Poor, sad, one-track minded Sally Kern.

The Oklahoma City politico simply can't think past the gays and our allegedly immoral ways. Debating opponent Ron Marlett last week, Kern, who caught national flack this year for launching a rhetorical jihad against the gays, cemented her political standing in an firmly homophobic platform.

Repeating her assertion that same-sex lovers are a "moral decay that's destroying our nation from within," Kern also made the outlandish claim that we gays are the greatest threat facing the US of A:

When asked about the biggest threat facing the United States, Marlett said it was dependence on foreign oil. Kern said it was homosexuality.

"While terrorism has killed more than 3,000 people, in the continental United States in the last 15 years, homosexual behavior has killed more than 100,000," she said. "It's a danger to life. It is a danger to health."
…
"Our county is united pretty much against terrorism, but homosexuality is being promoted in schools and by the government," said Kern.

Marlett, who has our hypothetical vote, described Kern's cancer remark as "chilling." We also think it's quite childish.

Sally Kern's back! The Oklahoma lawmaker, who gained national prominence for her anti-gay stance, lashed again yesterday, this time trying to awkwardly justify her hateful ways:

Tuesday's remarks were made at the Cleveland County Republican Club where she once again repeated her opposition to gay marriage and homosexuality. She opened by saying she was a “cultural warrior for Judeo-Christian values.”

“I am not saying everyone has to be Christian; this is not a homogeneous nation,” Kern told the audience. “What you have to be is someone who believes in a Judeo-Christian ethic, in other words, in knowing there's a right and wrong.”

“Not all lifestyles are equal; not all religions are equal,” she continued. “Was I saying all people are not equal? Heavens no; we were all created equal.”

Some are just more righteous, right Sally?

Anti-gay Oklahoma lawmaker Sally Kern ain't gonna like this one.

Homo-politico Jim Roth currently leads the fund race for the state's Corporate Commission.

Kern, of course, made international news in March when she railed against "immoral" gays and criticized rich gay philanthropists, including Tim Gill, who happened to contribute $5,000 to Roth's campaign.

And he's not alone: Colorado Congressional hopeful Jared Polis, whom we interviewed last week, also offered a contribution.

Gays sure do like to stick together!

Oklahoma lawmaker Sally Kern should have kept her mouth shut. Not only did her anti-gay comments offended countless people, but it may be costing Oklahoma City a lucrative deal. Rumor has it that Kern's remarks may have scared away a lesbian automotive executive who wanted to open an office in the area.

The deal, to be brokered by real estate giant Staubach Co., has not yet been taken off the table, but "local business leaders" claim the San Francisco-based lesbian ain't amused. Staubach refuses to divulge the details, of course…

In even more war-ish news, the brutish Peter LaBarbera and his pals at Americans For "Truth" ain't gay about Out's list of the universe's most powerful homos:

We are intrigued by the fact that the same movement that once cried out for “privacy” and “to be left alone” feels free to publicly declare people’s homosexuality for them (Anderson Cooper, No. 2, and Jodie Foster, No. 43).

On the other hand, if OUT is right, it might explain Cooper’s bias in his reporting on the homosexual issue: in a recent interview that the CNN host did with pro and con advocates on a ”gay parenting” story, he blatantly favored the “gay” side in his questioning.

Regardless of whether Cooper practices homosexuality, as a professional he should be completely even-handed in his treatment of this controversial moral question.

This from a man who uses his influence to spread blatantly biased spread gay panic and supports Sally Kern, the politician who called non-Christians "infidels" and equated gays with terrorists? Who's even-handed?

Social conservatives will shower Sally Kern with praise today, but the anti-gay lawmaker has no friends on The Oklahoman's editorial team.

Kern's main focus in the Legislature has been on anti-gay initiatives, such as trying to determine where libraries should place books with homosexual themes. "God's Word does not change. … Therefore, my opinion also will not change,” she said last week.

Kern will be shown a little love today when the American Family Association holds a rally in her support at the Capitol. Perhaps constituents ought to hold a rally of their own, urging this one-trick pony to put her tiresome personal agenda aside and work to do something constructive.

We have a suggestion, but it's not fit for print.

Oklahoma lawmaker Sally Kern simply can't quit her anti-gay ways. After coming out last week against gay discrimination, Kern took pen to paper and published an op-ed in which she again rails against the so-called "gay agenda:"

Anyone who thinks there is no homosexual agenda need only look here in Oklahoma to the newly formed Equal Rights Project created to help elect candidates by bridging the gay/straight community. The Equal Rights Project states "We felt we were uniquely qualified to help those running in the South and the Bible Belt. Running in these communities is much different than in California and New York. Our idea was to train, educate and support all candidates who support equal rights for all."

Homosexuals are already citizens who have equal rights. They want "special rights" for the acceptance of their deviant lifestyle. I'm thankful that Oklahoma is different than California and New York. I pray it stays that way.

Despite meeting with PFLAG and coming out against anti-gay discrimination yesterday, lawmaker Sally Kern still maintains that we gays are a blight on American society.

Speaking with about 40 people at a contentious University of Central Oklahoma meeting, Kern again stood by her now infamous remarks on the "homosexual lifestyle": "If I knew it was being recorded, I'd still say the same thing. I will not back down from what I believe the Bible teaches.”

Kern also took some time to reiterate her trepidation over Islam in America: "It's like oil and water: They (Islamic law and American law) won't mix."

Old dogs can learn new tricks. Infamously anti-gay lawmaker Sally Kern today with the folks at PFLAG and they apparently made her realize that we gays aren't terrorist demon spawns. Via PageOneQ:

Oklahoma House Rep. Sally Kern has taken a stand opposing discrimination against gays in the workplace. The embattled lawmaker is also considering another meeting with more PFLAG parents at their local chapter…
…
Prior to today's meeting, Rep. Kern expressed that she saw the "gay agenda" as a bigger threat to the United States than international terrorism, and used an analogy suggesting that such an agenda needed to be caught early and treated like one would treat cancer.

This is incredible, especially considering Kern defended herself just last weekend. It's worth noting that Kern did not apologize, according to a PFLAG press release, which we've included after the jump.

It should be interesting to hear what Kern has to say to the anti-gay kids of University of Central Oklahoma's College Republicans. Someone bring a tape recorder.
