The supervisor of the Oklahoma House of Representatives' page program told pages to use private staff and member restrooms, and then in a follow-up email said that "there are cross-dressers" in the building, while an LGBT student group lobbied representatives. The Tulsa World reported on the emails, from program supervisor
Karen Kipgen, on Monday.
"As per the Speaker's office, Pages are being allowed access the ladies restroom across from 401, for today," Kipgen wrote. "Again, there are cross-dressers in the building."
The Tulsa World reported that the email was apparently prompted by a visit of roughly 70 LGBTQ students to the Capitol Building, sponsored by the group Oklahomans for Equality to lobby on behalf of what the paper described as HIV awareness and education funding and support.
Speaker Charles McCall (R) said in a statement obtained by the publication that "the email was not authorized by me, my staff or my office."

(4,156 posts)And my apologies to any intelligent, progressive folks in Oklahoma, as I KNOW you are there. . . . And furthermore, I grew up in a state that can probably come close to Oklahoma in terms of stupidity.
But still. . . . What the FUCK is wrong with people in Oklahoma? I know good Oklahomans are terrified of Shariah Law, and they sensibly passed an amendment to ban Shariah Law, as we ALL know that Oklahoma is in EXTREME danger of being overrun and having its citizens FORCED to convert to Islam! How terrifying!
