Oklahoma State Rep. Sally Kern

Since we don't have t.v. and I'm not a religious YouTuber, I just recently found out about Sally Kern's insaaane remarks (tell me...exactly which societies have disappeared after embracing homosexuality....??) and am totally at a loss for words. How offensive on so, so, SO many levels. To homosexuals, to Muslims, to hopefully anyone with a conscience. I'm so tired of people, especially freaking ELECTED OFFICIALS, being so unexcusably ignorant. At least once a week or more I'll hear people using "that's so gay" and people accuse me of melodrama when saying that's just as bad as using the N-word. Someone told me Suffolk County is one of the worst places to live if you're gay or black or anything that's not disgustingly mainstream. The anxieties I have about living in this place, and my desire to leave, is eroding the layers of my stomach. I feel so anxious about living here that it sometimes takes all I have to get up in the morning after remembering where I am.
