Sally Kern is a Republican Oklahoma state legislator from Oklahoma City. She is married to Steve Kern, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church.

In March 2008, Kern made national headlines when she stated "I honestly think [homosexuality is] the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam - which I think is a big threat, OK? Cause what's happening now is they are going after, in schools, two-year olds."

After receiving attention for the remarks, Kern said "I said nothing that was not true" and refused to apologize."

Kern is also an advocate for creationism and does not think that evolution should be taught as science in public schools.

Oklahoma State Rep. Sally Kern! Hot Political Mess from Oklahoma

Written by jstrater on
Sally's hot messiness is months old but it is so worth noting on this inaugural post of Hot Political Mess. So here is the deal on Oklahoma State Rep Sally Kern . Sally was being her conservative self and was speaking at a meeting in her district. I presume it was a pretty right wing scary group. Little did she know that someone in the audience was taping her and a little tirade against "homosexuality" was heard all over. It wasn't just a cute little speech against the gay community, it was some freaky tirade that ABC News reports she said "the homosexual agenda ... Read Full Story

Oklahoma Race For Governor Reveals Anti-Gay Conspiracy

Written by michaelinnorfolk on
As Gossip Boy , Good As You , and other blogs are starting to report, Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett wants to be Oklahoma's next governor and it has been revealed that he thinks the way to the governor's office is via a concerted anti-gay jihad, including packing the Metropolitan Library Commission of Oklahoma County with anti-gay extremists. Not surprising, another figure in the conspiracy is nutcase Sally Kern's husband, Steve Kern, pastor of the Olivet Baptist Church. We have always known that anti-gay rhetoric is cynically used by far right candidates to court religious extremist voters, but it is rare that we find ... Read Full Story

Tell Oklahoma Rep Sally Kern to SHUT UP!

Written by queerunity on
Remember that crazed Oklahoma representative who said that " gays are worse than terrorism ." She got into a lot of heat and had to defend her comments, which became the subject of national media scrutiny. After receiving thousands of emails and phone calls, it appeared Sally felt some sympathy for gay rights, and declared " gays shouldn't be fired because of their sexual orientation." What a sweet story of a soured bigot who came to see the light, right? Wrong. "She told the John Birch Society at a gathering last week that she's found the homosexual agenda! In the book "After the Ball: ... Read Full Story

Sally Kern: anti-gay crusader stopped from bringing a firearm into capitol

Written by aidanki on
Anti-gay Oklahoma representative, Sally Kern, would appear to be either a little paranoid or experiencing early-onset dotage. For the second time in two months, she has entered the Oklahoma state capitol with a semi-automatic in her purse. Kern is best known for her inflammatory remarks about gays . She equated homosexuality with terrorism: "The homosexual agenda is just destroying this nation." She also made the ludicrous claim that homosexuality poses a bigger threat to the United States than terrorism. Following her smear of the LGBT community, Kern complained that she had received death threats. In both of the Oklahoma capitol incidents, Kern claims that ... Read Full Story

Sally Kern and the AFA: targeting gays in America

Written by aidanki on
Oklahoma State rep., Sally Kern (Rep), has it in for gay people who seek to serve their communities . Rather than welcome the contribution of gay Americans willing to volunteer their talent and their time, Kern has been making incendiary comments directed at the gay community that are not only unjust, but despite her claims to the contrary, both hateful and malicious. In a recent speech, Kern went so far as to claim that homosexuality is a bigger threat to national security than terrorism. Kern warns that "gays are infiltrating our city councils". She claims the city council in Eureka Springs, AR, is "controlled ... Read Full Story
