‘I Don’t Hate Anybody’: Rep. Sally Kern Defends Her Three Latest Anti-Gay Bills (Video)

Watch as Republican state Rep. Sally Kern goes on local Oklahoma TV news to defend her three anti-gay bills.

Oklahoma Rep. Sally Kern last week introduced three anti-gay bills. They include one protecting the rights of junk-science “ex-gay” therapists to practice child abuse, defunding same-sex marriage, and protecting the rights of people who want to discriminate against the LGBT community. 

“I don’t hate anybody; it means you look at an issue and decide what’s right,” Kern told local news station KFOR in response to LGBT activists and allies who have responded by calling her legislation “hate-filled.” 

“If they want to live that way, let them, but see that’s not enough for them, right now. What they want is to force their lifestyle upon the rest of us,” she insisted.

But Kern also went further in defending her likely-unconstitutional legislation, by ignoring science and fact.

“The LGBT people want to limit someone’s freedom to come to understand something, because their mantra is ‘well you’re born gay and you can’t change’ and there’s no credible scientific research to prove that,” Kern said. Of course, science has provided significant studies proving sexual orientation is genetically determined, and so-called conversion therapy is not only ineffective, bt harmful and dangerous.

Kern also ad an interesting twist to what most Americans feel about civil rights for LGBT people.

“They are on the wrong side of the moral issue, so yes they are going to seem like they are attacked,” Kern said.

Kern isn’t the only Oklahoma lawmaker who is waging war against the gay community.

State senator Joseph Silk has introduced legislation ensuring businesses can discriminate against gay people too.

“What this is doing is protecting freedom, that’s what it is, and that’s what this homosexual movement, that’s what they don’t want, they don’t want that at all. What they want is for everyone to be forced to accept them and forced to provide services,” Senator Silk told KFOR.

And state senator Corey Brooks has filed a bill to ensure same-sex couples can be discriminated against when they wish to marry.

His bill gives judges, clerks, and pastors “the opportunity to say, ‘No, we don’t want to perform that ceremony, but somebody else, a few stalls down at the court clerks office does,'” Brooks said.
