“Answers” And More Questions In Very Queer Kern Case

Sally Kern’s ears must be on fire, because we just can’t stop talking about her! First came the Oklahoma lawmakers infamous rant and then we had that whole “first amendment” debate. The juiciest story of all came yesterday, when we looked into rumors that Kern and her husband, Dr. Steve Kern, had and hid a homo son, Jesse.

Dr. Kern, who’s a Baptist preacher, issued a statement to squash those gay rumors - and perpetuate some others. It’s actually very clever:


Our son is not gay. We would still love him if he was, but that would not change the fact that homosexuality is a chosen life style and that we would pray for our son to have a change of heart. My heart goes out to the many parents who have lost sons to AIDs (sic) and other STDs. Those kinds of deaths are tragic because they could have been avoided.

Ah, yes, we gay folk are simply crawling with infection! We practically are AIDS!

Meanwhile, more internet chatter led us to the Oklahoma State Courts Network, a beautiful internet archive of the state’s criminal records. And guess what we found?! Three - count ‘em, three! - cases against a man named Jesse Jacob Kern, who may or may not be related to Sally and Steve Kern, who just happen to have a son named Jesse.

The first Kern case involved some attempted oral sodomy and went down, so to speak, on March 27, 1989. That charge was dismissed by request of the state on June 9, 1989. What’s most interesting, however, is that this Mr. Kern just happened to be in court on that same day on a charge of trying to “obtain money by false pretenses,” whatever that means. Kern also stepped up to a driving under suspension charge. He was convicted of both on October 10, 1989.

That must have been a hard year for this Jesse Jacob Kern - and his parents are definitely to blame!

1. I don't know about the son.

He obviously has some personal issues.

But God...automatically equating gay sons with "AIDs" and sexually transmitted diseases. Pure ignorance.

It looks like this story isn't going to end anytime soon. Mrs. Kirn seems to have stepped into a big pile of shit.

2. It wouldn't surprise me if he was gay.

Phyllis Schlafly.

Alan Keyes.

Newt Gingrich.

Dick Cheney.

That dude from the Schiavo fiasco whose name is escaping me right now.

If there's any pattern that emerges for me, it's that the ones who are more publicly anti-gay tend to have gay children or family members.

3. Father Frank Pavone.

i cannot believe i remembered that name.

5. Great memory.

But not the guy I was thinking of.

The guy I'm trying to remember is another famous "pro-life" activist who had adopted two children and has disowned both, one for being gay. I remember him playing the guitar and singing an original song at her service.

6. Randall Terry.

My Uncle Leroy.

Okay, so he's not famous, but it's my family's little example.

4. further proof of my theory that Republicans would eat their young

if they thought it would further their political career.

Hope he turns out ok (physically and emotionally) in spite of his screwed up mother.
