Sally Kern was asked recently on a local TV news program what would she do if she had a gay son. She replied she would love him all the more as he would need it.Yet, Kern continues to insist that gays are more dangerous than terrorists or Islam.If there is a mother proclaiming to the world that gays are more dangerous than terrorists and Islam and hypothetically has a gay son, and in a public forum has said if she had a gay son she would love him all the more, she has a severe mental condition and has forfeited any resemblance of respect for her virulent views from any decent respectable person with any molecule of sense in their education.How can she proclaim a mother’s love for her own son, yet condemn the gay children of other mothers of America?Why does Sally Kern consider the love for her own children to be more definitive than the love other mothers have for their gay sons, and who don’t call them dangerous to our country?I’m not interested in the sexual orientation of Rep. Kern’s children, yet Kern is fascinated with the private lives of total strangers who have caused her no harm whatsoever. I am interested in her hypocrisy.People and organizations such as those that support Rep.Kern are desirous of only one thing and that is to control others in order to stamp out anything resembling “otherness”.Such a country, if they had their way would no longer be the democracy Kern claims to be defending, but rather a theocracy, devoted to the practice of religion, much like the Islamic countries Kern denounces as dangerous.

Do you not agree?
