Sally Kern targets LGBTs with 3 despicable bills
Good ol Sally Kern is at it again, filing no less than three pieces of legislation directly targeting LGBT Oklahomans, according to the Tulsa World. And with one of the three, she appears to be borrowing a page from Texas Rep. Cecil Bell Jr.
Kerns House Bill 1599 says that no taxpayer funds or governmental salaries can be used for the licensing or support of same-sex marriage:
No employee of this state and no employee of any local governmental entity shall officially recognize, grant or enforce a same-sex marriage license and continue to receive a salary, pension or other employee benefit at the expense of taxpayers of this state. No taxes or public funds of this state shall be spent enforcing any court order requiring the issuance or recognition of a same-sex marriage license.
Kerns bill also directs state courts to dismiss any challenge to the measure and award costs and attorney fees to the defendant. A judge who violates the act would be removed from office, according to the bill.
