Sally Kern rambling about gay people

Oh dear god. I just heard Sally Kern, a member of the Oklahoma state house of representatives, going crazy over gay people. But really, insanely crazy. She’s actually comparing us to cancer and terrorists. If it wasn’t so sad, it would be funny. Watch the video here. As her articulation isn’t perfect, I wrote down what I could understand, because it would be too bad that you wouldn’t know what she said because of the bad sound quality. It’s really worth the effort… Please feel free to fill up the gaps or to send me corrections. Here’s what she said as far as I could understand, literally:

“The homosexual agenda is destroying this nation, ok? It’ just a fact. Not everybody’s lifestyle is equal, just like not all religions are equal. The very fact that I’m talking to you today like this, is because we are in jeopardy ok? I’m not anti, I’m not gay bashing, but according to gods word, that’s not the right kind of lifestyle, it has deadly consequences for those people involved in it, they have more suicides, they are more discouraged, there’s more illness, their lifespans are shorter, you know. It is not a lifestyle that is good for this nation, as a matter of fact, stats show that no society that has totally embraced homosexuality, has lasted more than, you know, a few decades. It’s the death meal for this country. I honestly think it’s the biggest threat our nation has, even more so then terrorism or Islam. Because what’s happening know, they’re going after, in schools, 2 year olds! You know why they are trying to get early childhood education? They want to get our young children into the government schools so they can (?) them. (?) We are not teaching facts and knowledge anymore folks, we are teaching indoctrination, ok? And they are going after our young children, as young as 2 years of age, to try to teach them that homosexual lifestyle is an acceptable lifestyle. You know, gays are infiltrating city councils. (?) Have you heard that the city council of (?)’s friends is now controlled by gays? There are some others (?), a lot of other places in Florida, what’s happening, and they are winning elections. One of the things I deal with in our legislation, I tried to introduce a bill last year, that schools had to let to know the parents what clubs their students were involved in. And the reason I did that is that bill primarly was this, we had the gay straight alliance coming in to our schools, kids are getting involved in this groups, their lifes are being ruined, and their parents don’t know about it. So I introduced it so they have to let to know the parents all clubs they are involved in. and one of my colleagues said, you know, we don’t have a gay problem in (?), so that’s why I voted against that bill. And you know what, to me that is so dumb. If you’ve got cancer or something in your little toe, do you say “I’m just going to forget about it because the rest of you is fine”? It spreads! And this stuff, it’s deadly and it’s spreading and it will destroy our young people and it will destroy our nation.”

I would love to discuss this word by word, but I’ll stick to the most horrifying parts.

1: She says we are not all equal

2: “I’m not anti, I’m not gay bashing” This is just funny

3: “It has deadly consequences for those people involved in it, they have more suicides, they are more discouraged, there’s more illness, their lifespans are shorter, you know.” Yes, we do know. Do we get discouraged? Do we commit suicide more often? Why would we do that? In such a warm, welcoming society as yours? Are you kidding me? It is people like you who are the cause of this! And about shorter lifespans, sure, just read this blog and you’ll find some examples of why some gay people die way too soon…

4: Sally Kern actually believes we are bigger threat then terrorists. Sure.

5: She’s comparing gayness to cancer. What can I say about that? It’s almost as absurd as number 4.
