It's Official. Oklahoma State Reps Absurdly Homophobic
Only one person in a same-sex couple would be recognized as a true parent of an adopted Oklahoma child under a bill approved Monday by the Oklahoma House.
Rep. Susan Winchester, R-Chickasha, wrote the bill. She said the measure is a response to Attorney General Drew Edmondson's March opinion that required the state to recognize adoptions in other states -- regardless of who the parents are.
Winchester said Monday that the bill would help persuade same-sex couples not to adopt Oklahoma children and would encourage children to be kept in traditional family homes.
House members voted 93-4 to approve the bill.
