Stateline: "Unresolved"

OETA's 30-minute documentary on being gay in Oklahoma, which premiered Wednesday night, actually hit one out of the park. I was stunned that not half, not 25%, but none of the time was wasted showing fundamentalists railing against the homos in the name of "balance."

Oklahomans might have thought they ended the debate with the overwhelming approval of state question 711, a "defense of marriage" admendment, in November, 2004.

Some of those who felt targeted by SQ711 have left the state. Others say they will stay and become a political force.

The June edition of Stateline examines some of the issues--of fairness, family, and the law - which remain Unresolved.

It airs again on June 26 (the day of the OKC Pride Parade) and on June 28. Be sure to catch it. It's enough to make me reconsider Why I don't contribute to OETA.
