US Constitution, Just a piece of paper and selectively upheld

Oklahoma Representative Sally Kern recently made very homophobic comments which she adamantly refuses to apologize for.

More Information Here

Highlights of her speech:
  • The homosexual agenda is destroying this nation
  • Not everybody’s lifestyle is equal. Just like not all religions are equal
  • I honestly think [homosexuality] the biggest threat, even in our nation. Even more so than terrorists, or Islam, okay.
  • I’m not anti, I’m not gay-bashing, but according to God’s word that is not the right kind of lifestyle. It has deadly consequences for those people involved in it.
  • They’re going after our young children, as young as 2 year of age, to try to teach them that the homosexual lifestyle is an acceptable lifestyle.
  • Gays are infiltrating city capitals [...] controlled by gays.
  • This stuff is deadly and it’s spreading and it will destroy our young people and it will destroy this nation.

Does everyone find it disturbing that someone picked to represent the US constitution spews such hateful and discriminatory words? She's actively calling for people to treat a part of society as inferior, calling to exclude them from public office, calling them worse than terrorism (you know, that thing that KILLED millions of people?).

What happened to equality? What happened to:

QUOTE
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.


What happened to learning that "separate but equal" is not really equal?

Do you think people who are elected to represent our Constitution are allowed to say such discriminatory words? Obviously, Kern would only uphold the Constitution for people who she deems fit her beliefs and the Bible's words. Does that make her unfit for her position?

I actually agree with her. Science, nature, and religion all can agree as well, that homosexuality is wrong. No offense to anyone.
