Oklahoma Legislator Under Attack
Sally Kern, a state legislator in Oklahoma, recently gave a speech that discussed some issues that raised the ire of those who support the homosexual agenda. A pro-homosexual activist recorded the speech and after editing it, posted the redacted version on a website. The result has been a firestorm of protest from homosexual publications, blogs, and activist groups.
In the speech, given privately to a group of about 50 Republicans, Kern says homosexuality, "according to God's word, that is not the right kind of lifestyle. It has deadly consequences for those people involved in it."
Kern emphasized that she was not "gay-bashing," but presented reliable statistics from government sources that show that homosexuals "have more suicides… there's more illness, their life spans are shorter… studies show that no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than, you know, a few decades."
Kern also pointed out the announced goals of homosexual activists, which she called a "gay agenda", including efforts to "indoctrinate" children as young as 2-years-old through tolerance education and gay-straight alliances. These efforts have been successful in a growing number of school districts and state legislatures across the nation. "This stuff—it's deadly," Kern says, "and it's spreading, and it will destroy our young people. It will destroy this nation."
Since the message was posted, Kern has received well over 20,000 e-mails attacking her position, and attacking her personally, calling her a "homophobe"--one of the milder terms chosen--and even suggesting that her autistic son is "gay". The news media has gone along with these claims, rather than checking the facts before confronting her with the question, "Is your son gay?". Now there are calls for her resignation, and homosexual activists are planning protest rallies at the Oklahoma State Capitol.
Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry apparently has gone along with those attacking Kern, instead of defending her First Amendment free speech right to express her views.
