2022 OK Senate race: on Civil Rights

James Lankford: Equality Act not about equality, prohibits disagreement

The Equality Act amends the 1964 Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation and gender identity. Some religious organizations object, saying it would force them to violate their convictions. "The Equality Act is not about equality," Lankford said. "It's about imposing and prohibiting disagreement." Source: Tulsa World on 2022 Oklahoma Senate race Jun 20, 2021

Joan Farr: Against gay marriage & others laws favoring a small minority

Marriage is between a man and a woman, so I can't condone this sin. LGBTQ people represent only 4.5% of the total population, and although I believe in 'live and let live,' we should not be passing " laws that favor a small minority.
