CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES SHOW INTEREST IN GLBT VOTE
I've received information from the
Oklahoma Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus which I hope bodes well for GLBT constituents in Oklahoma City's Ward 2. 2 of the candidates for that seat in the upcoming City Council election will be speaking at the next 2 meetings of OGLPC. Susan Johnston will speak at the Feb 10 meeting and Sam Bowman will speak at the Mar 10 meeting. Bowman is known to be the personal favorite of current Ward 2 councilperson Amy Brooks, who is not seeking reelection. OGLPC's announcement is now online at www.gayokc.com/oglpc020403.htm.
In a related story, 2 OGLPC members - co-chair Paul Thompson and Internet committee chair Jim Nimmo - will be participating in one of the panel discussions following performances of The Laramie Project at the University of Central Oklahoma later this month. They will be joining state senator Bernest Cain and attorney Janet Halliburton at the Fri, Feb 21 performance.

ANTI-GAY BILLS IN OK LEGISLATURE
Rep Graves is at it again, demonstrating that he has every intention of continuing to pursue his campaign of promoting homophobia in this year's session of the Oklahoma legislature. Graves has introduced 2 bills that would deny Gay parents the custody of their children and the right to adopt. Cimarron Alliance Group president Paul Bashline's press release is now online at
