Oklahoma Republican Representative Sally Kern Says That Real Hate Comes From Gay Rights Advocates Who Dispute Sexual Reparative Therapy

Right Wing Watch reports that Oklahoma Republican legislator Sally Kern appeared with the American Family Association’s Tim Wildmon on American Family Radio Wednesday to discuss her new book, The Stoning of Sally Kern. Kern (who previously argued that homosexuality is a greater threat to the United States than terrorism and should be criminalized) and Wildmon agreed that the real “hateful” people are those who do not believe that gays and lesbians can change their sexual orientation and become straight. Wildmon said “Now Sally as you just said, nobody hates the individual homosexual. We want to see them come to repentance and know the Lord and have their lives changed, that’s what we want to see. So we have compassion for people like that.” Kern replied “To me what is hateful is when those people who say ‘you’re born this way, there’s no hope in change, you’re stuck in this, deal with it,’ that is hate. There’s no hope in that “ Kern ended the interview with a rallying cry for “God’s people to stand up” to gay rights advocates, who she called the “tip of the spear” of the movement “trying to tear down the moral fibre of America,” stating “ We’re losing our freedom of conscience. And if the homosexuals get what they want, and as you said it’s not just homosexuality, its immorality or adultery, all of that, but in my opinion the homosexual movement is the tip of the spear. They’re the ones who right now are beating down the door, have their foot in the door, trying to tear down the moral fibre of America. We have to stand up to that. The reason it’s the tip of the spear you don’t see ‘Adulterers Victory Fund’ out there trying to promote adultery. God’s people got to stand up to this.”
