Brittany Novotny a transgender attorney and LGBT activist is setting her hopes on the legislative seat currently occupied by anti-gay Sally Kern. You might remember Kern for her remarks about "homosexuality being worse than terrorism" along with a slew of other radical statements such as blaming the economic downturn on gays and lesbians.
Ms. Novotny on the other hand is actually focused on the issues of constituents and seeks to create change not division within her district.
"We need a representative who values all families in the district, who is dedicated to bringing good jobs to Oklahoma, and who will work tirelessly to make sure our children are getting the best education in our public schools. I believe I have the experience, drive, and determination to do that." -Brittany M. Novotny
The election set for 2010 is in a very conservative district, but if we can out seat an anti-LGBT politician with Ms. Novotny it would be a major not to mention sweet victory.
Oklahoma Rep. Sally Kern who once suggested "gays are worse than terrorism" is back to demonizing gays again. In an unusually public ceremony, Rep. Kern signed a “Proclamation for Morality,” which blames the U.S.’s current economic crisis on, among other acts of “debauchery,” same-sex marriage.
Part of her proclamation reads:
WHEREAS, we believe our economic woes are consequences of our greater national moral crisis; and
WHEREAS, this nation has become a world leader in promoting abortion, pornography, same sex marriage, sex trafficking, divorce, illegitimate births, child abuse, and many other forms of debauchery; and
WHEREAS, alarmed that the Government of the United States of America is forsaking the rich Christian heritage upon which this nation was built; and
WHEREAS, grieved that the Office of the president of these United States has refused to uphold the long held tradition of past presidents in giving recognition to our National Day of Prayer; and
WHEREAS, deeply disturbed that the Office of the president of these United States disregards the biblical admonitions to live clean and pure lives by proclaiming an entire month to an immoral behavior.
Yesterday at the State House Sally Kern read and signed the proclamation, protesters and supporters chanted and sang:
Sally Kern is suggesting our economic troubles are due to same-sex marriage and Obama recognizing June as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender pride month? Maybe, if she spent less time obsessing about gays and more time doing her job we wouldn't have an economic crisis!
