Lawmaker says gays are worse than terrorists

In March, a secret recording emerged of a disturbing speech by Oklahoma Representative Sally Kern stating that homosexuality is a bigger threat to our nation than "terrorism or Islam." Rep. Kern has refused to apologize for her remarks.

Hateful speech by elected officials must not be tolerated – especially when hate crimes based on religion and sexual orientation are on the rise.

Tell Oklahoma's Governor, Speaker of the House, and Senate President Pro Tempore to publicly condemn Rep. Kern's statements.
