Oklahoma Gov. Fallin ignores 200,000 emails urging her to repudiate State Rep. Kern's accusation that gayness is a greater threat than terrorism

200,000 emails by HRC members and supporters to Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin and state legislative leaders, calling on them to speak out against State Rep. Sally Kern’s dangerous anti-LGBT remarks, have been met with stony silence. Kern recently called homosexuality a bigger threat to the United States than terrorism. The Human Rights Campaign said this:

“The silence of Governor Fallin and Oklahoma’s legislative leadership [Speaker of the House Kris Steele and Senate President Pro Tempore Brian Bingman] is deafening, particularly given the number of people we now see calling on them to speak out. Enough is enough. Sally Kern has a long track record of outrageously slandering LGBT Americans, ethnic and religious groups, and women. It’s time for Oklahoma’s leaders to stand up to her bigotry and hold her accountable for her remarks.”

     HRC is calling on its members and supporters to keep the pressure up on Governor Fallin, Speaker Steele and President Pro Tempore Bingman, and to rally friends and family to join in taking action. For the latest, visit www.hrc.org/callitout.
