Tulsa World editorial: “When Scary Met Sally”

They continue that brave tradition with today’s editorial on the Sally Kern controversy. Please join OkEq in thanking the Tulsa World for their continued commitment to human rights and a better future for Oklahoma by commenting below the story on their website and demonstrating that there is a voice in Oklahoma standing strongly against bigotry and intolerance.
