Oklahoma's GOP is Waging a Shocking War on LGBT Adults and Kids

Stoically anti-gay Oklahoma Representative Sally Kern is leading a charge in attacking Oklahoma’s LGBT community with not just one but three bills, including one that would protect therapists who try to convert gay people, including gay-identifying children.

Rep. Kern, who notoriously once claimed that homosexuality is more dangerous than terrorism, introduced the legislation last week and while she hasn’t specifically said what these proposed laws are meant to answer, it seems likely that they are to undercut marriage equality being rolled out in Oklahoma, as well as to undercut other pro-gay federal efforts.
