'Confused It' Brittany Novotny's Saucy Response to Oklahoma's Sally Kern
http://www.queerty.com/confused-it-brittany-novotnys-saucy-response-to-oklahomas-sally-kern-20100914/With only 50 days left before the election, supporters of anti-gay Oklahoma State Rep. Sally Kern called her transgender opponent Brittany Novotony "a confused it". So Novotony issued a scathing response basically calling Kern an irresponsible extremist. It is a zinger alright, but why didn't Novotny do some other obvious things like apply for Lesbian and Gay Victory Fund support that could have put more queers in her corner?
According to Novotny she decided to forgo the Victory Fund to conduct her campaign without her opponent claiming that "out of state interests" had interfered in the election. To receive Victory Fund support, Novotny would also have had to made a case for her electoral viability in the state's 84th district, an allotment of time Novotny instead spent fundraising and building her constituent base.
