Okla. Lawmaker Wants Gays Barred from National Guard

A right-wing state representative in Oklahoma who's not Sally Kern wants to bar gays, lesbians, and bisexuals from serving in his state's National Guard.

Republican Mike Reynolds is pushing a bill that would make "don't ask, don't tell" look forward-thinking. It would allow government officials to directly question someone about their sexual orientation and exclude those who are LGBT, according to the Human Rights Campaign.

opponents to equality. All along the way - some well funded, some larger than others, but pockets of resistance to a growing call / recognition of equality. You would think they could see the writing on the wall, but who knows. Ultimately, time is on our side, imo.

First they protect us from the 15 Muslims in the state with the idiotic "Sharia Law" protection, now this.

Some of these people need to get a damn life.
