Mayor G.T. Bynum wants Tulsa to be more like San Francisco.
Bynum, a registered Republican who governs like a liberal Democrat, issued an executive order last week to expand the special rights to homosexuals in Tulsa. Bynum championed additional rights for homosexuals while a city councilor and now he won’t miss an opportunity to extend special protections to people based on their sexual proclivities.
His latest order adds “gender identity” and “gender expression” to city policy to protect employees from “discrimination.” Like San Francisco, Tulsa’s nondiscrimination policy includes sexual orientation with the categories of race color, sex, religion, national origin or disability.
All of those other categories (except religion) are not by choice but by birth.
Bynum wants to make Tulsa a “world class” city and he thinks you can’t keep pace without extending special protection to people who practice homosexual sex.
Bynum is leading Tulsa down the wrong path in terms of morality.
And don’t expect any of the city councilors to call him on the carpet. After all, five of them dressed up and marched in Tulsa’s “gay pride parade.”
When will Tulsa voters wake up?
The liberals and progressives in Downtown and Midtown are a minority yet they have shanghaied city government. The Christian community is ignored and conservatives have no voice with the city (or the liberal news media).
This needs to change.
Conservative Christians in 2020 need to run for the Tulsa City Council and they need to run for mayor.
Tulsa should not be a hotbed for homosexuality. Shame on these city officials who promote it.
