WATCH: Oklahoma Representative Introduces 3 Extremely Anti-LGBT Bills, Bonus: Ellen Tries Calling Her 6 Years Ago

January 23, 2015

Oklahoma Representative Sally Kern is notorious for her anti-gay rhetoric including her infamous line that "homosexuals" were "more dangerous than terrorism." So, it is no surprise that she has introduced three extraordinarily discriminatory measures in the state legislature that would permit the unfair and harmful treatment of LGBT people and their families. The bills seek to prevent the freedom to marry, promote dangerous gay conversion "therapy," and allow any business to deny service to LGBT people.

Watch News 9's report on the matter below, and then heal yourself with laughter by watching Ellen Degeneres's  attempt to call Sally up on the phone a few years back.
