"Not everybody's lifestyle is equal," charges Kern, "just like not all religions are equal."

"According to God's word," she continues, "that is not the right kind of lifestyle. It has deadly consequences for those people involved in it."

In the speech, Rep. Kern charges that gays are "infiltrating" political offices, seeking to indoctrinate America's children through pro-gay legislation, gay-straight alliances and school curricula. She considers gays "the death knell for this country;" a threat larger than international terrorism.

"Or Islam," she adds, "which I think is a big threat."

Kern also compares the LGBT movement to "cancer in the big toe," making the comparison to say that the "gay agenda" must be rooted out before allowed to "spread."

"This stuff--it's deadly," she says, "and it's spreading, and it will destroy our young people. It will destroy this nation."

Now being criticized over the speech, spreading across the Internet after being posted online by the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund, Rep. Kern stands by her statements in the video clip below.
