US Constitution, Just a piece of paper and selectively upheld Options

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

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:

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?

paperplane, it was more about you know... people like that who are suppose to represent the constitution but they say things like that. But okay. Anything goes.

Topgun74, I guess you agree with about 5 decades ago? Interracial marriages were wrong? Or a black and white person together wasn't natural?

Roy and Silo, two male chinstrap penguins at New York's Central Park Zoo have been inseparable for six years now. They display classic pair-bonding behavior—entwining of necks, mutual preening, flipper flapping, and the rest. They also have sex, while ignoring potential female mates.

"The homosexual behavior that goes on is completely baffling and intriguing," says National Geographic Ultimate Explorer correspondent, Mireya Mayor. "You would have thought females that want to be mated, especially over their fertile period, would be seeking out males."

Homosexuality has existed throughout history and many different cultures of the world. The percentages of the population that is homosexual has remained surprising consistent (which means it's not a trend or a fad).

Concordant studies of identical twins and fraternal twins show a significant difference between the two sets for homosexuality. The chance of both identical twins being gay is a lot higher than the chance of both fraternal twins being gay.
