must tang Sally

Surely by now you've heard Oklahoma State Representative (and wife of Baptist minister) Sally Kern's ignorant, bigoted diatribe against gay people.



How so very Christian of her.

The video has gone viral and Kern is in the middle of a shit Santorum storm of her own making.

Ellen, in her charming way, tried to call her (out).




Now it seems, she's covering up a gay son whom she disowned. Poor guy was pretty much biblically abused his whole life and had to act out by cruising the toilets at the Baptist university. Successfully, one supposes, getting off with other closeted (or not) gay kids other biblically and emotionally abused by parents who failed them too.

From the comments uncovered at Queerty:

Jesse Kern, Sally’s son, was raised in a strict Baptist environment. If your claims are true then you must blame her and her husband for his turning out that way. Most gays aren’t out there breaking the law and engaging in public sex acts and solicitation. Jesse chose criminal behavior to act out on his desires.
…
I see in this foolish woman much anger and resentment. Her beliefs are challenged within herself, because if she stands by them then she must accept her part in her son being a homosexual. She isn’t strong enough to do that. Instead, she has created a paranoid delusion that there is some vast conspiracy of gays infiltrating schools and governments to turn others gay and force their lifestyles on everyone. Her subconscious has created this great gay evil so she doesn’t have to blame herself and she says her son as a victim.

Had the gays infiltrated Jesse’s school and indoctrinated him then? Funny, how he attended Baptist schools. His attendence [sic] at Oklahoma Baptist University was marred by his repeated censure for cruising the school’s toilets. Had he been able to live his life openly he would not have had to engage in such actions.

Oh goodie. Someone has made a video response.
