An Oklahoma state representative has received thousands of hostile e-mail messages after she said that homosexuality is a bigger threat to national security than terrorism.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is investigating more than 17,000 mostly hostile e-mails that were sent to State Rep. Sally Kern after parts of a speech she gave to a Republican organization earlier this year were posted on YouTube, said bureau spokeswoman Jessica Brown. Listen to portions of the speech.
During the speech, Kern said that "the homosexual agenda is just destroying this nation" and that homosexuality poses a bigger threat to the United States than terrorism. "According to God's word, that is not the right kind of lifestyle," she said.
"Studies show no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than a few decades," Kern, a former teacher who sits on the education committee, added.

It probably would have been better to leave out the comparison to terrorism because they are two very different evils. But still, I understand her point and support her.
(apologies to Francophiles. I love that Sarkozy. Not in a gay way though)
At this point I think Texas should annex Oklahoma and leave the union. Just kidding, well not really, maybe sorta not I don’t know. Well, Texas should at least leave the union.
"Kern said Monday that she had not received death threats.On Tuesday, she said, "It's changed," but she did not elaborate."
"I wouldn't characterize them as death threats," which was said by OSBI spokeperson.

The national media distorting what happened? Nuh uh. No way.
About time someone has the balls to say this. Funny how the only Republican to say this is a woman too. You go girl!
Evil is evil.
This was probably after the Ellen Show tried to call her.
Ellen got her panties in a twist over this and had to make an on air call.
A good friend of mine works as an intern for Rep. Kern. She, Rep. Kern, and all of the rest of her staff could definitely use some prayers.
“Studies show no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than a few decades,”
Can anyone disprove this?
Thought not..
I think she went a bit far in her comments but she is correct that homosexuality is a threat to this nation.
Why don’t we all right her and give her some encouragement (although ask her to be a bit smarter in her expression of her views next time).
Here’s her e-mail address: sallykern@okhouse.gov

Ellen is a lunatic and a radical.
“homosexuality poses a bigger threat to the United States than terrorism.”.....
No, but the flamethrower homosexuality demonstrated in the U.S. is one reason the terrorists hate us.
If you think France becoming a totally Islamic state in about 50 years......is just fine......then I guess your right!
We should speak the truth in love now because the way things are shaping up, “hate speech” legislation is just around the corner.
but
if she had said
‘right wing fundamentalist christians’
were as dangerous as islamic terrorists
no one would have batted an eyelash
Yes and it’s legal for gays to both get married and adopt children in Israel!
They aren't, France proves her point.
