Oklahoma City Council Adds Sexual Orientation to Anti-Discrimination Statutes

The Oklahoma City Council voted today on an anti-discrimination measure. It passed 7-2.

The measure adds sexual orientation to the list of protected equal employment opportunity classes. In advocating for his measure, Oklahoma City Councilman Ed Shadid said his instinct as a businessman is to provide protection to everyone.

Tom Vineyard, pastor at Windsor Hills Baptist Church, said half of all murders in large cities are committed by gay people.

Of course he said that.

Nice job, Oklahoma City Council.
