‘Homosexuality Is Not A Civil Right. It’s A Human Wrong’ Says OK GOP Lawmaker

var addthis_config = {“data_track_addressbar”:true};

Oklahoma Republican state representative Sally Kern has spent years fighting LGBT civil rights. The Arkansas native who is married to the pastor of a Baptist church has never felt the need to show respect or empathy for the LGBT community.

Kern has called gays “dangerous,” “sinful,” and “an enemy who wants to destroy us,” and said gays hijacked freedom and equality “to destroy the future of America.”

On the eve of the tenth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that killed 3000 people in America, Rep. Kern said gays and homosexuality are “more dangerous” than terrorists.

Months earlier, Kern said that telling someone they’re “born this way” is hateful, and likened homosexuals to adulterers.

Pushing a “Proclamation for Morality” in 2009, Kern labeled same sex marriage “debauchery.”

These are but a few landmarks along the highway of Oklahoma Representative Sally Kern’s hate masked as “religious freedom.”

After a federal judge struck down as unconstitutional Oklahoma’s ten-year old ban on same-sex marriage, Rep. Kern of course had a few words to share about the ruling.

“Homosexuality is not a civil right. It’s a human wrong,” Kern told local station NewsOn6.com. “Homosexuals are saying this is who we are. This is how we’re born. You tell a lie long enough, people start to believe it,” she added.

Ironically, thew author of Oklahoma’s ban on same-sex marriage says he knew the law was constitutionally “a risk” when he wrote it.

“The federal courts have always taken a much more activist view of the constitution and so that was always a risk that they were going to see that,” former state lawmaker James Williamson told NewsOn6. “Many people are very disappointed that states don’t have the right to decide such basic fundamental issues like who should be allowed to marry,” Williamson said.

And if they did, in some states, African-Americans might not be allowed to marry whites.

In 1967, when the Supreme Court ruled in Loving v. Virginia that it was unconstitutional to ban blacks from marrying whites, there were seventeen states that still banned the practice. Which states? All the former slave states, plus Oklahoma.
