"Don't Say Gay" bill harms LGBTQ Oklahomans

[On 'Don't Say Gay' education bill]: "There is harm that will be done to our teachers and what happens in our classrooms. But most importantly, it harms LGBTQ Oklahomans," Munson said. "I think you, Mr. Speaker, deep in your heart and your soul, you know that has a negative impact on friends that we know, people we love, people in our lives. I have friends who are teachers who are in same-sex marriages. I have friends who have adopted children. They should be able to talk about their families."
