WILL REP. ROSS
RESSURRECT HATE CRIMES BILL?
According to a story written by Ray
Carter for GIT, Inc, a private legislative news company,
State Representative Don Ross won't reintroduce his Hate
Crimes Bill if he thinks the governor will veto it. Ross,
D-Tulsa, is quoted in the story as saying that, while he
continues to believe that Hate Crimes protections for
Gays and Lesbians is an important issue, he doesn't want
to burden his fellow lawmakers with having to vote on a
bill if the governor is sure to veto it, particularly in
an election year. Ross says he wants to approach the
governor about the possibility of a compromise before he
pushes a new hate crimes bill. Doing so won't be easy, in
light of the criticism Ross gave Gov Keating last year
when Keating vetoed a Senate Hate Crimes Bill. Ross
accused Keating of being insensitive to prejudice. Ross
says the governor's attitude will determine whether a
hate crimes bill is made a priority this year.
DAILY
OKLAHOMAN FINDS "PARTNER
BENEFITS STILL CONTROVERSIAL"
A story printed in the Sunday
Oklahoman last weekend found that, though some national
companies who do business here offer domestic partnership
benefits, no local Oklahoma company would own up to doing
so. Oklahoma business writer Greg Potts interviewed
people from local activist Karen Parsons and Human Rights
Campaign spokesperson Daryl Herrschaft to the Family
Research Council's Bob Knight. The story is still online
at the Oklahoman's
website. CLICK

OKLAHOMA GAY AND
LESBIAN POLITICAL CAUCUS PREPARES FOR MARTIN LUTHER KING

help out will be welcome! OGLPC's January General meeting
is Monday, 7PM at The Center, 2135 NW 39th Street. For
more info call 524-2131. OGLPC's website is at www.geocities.com/oglpc.
