oklahoma City a terrorist detonated a bomb that killed my mother and 167 others. 19 children died that day. Had I not had the chicken pox that day, the body count would’ve likely have included one more. Over 800 other Oklahomans were injured that day and many of those still suffer through their permanent wounds.

That terrorist was neither a homosexual or was he involved in Islam. He was an extremist Christian forcing his views through a body count. He held his beliefs and made those who didn’t live up to them pay with their lives.

As you were not a resident of Oklahoma on that day, it could be explained why you so carelessly chose words saying that the homosexual agenda is worst than terrorism. I can most certainly tell you through my own experience that is not true. I am sure there are many people in your voting district that laid a loved one to death after the terrorist attack on Oklahoma City. I kind of doubt you’ll find one of them that will agree with you.

I was five years old when my mother died. I remember what a beautiful, wise, and remarkable woman she was. I miss her. Your harsh words and misguided beliefs brought me to tears, because you told me that my mother’s killer was a better person than a group of people that are seeking safety and tolerance for themselves.

As someone left motherless and victimized by terrorists, I say to you very clearly you are absolutely wrong.

You represent a district in Oklahoma City and you very coldly express a lack of love, sympathy or understanding for what they’ve been through. Can I ask if you might have chosen wiser words were you a real Oklahoman that was here to share the suffering with Oklahoma City? Might your heart be a bit less cold had you been around to see the small bodies of children being pulled out of rubble and carried away by weeping firemen?

I’ve spent 12 years in Oklahoma public schools and never once have I had anyone try to force a gay agenda on me. I have seen, however, many gay students beat up and there’s never a day in school that has went by when I haven’t heard the word **** slung at someone. I’ve been called gay slurs many times and they hurt and I am not even gay so I can just imagine how a real gay person feels. You were a school teacher and you have seen those things too. How could you care so little about the suffering of some of your students?

Let me tell you the result of your words in my school. Every openly gay and suspected gay in the school were having to walk together Monday for protection. They looked scared. They’ve already experienced enough hate and now your words gave other students even more motivation to sneer at them and call them names. Afterall, you are a teacher and a lawmaker, many young people have taken your words to heart. That happens when you assume a role of responsibility in your community. I seriously think before this week ends that some kids here will be going home bruised and bloody because of what you said.

I wish you could’ve met my mom. Maybe she could’ve guided you in how a real Christian should be acting and speaking.

I have not had a mother for nearly 13 years now and wonder if there were fewer people like you around, people with more love and tolerance in their hearts instead of strife, if my mom would be here to watch me graduate from high school this spring. Now she won’t be there. So I’ll be packing my things and leaving Oklahoma to go to college elsewhere and one day be a writer and I have no intentions to ever return here. I have no doubt that people like you will incite crazy people to build more bombs and kill more people again. I don’t want to be here for that. I just can’t go through that again.

You may just see me as a kid, but let me try to teach you something. The old saying is sticks and stones will break your bones, but words will never hurt you. Well, your words hurt me. Your words disrespected the memory of my mom. Your words can cause others to pick up sticks and stones and hurt others.

Sincerely

Tucker

I wonder if Sally Kern will have the nerve to respond to that letter. I doubt she will, however, as she is little more than a hateful coward with power and a big mouth.

Republican Representative Sally Kern (OK) went on quite a tirade when she thought she was being heard only by an audience of 50 like-minded individuals. Little did she know that her vitriolic homophobic rant would be heard far and wide.

Can you say “Delusional homophobic whackjob”? I knew you could. If you wish to contact Representative Kern to let her know how you feel about her hate-speech you can send an e-mail to her at
sallykern@okhouse.gov . I’m sure she would enjoy hearing from you.
