Sally Kern Says She's Found the "Gay Agenda"

Oklahoma state representative Sally Kern says she's found "the gay agenda" -- in a book based on a musical adaptation of Oscar Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan.


Homophobic Oklahoma state representative Sally Kern is at it again -- this time urging a crowd at the “Clouds Over America” conference of the John Birch Society that the time has come “for a new ‘Great Awakening,’” evidenced by a “gay agenda” she says she uncovered in the book After the Ball.

According to Kern, the book, written by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen and based on a musical adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s Lady Windermere’s Fan, documents a “public relations campaign to have gays accepted by the general public -- step by step -- with the final goal being not just acceptance of gays by heterosexuals but eventual triumph of homosexuality as a superior lifestyle.”

Kern’s thoughts were documented by the Oklahoma Gazette and Towle Road, compiled from her speech at the event.

“You know, I’ve done a lot of reading on this,” Kern said. “I wish I could describe to you their behavior. I will not because I would be redder than this suit. It’s their behavior that we oppose.

“This theme of equality and freedom is the approach that the homosexuals are using today -- totally perverting the true intention of what our Constitution meant,” she continued. “The homosexuals get it -- it’s a struggle between our religious freedoms and their right to do what they want to do.”

According to the organization’s official Website, the mission statement of the John Birch Society is to provide “Americans with the educational materials, programs, campaigns, and organizational leadership to restore our constitutional Republic.” (Advocate.com)

    guess i missed the office memo on the gay agenda. anyone have a copy floating around for me to check out? what makes me smile is the fact that when sally meets god, she will be informed that she FAILED to treat her fellow humans in an honorable and faithful way and even highly probably turned away the blind beggar from her door when she asked for a small morsel of food for the night. both her and palin have made it acceptable once again, to codify hate and bigotry. "she" and others like her will be standing outside of the gates looking in but will never be able to be let in. their, "curse" will be to forever live the loop of hatrid for all of eternity. i pity them for their ignorance.

    What is even scarier than Sally Kern's type of crazed ignorance is the voters who keep this insanity in office. This is reason enough to avoid Oklahoma altogether.
