Gays BETTER Than Terrorists

Thursday, March 13. 2008

It's gotten a bit lost in the New York City news cycle because of this Spitzer mess, so it may be worth taking a moment to mention Oklahoma Representative Sally Kern. You know, the one who said homosexuality is a bigger threat to our nation than "terrorism or Islam." Here she is in a video put together by the HRC:

What I think Ms. Sally is missing, though, is the fact that she's not saying gays are a worse threat, she's saying we're a better threat.

I mean, right? We've taken over city councils and schools, we're winning over 2-year-olds (and, by the way, where are those 2-year-old supporters? Aren't we overdue for a 2-FLAG march or something?), heck -- we've even organized groups that are allowed to meet in public!!!

Since terrorists and gays seem to have the same agenda (changing people's hearts and minds, causing stuffy and unbending societies to crumble), I'd say we're so much better. We make friends, write books, and intelligently argue our way into elected office and high-profile businesses and dinner tables. If we keep this up, America will be in the toilet, like, tomorrow. As you know (because Sally told us so), "No society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than, you know, a few decades."

So watch out crappy, rigid, backwards America, you might actually have to transform into an inclusive society of luv luv luv, because us gays are WAY BETTER than terrorists. Just ask your mom. Not Jesse Kern's mom, though. Rumor is she disowned him, because he, himself, is gay. Her name is Sally. Hey, waitaminute...

I've seen this story in a couple of places online, and so far no one has thought to mention that saying ISLAM is a threat to the U.S. is, um, really bigoted and ignorant. It's a religion, not a murder plot, folks. And over 5 million Americans are part of it, too. Islam is part of America, and a beautiful and justice-seeking way of life as well. (And no, I'm not muslim myself, though I am living in Pakistan this year.)

Just wanted to point that out.

"terrorism or Islam."???

its been expressed in a way that it seems terrorism is the meaning of Islam. It is sad that where you're defending being gay...you're actually spreading out a different meaning for a religion. And maybe if you have not realized, that is indeed a very insensitive expression. I am gay and happen to be a Muslim too. Maybe that makes me the worst person on earth one way or the other. Things could be better if people open there eyes and stop believing in how media portrays a specific group of people.

Hey Salloo (and Susan, too, actually) -- I was actually careful in my post not to specify "Islamic terrorists" when I was talking about whom gays were better than. Although perhaps I should have emphasized the separation more.

Terrorists and Muslims are certainly two different constituencies in my mind, just as the Inquisitors were quite different from Catholics at large during the Inquisition's time. I am, myself, Filipino-American and so have known and am friends with many a Muslim, so I apologize for any insensitivity on my part. I hope you got that I was attempting to portray Sally Kern and her comments for the bigoted joke that she/they are.
