"A measure proposed by Ward 2 Oklahoma City Councilman Ed Shadid that extends employment discrimination protection in city offices to gay people passed Tuesday by a 7-2 vote."
Wow. This is great news for Oklahoma City, or at least for those employed by the city. I don't know if I'm more surprised that the vote was actually held or that the margin was so wide.
I think city leaders are finally starting to realize that in order to compete with bigger cities it's legislation like this that actually helps attract economic development. The state of Oklahoma may still be living in the Dark Ages; however, Oklahoma City itself seems to be making moves in the right direction.
So proud of my city and its council right now!

I'll bet Sally Kern is having a spitting fit right about now! I'd love to be a fly on that wall!
NICE job OKC!!
Yeah poor Sally! Too bad she ran for state Congress instead of the City Council... Oh wait, she lives in Bethany or Warr Acres, no?
I was just reading this article.
Great news for the OKC.
Sally Kern must be rolling over in her crypt.
