If you know me, you know that I criticize Oklahoma quite a bit but only because I want to see this state succeed and I believe our lawmakers do too but it’s not going to happen with the leadership we have now. Instead of moving our state forward, they are going to move backwards.
When the Senate reconvenes in February, I would be very terrified if I were a woman because God knows they are going to pass many anti-choice bills.
I would be terrified if I were a student in the public school system because they will most likely pass a law requiring that creationism be taught in public schools. And our conservative “Democrats” will more than likely go along with them.
I would be terrified if I am an injured worker because they will pass a doctor-friendly tort reform package that gives that injured worker very little chance of receiving compensation. Yes, I agree that frivolous lawsuits need to be stopped but don’t hurt someone else in the process that truly deserves monetary damages.
The gay people in Oklahoma don’t have to worry right now because their rights were taken away in 2004 when the state passed the marriage ban, though I wouldn’t put anything past Sally Kern.
And we wonder why young Oklahomans are choosing elsewhere to work?
Noted Homo-Hater, Sally Kern, Declared Honorary Gay/Lesbian Person
by James Nimmo
(OKLAHOMA CITY) To commemorate National Coming Out Day on Saturday, October 11, 2008, I am exercising my gay genetic heritage and declaring Rep. Sally Kern of Oklahoma an honorary gay/lesbian person in recognition of the fine work she has done to keep our community’s issues in the forefront of media attention, both here in Oklahoma and nationwide.
In a country turned upside down by religious and financial turmoil I feel that it is important to keep our American values straight and forthright. Her latest pronouncements have illustrated the debt our gay brothers and sisters owe to her. http://tinyurl.com/3qenfk and http://tinyurl.com/4jjsdz
