Never mind that same-sex marriages are now legal in Oklahoma, state representative Sally Kerns has proposed a drastic law to severely punish any state employees who participate in the licensing or ceremonies for same-sex couples:
House Bill 1599 is being called the "Preservation and Sovereignty of Marriage Act." It says taxpayer dollars or governmental salaries cannot be used for "the licensing or support of same-sex marriage."
Under this bill no local or state employee would be allowed to quote "officially recognize, grant or enforce a same-sex marriage license and continue to receive a salary, pension or other employee benefit."
It goes on to say any judge who violates this act could also be removed from office.
If you think that's harsh, check out the other bills she introduced this week:
House Bill 1598 “Freedom to Obtain Conversion Therapy Act” says parents would be allowed to seek counseling and therapy to help change a child's sexual orientation, without interference from the state
The other, House Bill 1597, would allow any business in Oklahoma to refuse service to any gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender person or group.
Sally Kerns seems totally committed to discriminating against the LGBT community in Oklahoma in every way imaginable. Of course, this is a woman who once said homosexuality is more dangerous than terrorist attacks.
it amazes me how when Pres. does something to forward the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness for all Americans some bigoted republican come along and takes it beyond the opposite extreme, i'd like to know if there is one incident where she can site that a same sex anything impacted her, unless if she has kids or more likely a relative or herself she can blame has been coerced and "TURNED GAY".
and the reference to homosexuality being worst than terrorist is she related to Dr. Benny Carson who thinks giving millions of Americans health care is the worse thing since slavery, how many Americans have been beheaded by any homosexual or how many Americans have been whipped till their backs bleed by any homosexual? btw did i mention they call Pres. lawless when same sex is the law in OK.?
