Republican Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern thinks that homosexuals are more dangerous than terrorists, but given her long history of anti-gay statements, that’s hardly news. Slightly more interesting however is that not a single Oklahoma law maker has bothered denouncing Kern’s claims, even after receiving over 200,000 e-mails from Human Rights Campaign followers asking Oklahoma legislators asking them to do just that.
Of course, HRC President Joe Solmonese has some politely stern words for Oklahoma:
“The silence of Governor Fallin and Oklahoma’s legislative leadership is deafening, particularly given the number of people we now see calling on them to speak out. Enough is enough. Sally Kern has a long track record of outrageously slandering LGBT Americans, ethnic and religious groups, and women. It’s time for Oklahoma’s leaders to stand up to her bigotry and hold her accountable for her remarks.”
Oh Joe. Don’t you know that the Oklahoma government only scolds Sally when she calls women and black people lazy?
How about we take this to the next level?

The KKK, an explicitly Christian organization, has long been extremely active in Oklahoma. During Representative Kern’s term, the Bayou Knights chapter held a rally in Oklahoma. Oklahoma also boasts chapters of the United Confederate Knights and the American Knights. This terrorist organization has murdered approximately 2000 people, intimidated thousands more, and caused enormous property damage.
The White Aryan Resistance, also an explicitly Christian organization, is active in Catoosa, Oklahoma. This terrorist organization has also been implicated in several murders, intimidations, bombings and burnings.
“Elohim City” is an explicitly Christian private community in Muldrow, Oklahoma. Various members of terrorist groups such as The Covenant, The Sword, and the Arm of the Lord, Christian Identity, and the Silent Brotherhood have resided here, among its most infamous residents Richard Snell, executed by the state of Arkansas as a multiple murderer, subsequent to a failed bombing plot. Snell’s execution was on 19 April 1995…just a few hours before Tim McVeigh bombed Oklahoma’s Murrah federal building.
Oh, did I mention that Tim McVeigh lived at Elohim City too?
But none of that troubles Representative Kern as much as the fact that media sends messages that homosexuality is normal and natural. Yep. That’s the real problem in Oklahoma.

Because Oklahoma sucks.
