Seriously? I was considering an email to express my disappointment with her views, but I figured it would have the same effect as lecturing your cat not to pee on the oriental rug.

She's issued a statement, quoted below. Also, you can click on the link and scroll to the bottom for a video of her defending her remarks (just below the quote).

UPDATE: On March 10, 2008, Rep. Sally Kern made the following statement, released through the Oklahoma House of Representatives' Media Division:

“To put this simply, as a Christian I believe homosexuality is not moral. Obviously, you have the right as an American to choose that lifestyle, but I also have the right to express my views and my fellow Oklahomans have the right to debate these issues.

“In recent years homosexual activists have begun to aggressively promote their agenda through the political process, often providing substantial financing to candidates who agree with their views, including many running for state legislative races. National publications such as Time, The Atlantic and USA Today have noted that trend. That is their right, just as it is my right to voice opposition to their agenda, which I have been asked to do at several public forums in recent months. That’s what democracy is all about. It appears some homosexual activists believe only one group is allowed a voice in this debate. I disagree.

“A vigorous debate on an issue is not ‘hate speech’ – it’s free speech. I have made clear my opposition to the agenda of homosexual activists, but I have never endorsed or supported any hateful action targeting individuals on the other side of this debate and never will. The fact that many gay rights activists claim anyone opposing their agenda is engaging in ‘hate speech’ says more about them than me.

“Most Oklahomans are socially conservative and believe marriage is a sacred institution, the union of one man and one woman, and that the traditional family is worth protecting and preserving. When I campaigned for office, I promised my constituents to stand up for those values, and I do not apologize for keeping my word.”

to me ...

tahts fine...as a christian...if you want to continue those old, barbaric beliefs...but as a public figure...you shouldn't bring religion into it...whatever happened to separation of church and state?!?

So she did not say anything about her gross misgeneralization of Muslims? I guess the only Muslims in Oklahoma are the ones that blow up federal buildi---.

Never mind.

Why is it ok to hate one person because of their beliefs, but not ok to hate someone else for their beliefs?
