Supreme Court is going to have to clear this up.

It's a shame that the bigots hate our military and Murica.

The Ft. Hood and Navy Yard shooters were both breeders.  Perhaps banning straights from military would boost morale.

Nice to know that Oklahoma is still one of the worst places on Earth.

...And the good people of Oklahoma will continue to elect politicians lecturing us to "support our troops."

I guess "support our troops" is an empty slogan for some.

It's really a lose lose situation a lot of times in Oklahoma politics. There are two types of Oklahoma Democrats: Brad Henry DLC centrists, and super conservacrats, and DLC centrists can barely win anymore, and the super conservacrats probably would vote with Republicans on this issue.

Anyways this is really awful, and I have already dedicated myself to not voting for Mary Fallin EVER.

Man,  Mary Fallin. I should have cut in front of her in the check out line at Walgreens when I had the chance.

There are reasonable Republicans in Oklahoma. They just are damn terrible campaigners.

More of the same nonsense, surprising to no one, etc. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that for every forum thread on Oklahoma political news for the time being, most of us will be able to find a use for a stock response of this general form and save time:

"Yes, Oklahoma leadership is a joke on this particular issue. It has been for a good while, and it will continue to be for a good while more. The end."

How many married gay people are there in the OK guard? I'm betting not that many.

My favourite part was her blaming it on The Will of The People™. These governors just want to make it as hard as possible to be a gay couple in America now that they know they're losing. Good thing, though, is that they are losing. Not that they haven't been losers all along.

I don't know but you shouldn't make assumptions based on geography.

Jesus Christ, is the state really that religious/conservative? I would love to live in the state for economic and cultural reasons, but this stuff just puts a Sad on my face. I didn't think the state was Mississippi, but truly is truly a shame. This is especially dangerous in Texas, because will a solid state, isn't nearly as safe as Oklahoma.

Oklahoma, at least in this case, makes my state seem positively enlightened.

And "Matress Mary" Fallin who cheated on her husband and has a daughter who does slutty photo shoots in front of the governor's mansion thinks she's a defender of marriage and morality.

Not surprising, given it's Oklahoma.

You know, for once I'm glad that we elect our Adjutant General. Haley has no authority over personnel decisions for the Guard here, so even if she feels like getting involved, she can't.

"Support our troops" was just code for "Let Bush warmonger"

It's red meat for the base. They know they're losing on this issue, but there's still political mileage to be gained on it in places like Oklahoma, so they'll drag it out as long as they can.

Basically this, one of the single biggest HP's in America right now.

Yeah, I've never seen a thread about Oklahoma on here that's positive, politically or otherwise.

Sorry. :/
