By now, many folks around the country have heard of my current representative in the Oklahoma legislature, Rep. Sally Kern.  Why have so many people heard of a state legislator from suburban Oklahoma City?  Probably because she has spent much of her five years in the legislature pushing a narrow social agenda, using her political position to preach a narrow-minded vision of religion that sees the movement of LGBT individuals seeking equal treatment under the laws of our great country as a bigger threat than terrorism.  (For example, see this and that).

Rep. Kern's actions have been so outrageous and garnered so much negative attention for Oklahoma that the most respected business newspaper in Oklahoma City, The Journal Record, published an editorial on July 8, 2009, that called Rep. Kern "bad for business" stating:
