		<description>Haha, I love this kind of crap. Before &quot;Christ&quot; homosexuality wasn&#039;t even a &quot;term&quot;. Before Christ, you had major world leaders, *cough Alexander the Great cough* pursuing other men. Once again, homosexuality wasn&#039;t a term and wasn&#039;t frowned upon. Any history majors know why? Probably most don&#039;t. Man on man was considered just another orgasm, no one cared; especially of those whom were a higher power and would most likely have you beheaded with an outburst expression. Our day and age is a freaking joke, we&#039;ve consumed ourselves upon the revelation of something so infatuating we&#039;ve lost our moral being. We believe in great philosopher&#039;s who didn&#039;t believe in our one, &quot;true&quot; just god, hell we teach them in our schools. Our society is so hypocritical I laugh at people who think they know an argument. Politicians plague this earth and must be dealt with promptly, any action against the US government (I&#039;m from texas and do love the US) is considered an act of terrorism. So, when we took this country from Great Britain, were our actions not deemed terroristic? Thanks Bush, you damn failure. Not to say the bombings of Oklahoma city were just, the man did have a point and lost his life for what he believed in, and what our forefathers did as well; &quot;The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.&quot; - Guess who quoted that morons? I guarantee you, and hope the military doesn&#039;t show up on my doorstep, that if not our generation (I&#039;m twenty-one), the next one WILL rise up against; for these stupid, idiot, religious fanatic, horrible politicians will reap what they have sowed into once was a thriving country. I know I have my shotguns ready...</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-77384&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;understanding&lt;/a&gt;: 

Wow, all I can say is SCARY!!  Besides the obvious stupidity in quoting the bible (which was written by MAN you moron!), calling this article hate is absolutely asinine.  Which would you like to be?  The pot or the kettle?

Sally Kern is no different from Hitler. She&#039;s just on a smaller stage.  She spews hate and anger from an uneducated viewpoint.  Of all her faults, stupidity is probably greatest.

I am a white, male, heterosexual who supports equal rights for all.  Sally has dreamed up her own sick and twisted version of the Constitution where the only rights afforded in this country are those who believe as she does.

I don&#039;t believe in god but I sure do hope that there IS a hell for people like Kern!</description>

		<description>I hope Sally Kern gets caught in some Lesbian sex scandle. I fucking hate her guts and I hope she fucking burns at stake for being a accused witch. What, you didn&#039;t know she was a witch? It&#039;s pretty obvious. I mean, she does have that broomstick sticking out of her big ass.

		<description>I would like for you to know that despite what you have been told....Christians do not hate or abhor gays. Sadly though there are many who profess to be Christians and make a big deal out of showing that they are better than homosexuals. They are not tre Christians or they would not malign gays publicly and blatantly. I myself do not condone homosexuality because it is a direct and blatant violation of the Bible. But I will not hate or belittle those who have conciously chosen this as their lifestyle. God has given man free choice to obey or disobey Him as they please. The Bible says that one sin is no greater than another so those who have sinned in any way (all of us) can not rate themselves one step higher than those who have also sinned in any way (all of us). Know that our Sally Kern does NOT hate you....and she has forgiven those who daily threaten and slander her and her family. Her life has been given over to the LORD God so she knows that they are also threatening and slandering the Most High God. &quot;Vengeance is the LORD&#039;s....&quot; and Mrs. Kern knows and believes this. She is in no way hating on or badmouthing gays despite the carefully edited speeches and remarks that would make it seem so. As to the matter of whether her son is/was gay or not....that&#039;s something that I believe you should investigate further. Im fact...you should talk personally with her son. I think he would be the best source as to uncovering the truth about himself.....don&#039;t you? Lastly, I....along with hundreds of others attended th RALLY FOR SALLY at our STATE CAPITAL. I encourage you to go onto a Republican site and to view the whole, entire, unedited speech.....and then write this article again.....realizing that Sally Kern is not the evil, homophobic, gay disowning mother, wife, senator, and Christian that you would have others belive she was. Be careful what you say, type, blog,assume.....for God is watching every person...observing their every move....and will judge accordingly. I am sorry for any hate that you have felt and I continue to pray for you and yours....that your eyes would be opened to the love, mercy, and unchallenged truth of the one true LORD, the CHRIST JESUS.</description>

		<description>I appreciate your post overall, but why meet the hateful ugliness of people like Sally Kern with more hateful ugliness? From the tone of your post one would almost think that Kern&#039;s son Jesse was the one on trial here.

Kern couches her ugly remarks in Christianity. If her treatment of her son really is what you describe here, she is anything but christian - much less an empathetic human being. But again, why meet ugliness with more ugliness? All this can be put on the table without putting her son - who I expect has not had an easy time of it - through the wringer as well.

The tenor of your remarks about Jesse could almost be construed as, well, homophobic.</description>

		<description>let&#039;s keep our dignity and let jesse keep his

this is a copy of the e-mail i sent to sally upon hearing her horrible hate speech

You bring shame on the name KERN and all who call themselves Christian.
George Kern was a loving, caring, forgiving and accepting man.
His name does not deserve the shame that you bring with your ignorance. 
I&#039;m so very angry about you disgracing the name KERN....
Steve was ADOPTED by a loving man and YOU disgrace the name.
 
I think you deserve every negative consequence of your homophobia...
I also think you&#039;re so ignorant you&#039;ll never understand what you&#039;ve said or who you&#039;ve hurt.
 
You are a disgrace....break it down, Christian, dis-grace!
 
I&#039;m ashamed of you and I regret that we were ever part of the same family. We&#039;ve all pulled some doozies...but your hate speech is unacceptable! EVER!

steve kern&#039;s adoptive father was my beloved stepfather...i&#039;m glad he&#039;s not alive to know what&#039;s happened to jesse. no, not that he&#039;s gay. we knew that when he was a tiny little boy. it was as natural as rain. if he truly is denying that part of his soul i find that is as sad as his homophobe bigotbitch mother.

i&#039;m not a male OR gay...but i love people who are both.

let your love light shine

		<description>Don, Bless your heart for going through all that in Oklahoma.  I know all people are not open to having gay friends or accepting of all gay people and I am truly sorry of your experiance. I was only talking of my experiance in Oklahoma.  I had more attacks from that gay comunity not standing up for themselves and holding each other accountable for our actions.  I just wish more gay people woud live by the morals they were raised with all over this country.  Perhaps we would have more repect from those we think are judging us! 

Good luck in your new city and with the acceptance of your bi-sexual lifestyle.</description>

		<description>Shane -

&quot;Oklahoma is a wonderful place with fantastic people!&quot;

I disagree wholeheartedly.  I&#039;m 27 years old, a civil engineer, a christian and a bisexual (and a masculine enough one that I never HAD to divulge my sexuality).  I lived in Oklahoma for 23 years and when I was finally able to move away, it was the most liberating moment of my life.  Oklahoma is full of bigotted, hateful, violent people.  If they aren&#039;t attacking the gays, they attack the blacks or the mexicans.  If they can&#039;t find anyone to attack, they attack each other.  Case in point...

When I was in 8th grade, I went to a yearly event at school called &quot;See you at the Pole&quot;.  It was an early morning event where students met at the flagpole, formed a huge circle, and prayed to God.  I had been before, several times, but this was the last year I bothered going.  The students couldn&#039;t form a full circle because the Baptists and the Assembly of God kids couldn&#039;t agree on which one of their churches would burn in hell.  That&#039;s right.  And just to be clear, Assembly of God is a form of Pentacostal church... the Pentacostals are an offshoot of Baptists that seperated a few years back.  True story.

Of course, most of the time they can find better targets for their rage.  Such as when the local HS Band Instructor lost his job for being gay... so they could hire a new guy (who, at least to me, was obviously gay) who was married to a woman (I think it was a woman).  Or when I watched a HS senior take a crowbar to the car of a sophmore guy (who was a flag twirler in Band...super gay) in the school parking lot (kid didn&#039;t even get swats with a paddle... being 30 seconds late for class eared 3 swats).

Like I said, I never had to divulge my true self.  So I never truly experienced direct homophobia... but I constantly experienced indirect hate (such as that spewed out by Kern and her ilk).  

Shane, no, Oklahoma is not a good place to live.  Its not a good place to grow up.  It&#039;s a hatefilled place that no person should be forced to be exposed to.  Though there are quite a few good people in Oklahoma, it&#039;s a small percentage when compared against the whole.  Who wants to live in a place where the only people who like you are the ones who think exactly like you do, and look exactly like you do, and go to the EXACT SAME CHURCH (specifically, cause the only good pastor is your pastor) as you do?  Not I said the educated man who moved away.

I sincerely hope Oklahoma and Oklahomans get exactly what they deserve... either in this life, or the next.</description>

<p>&#8220;Oklahoma is a wonderful place with fantastic people!&#8221;</p>
<p>I disagree wholeheartedly.  I&#8217;m 27 years old, a civil engineer, a christian and a bisexual (and a masculine enough one that I never HAD to divulge my sexuality).  I lived in Oklahoma for 23 years and when I was finally able to move away, it was the most liberating moment of my life.  Oklahoma is full of bigotted, hateful, violent people.  If they aren&#8217;t attacking the gays, they attack the blacks or the mexicans.  If they can&#8217;t find anyone to attack, they attack each other.  Case in point&#8230;</p>
<p>When I was in 8th grade, I went to a yearly event at school called &#8220;See you at the Pole&#8221;.  It was an early morning event where students met at the flagpole, formed a huge circle, and prayed to God.  I had been before, several times, but this was the last year I bothered going.  The students couldn&#8217;t form a full circle because the Baptists and the Assembly of God kids couldn&#8217;t agree on which one of their churches would burn in hell.  That&#8217;s right.  And just to be clear, Assembly of God is a form of Pentacostal church&#8230; the Pentacostals are an offshoot of Baptists that seperated a few years back.  True story.</p>
<p>Of course, most of the time they can find better targets for their rage.  Such as when the local HS Band Instructor lost his job for being gay&#8230; so they could hire a new guy (who, at least to me, was obviously gay) who was married to a woman (I think it was a woman).

		<description>Man you homosexuals should check your facts! Kern&#039;s son was 12 years old living in Idaho with then Idaho resident Sally Kern. There evidently is a homosexual with the same name as her son living in Oklahoma, but it isn&#039;t Sally&#039;s son.</description>

		<description>I have to say I moved away from Oklahoma in August 2007.  I lived there for almost 8 years and felt I had a great business and the respect of many people in Oklahoma City.  I owned a business and had many Republican clients and was an &quot;Openly Gay Man&quot; I never had an issue with being gay.  I had many clients that were elected officials and I helped with many of there campaigns. None-of-them had any hate for gay citizens of Oklahoma.  I have to say I left Oklahoma as I had a lack of gay friends with qualities like my own.  I am so embarrassed to have been asked &quot;wow, is that what Oklahoma is like?&quot; now that I do not live there.  I must say NO - Oklahoma is a wonderful place with fantastic people!  I am so sorry the people of Oklahoma are dealing with the words of Sally Kerns.  No matter if she has a gay son or not she is not accepting of gay people in any way - But does not represent the feelings of ANY Oklahomans that I know!  If we are to do her any good we should all send sympathy cards to her for missing out on much of the culture of life that gay people bring into this world.  

Mrs Kerns, I would ask for your resignation from the house of Representatives as it gives the State of Oklahoma a bad name!  I am a gay man and I pay taxes (still paying taxes in Oklahoma) and you ma&#039;am are not doing your job!  I believe as my faithful servant I can ask for your resignation and I AM...</description>

		<description>I am absolutely disgusted and outrage by sally kernâ€™s recent comments regarding homosexual.  
As an Oklahoma Republican state representative, who has taken an oath of office would use her power and promote homophobic hateful, bigoted and un-American views as a way to influence and destroy human life is a travesties.  Her words are a clear indention of her lack of knowledge, education, and experience, using the U.S. constitution and the laws of this nation as a platform to continue the spread of evil ways of thinking, while damaging lives.  

Her threatened ignorance is no different then the entertainment character Don Immus who was fired from CBS in 2007 for speaking his mind on what he thought about a womanâ€™s basketball team.  State representative Sally Kern should be held responsible for her preposterous hateful, racial remarks and her so called freedom of speech she expresses are destructive and hate filled illusion. 

Speech may be free but is not without question or accountability, and will not be used as an excuse for ignorance.  Sally Kern needs to be removed from public office. It is time to establish equal rights and not just talking about the idea.  Separate but not equal, is a contradiction and needs to be confronted.</description>

		<description>As for Jesse Aaron Kern, attached is his bio, and, no, the person arrested for oral sodomy has another middle name.  I can&#039;t imagine the hell this poor guy has already suffered here on earth at the hands of his supposedly &quot;christian&quot; parents.

Jesse Kern 
Jesse has graduated from the College of Metaphysics and moved to Des Moines to direct the School of Metaphysics branch there. He is an energetic presence and loves serving humanity. Jesse&#039;s main passion is music. He uplifts with his voice and original musical compositions and is currently teaching private music lessons. He has provided primary assitance in crafting our Interfaith Church of Metaphysics&#039; hymnal. Jesse is studying in the second cycle of lessons and plans to pursue a Doctorate in Metaphysics and Doctorate of Divinity.

Sally Kern&#039;s son denies reports he is gay

Video: Listen to Sally Kern&#039;s controversial speech.


OKLAHOMA CITY -- The son of a state lawmaker who has condemned homosexuality as a worse threat to the U.S. than &quot;terrorists or Islam&quot; said Friday he wants it known that he is &quot;straight and not gay.&quot;

Jesse Kern, son of Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City, said information purporting that he is gay, which has appeared on several blogs, is damaging to himself and his family.

Kern, 31, said he feels the media has a responsibility to seek out the truth, then report it.

Kern, who said he is affiliated with the Des Moines School of Metaphysics, said that he chooses to be celibate, but he is not homosexual. http://www.som.org/

&quot;First of all, no one&#039;s sexuality is anyone&#039;s business. It is not even my mother&#039;s business,&quot; he said. &quot;I practice celibacy to give to my God,&quot; he said.

Kern said metaphysics helps teach him such things such as concentration, which has helped him keep focused with all the adverse publicity surrounding his mother&#039;s comments.

Kern said his mother&#039;s comments apparently were taken out of context. He has not chosen to listen to the audio version that has been disseminated widely throughout the nation.

Kern&#039;s views differ from those of his mother, although he applauds her for standing up for what she believes, and thanks his parents for his good upbringing. His father is a Baptist minister in Oklahoma City.

He said the purpose of sex is reproduction, and it is the function of the animal body.

&quot;But we are more than animals, and we can use sex for a tool of deep relationship with another person.&quot;

Kern added that what is more important than whether it be a relationship with someone of the same sex, is that there &quot;needs to be honor in any relationship whether it is a straight or gay relationship.&quot;

		<description>I emailed this to the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce yesterday:

As a citizen of Oklahoma, I am terribly embarrassed by the bigoted and defamatory remarks of Ms. Kern which have garnered Oklahoma the national headlines for the past couple of weeks.  How do we think we can compete in a globally-competitive world with such narrow-minded (actually closed-minded) tirades coming from a State Representative elected from our State Capitol???  I am attaching an open letter I have already sent to Ms. Kern, her peers in the Oklahoma House, the Governor and others in our State in hopes that they might mitigate some of the damage she is inflicting upon a significant segment of our citizens.  While her comments may help fill the collection plates in her husband&#039;s church, they will most surely be detrimental to your efforts aimed at attracting and retaining viable economic ventures in Oklahoma in general and in Oklahoma City in particular.  I wish you well in your odds against such a foe who excels in using the name of God to justify her bigotry.

 

 

Representative Kern,

Your comments as aired on the website of Channel 6 make me very sad and disheartened.  I am sad that I wasted so many years teaching medical students in this State to care about ALL of their patients, even the gay ones whom you obviously consider &quot;trash&quot; in our society, and even worse than terrorists or a cancer in our midst.  My approach was (and is) that ALL people deserve to be treated with respect and excellent medical care, regardless of their color, creed, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, and yes, Ms. Kern, even their religious beliefs!  In 29 years of teaching medical physiology to several thousand medical students in 6 states, I endeavored to try and bring out the best in all of them regardless of my own personal beliefs and ethics.  You see, Ms. Kern, your hurtful comments may garner votes for you at the polls, but they destroy the very reason the rest of us work so hard to make our State and our Nation a wonderful place for all to live free of religious bigotry and judgmental statements like you obviously made in a public forum as a public servant.  I also read the unfortunate news of your son&#039;s gay orientation and his subsequent banishment to avoid embarrassment to the family.  I do hope that you will consider some sort of counseling and/or attending a PFLAG meeting or a similar support group rather than trying to come to grips with reality on your own as this has obviously not been successful in the past.

Sincerely yours,

		<description>Also check post #80, where Jeremy says he was just here to correct our facts and stop us from &quot;lying&quot;.  Clearly he&#039;s the one lying.  And there&#039;s something a bit too coincidental about an OK gov staffer posting on a blog to try to clear Kerns&#039; name.  Let&#039;s be real.</description>

The son of a state lawmaker who has condemned homosexuality as a worse threat to the U.S. than â€œterrorists or Islamâ€ said Friday he wants it known that he is â€œstraight and not gay.â€

From the article:
Kern, who said he is affiliated with the Des Moines School of Metaphysics, said that he chooses to be celibate, but he is not homosexual.

&quot;First of all, no one&#039;s sexuality is anyone&#039;s business. It is not even my mother&#039;s business,&quot; he said. &quot;I practice celibacy to give to my God,&quot; he said.

		<description>I actually wanted to respond to some posts from a few days back from Jeremy, the staffer at OK gov who said he knew the Kerns family and that Kristin couldn&#039;t do math.  I&#039;ve attached a link to an article that is from an actual newspaper that states that Jesse is 31.  Coincidentally that is my age, and I was in college from 1994 to 1998, the mid 90s.  I was NOT in 7th grade in 1992.  So Jeremy is clearly lying.  Also, the article states that Jesse is celibate and a member of a metaphysical religion.  Sounds like Scientology to me, and that he IS GAY!

		<description>Incredible.  This information needs to be spread far and wide, and I intend to do my part.

This really isn&#039;t too surprising to me, since my family is mainly Southern Baptist and I know the territory.  You&#039;re taught that you MUST love jesus above all else.  ESPECIALLY your family and your children.  If you don&#039;t love jesus more, you are doing something wrong and must pray and grieve and consult a pastor, etc. until they get you, *ahem* &quot;straightened&quot; out, as it were.</description>

		<description>Jesse Kern was most likely NOT in 7th grade in 1992.  The article provided by Duvet (Comment No. 77) clearly shows that Jesse was a senior at Oklahoma Baptist University in November of 1998.</description>

		<description>Senator Kern sounds a lot like my husband&#039;s parents.  They are Southern Baptists, living in Georgia, and they disowned him when he came out to them.  Years later, he is still in a lot of pain and heartache from the loss of love from the people who ought to love him most.  Years later, it still hurts him, all because these two people are so blinded by their religious beliefs that they can&#039;t see what they&#039;ve lost - a son who is a wonderful, caring man who despite this abandonment, still loves them.

The Senator also seems to be one of those people who say that gay men and lesbians become homosexual due to poor upbringing.  That is, until one of their own children comes out of the closet, and then, naturally, *their* child was &quot;recruited&quot; by someone else...</description>

		<description>Whether or not Jesse Kern is gay should not be the problem. If he IS then what his mother said just made him fodder for every shark out there. If it was not him in the court for sodomy just think of the hell he will go through for the rest of his life because someone thought they should bring it to our attention. Who cares! Maybe Sally and her husband use illicit sex toys in their bedroom. Do you care? I don&#039;t, but now maybe I have started another nasty rumor.</description>

		<description>So, Jeremy, you&#039;re using government resources for personal entertainment?  You personally gave out your office e-mail addy.  

In these days of media and then the law pig piling government employees for inappropriate actions, you must either be one dumb SoB or pretty arrogant.</description>

		<description>If he was indeed in Grade 7 in 92, then he would have been in college by the late 90&#039;s.

Grade 7 1992-93
Grade 8 1993-94
Grade 9 1994-95
Grade 10 1995-96
Grade 11 1996-97
Grade 12 1997-98
1st Year College 1998-99
2nd Year college 1999-00

This of course assumes that he started Grade 7 in the 1992-93 school year. He could have started 7th Grade in the 1991-92 school year. Meaning that he&#039;d have been at college THREE years, not two, in the late 90&#039;s 1997-98, 1998-99, and 1999-00. There&#039;s the numbers for you all in black and white.</description>

		<description>Guys like Jesse have my empathy.............sort of.  I mean, at least my brother and I didn&#039;t feel the need to work the public restrooms while in college!  My mother was just like Salacious Sally; from my earliest memories, she was constantly making hateful slurs about all those &quot;sick queers&quot; and their &quot;agenda&quot; to force children everywhere to be gay.  When my oldest brother was discovered by my mother (his step-mother)to be gay, she put this poor guy through the Spanish inquisition, demanding to know who did this to him, demanding that he &quot;Give me the names&quot; of those gay guys!  Like it was some sort of conspiracy!!  Then, after hours of this interrogation would ensue, he&#039;d be crying so hard that he would hyperventilate; at this point, the hateful, self-righteous bitch would interrupt the interrogation and feed him a 10 Mg. Valium to get him to calm down a bit, then she&#039;d go right back at it, screaming and name-calling, yelling things like, &quot;How can you wrap your lips around another man&#039;s COCK??!!&quot;! He was forced out of the house in the dead of winter, in order to &quot;protect my other sons from his illness&quot;.  With nowhere to go, he joined the U.S. Army (and of course, he had a ball there, what with all the gay sex that goes on THERE!)but much to my mother&#039;s chagrin, it didn&#039;t &quot;make a man out of him&quot;, it just gave him a decent career, so at least one good thing came out of this.  Well, that and............. also..........a few years after all this terror had passed, WHAMMO!  I&#039;m gay, too!!  Two out of 4 sons are GAY.  I love it.  Talk about Karma;  I really believe that when a person is so hateful and homophobic, God thinks to himself, &quot;Oh, really?  You hate another person for the way they are, a person whom I ALSO created?  Ok, well here you go...........I&#039;m dropping that very same type of person right off at your own front door.  Deal with it.&quot;  This is how God teaches the bigots and the haters their lessons in life.  Salacious Sally, like my own mother (and many other homophobes) is just another ignorant, hateful CUNT.  That says it all.</description>

		<description>First of all, we are all sinners, each and every one of us.  Funny thing is, I don&#039;t hear the gay community admitting to this.  How foolish that we continue in our sins, yet somehow want to justify them to the world that they are ok?  Here is where the problem lies.  I am saved by grace, but I fall oh so short of Gods expections.  I do not delude myself into thinking that my behavior is righteous.  On a daily basis, I have lied, I have impure thoughts, but I feel the conviction of God calling me to pull myself out of the dirtiness of my sin and allow Him to help me.  That is the issue that I have with the Gay community, no remorse, no regret, and no guilt.  Wouldn&#039;t we all like to surround ourselves with like minded people who our engaging in the same sin as we, to make ourselves feel better?  I get that, I really do.  But, in doing that, the Gays have went to great lengths to bombard my TV viewing with gay characters, somehow chipping away at me, and making me think that it is ok to be gay.  I get that we all have tendencies toward sin, but we can&#039;t just throw in the towel and give into it.  Homosexuality is a sin; so is lying, cheating, adultry, gluttony, etc.  No,I don&#039;t think that we should go to the local Weight Watchers meetings and persecute the over weight...But, quit trying to make me think that the homosexual lifestyle is normal. I love Gay people...but I hate thier lifestyle.  I watch &quot;Ellen&quot; several times a week..she is obviously a loving and caring person and a great comedian.  Just this week we have a governer stepping down from office because of his affair with a prostitute...this man was contrite, he knew that he had sinned and did the right thing by resigning.  I don&#039;t see people rallying to his defense, saying that it is ok to have an affair with a prostitute.  He was wrong, it didn&#039;t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.  I respect him even more for when he was caught, admitting and doing the right thing. No delusion there.</description>

Wouldn&#8217;t we all like to surround ourselves with like minded people who our engaging in the same sin as we, to make ourselves feel better?  I get that, I really do.  But, in doing that, the Gays have went to great lengths to bombard my TV viewing with gay characters, somehow chipping away at me, and making me think that it is ok to be gay.  I get that we all have tendencies toward sin, but we can&#8217;t just throw in the towel and give into it.  Homosexuality is a sin; so is lying, cheating, adultry, gluttony, etc.  No,I don&#8217;t think that we should go to the local Weight Watchers meetings and persecute the over weight&#8230;But, quit trying to make me think that the homosexual lifestyle is normal. I love Gay people&#8230;but I hate thier lifestyle.  I watch &#8220;Ellen&#8221; several times a week..she is obviously a loving and caring person and a great comedian.  Just this week we have a governer stepping down from office because of his affair with a prostitute&#8230;this man was contrite, he knew that he had sinned and did the right thing by resigning.  I don&#8217;t see people rallying to his defense, saying that it is ok to have an affair with a prostitute.  He was wrong, it didn&#8217;t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.  I respect him even more for when he was caught, admitting and doing the right thing. No delusion there.</p>

		<description>The only thing I learn from all this, is that Mrs Kern terrorizes a gay son, born from her own womb and conceived from her marriage with a Pastor. As a gay AND (raised as) Christian, I honestly think
our Lord SO strongly disapproves for  He IS Love.
Mrs Kern is holier than holy yet a SO BIG sinner.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s easy to crow at Sally Kern&#039;s discomfiture, and surely she deserves it and more. Just let&#039;s not overlook or diminish the tragedy of her poor son in having a mother so cold. How much pain has this poor man gone through with her for a mother? And the worst thing? I have no doubt that it has never crossed her mind that she has done anything wrong in abandoning her own son. Somehow, she thinks it is his fault, that who he has found himself to be is an affront to her. She would probably say it is an affront to God, but God is just her stand-in. Like all of these holy bigots, the universe is really all about them.</description>

		<description>Well... I read a transcript of Ms. Kern&#039;s edifying diatribe against homosexuals, and I am astounded at the amount of scientific information contained therein. Who knew that homosexuals have a shorter lifespan than heteros? Somebody should tell that to Elton John and Senator Larry Craig. Also, apparently if a society embraces homosexuality, their moment in the sun will only be a few decades, according to some studies that Ms. Kern has perused in detail. I imagine that ancient Rome, Greece, Assyria, Babylon, the cultures of Cannan, and Hollywood were not included in these studies. And who would&#039;ve thought that a gay teacher is far more dangerous than a crazed theocrat with a dirty bomb strapped to his chest in the middle of a crowded subway station? I always thought that all men were created equal, but according to Ms. Kern not all lifestyles are equal and certainly not all religions are equal. Which brings me to my next point: Islam. Yes, Islam is a threat to America. Not extremist Islamic terrorists, no sir. Islam itself. So we have homos and muslims, oh my, and we are screwed, no? And lastly, she talks about gay people infiltrating the political landscape. I mean, heterosexual people get elected, but gay people infiltrate. Dear close-minded transparent Sally Kern, I don&#039;t blame you for your bigoted views in the face of such collosal misinformation taking space in your brain. After all, I would not blame a person in a coma for wetting the bed, would I?</description>
