Homosexuals’ Big Blunder: Sally Kern Didn’t Back Down – Thousands Rally to Her Support
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
ANN ARBOR, MI — National homosexual groups saw an opportunity to make an example of Oklahoma State Legislator Sally Kern when her comments about homosexuality drew national attention. They targeted her for their special venom in hopes to get her to publicly back down. Even Ellen DeGeneres, the openly lesbian television host and comedian attempted to get into the fray. She called Rep. Kern on her television talk show, but Kern’s voicemail was full.
Radical homosexuals flooded her office with over 30,000 vulgar, explicit, hate-filled e-mails (

Rep. Kern is represented by the Thomas More Law Center, a national Christian public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Rep. Kern did not back down, and Christians counterattacked. Last Wednesday, fifty area pastors sponsored a “Free Speech Rally for Sally” inside the Rotunda of the OK State Capitol.
Upwards of 3,000 Oklahomans attended the rally chanting “Sally! Sally! Sally!” The crowd became so large that security guards had to turn many away at the entrance doors, and others could not find a place to park.
Rep. Sally Kern was “humbled” by it all. Her husband, a Baptist minister, introduced her to the thunderous applause of the audience. As she has throughout the entire ordeal, Rep. Kern’s message to the assembled crowd was one of love for the sinner: “God loves us all. He loves us equally and He loves us regardless of our sins. ”
However, Rep. Kern was emphatic that homosexual conduct is a sin: “Let me tell you why I will not, why I cannot, apologize for my comments. First, I believe God’s Word. When God calls something a sin, then it is a sin. God never changes and neither does His Word. ”

Homosexual groups first focused their ire on her after her comments to a Republican club meeting appeared as a You Tube audio clip. On the audio clip, which contains only about 500 words of the her 4000-word speech, one can hear Rep. Kern expressing her concern that the homosexual agenda is destroying our nation, and that young school children are being indoctrinated into believing that the homosexual life style is normal.
Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Law Center, commented, “Radical homosexuals, outraged at her refusal to back down, have already recruited a candidate to run against Sally this year, and are renewing their efforts to bombard her with hate-filled e-mails. ”
Aside from the numerous local pastors supporting her, Concerned Women for America, American Family Association, and the Eagle Forum – of which Kern is a member – have come to her aid.
