TulsaWorld.com – By Shannon Muchmore – World Staff Writer

Community leaders on Thursday denounced state Rep. Sally Kern’s recent comments about homosexuality and asked legislators to respond by passing hate crimes legislation that encompasses sexual orientation and gender identity.

Nancy McDonald, the president of the Tulsa Chapter of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays also called on Kern, R-Oklahoma City, to make a public apology for saying she thinks homosexuality is “the biggest threat that our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam.”
