Ask your Oklahoma Senator to vote no on SB 197
By Jordan Redman
Staff Writer
SB 197, formerly known as the Oklahoma Right of Conscience Act, now called the Oklahoma Business Protection Act, will be heard Thursday in the Oklahoma Senate.
Proposed Sen. Joseph Silk (R) and co-authored by Josh Brecheen (R); both have a history of proposing anti-LGBT+ legislation.
The bill focuses "customized goods" which is defined as an "item designed specifically for an individual or individuals and not otherwise available in the ordinary course of business."
SB 197 ensures that no one has to provide services or "customized goods" used in or to promote “a marriage ceremony or celebration of a specific lifestyle or behavior.” Denials will be immune to any civil claim or governmental penalty.
This bill would be damaging to the LGBT+ community. The Gayly urges you to contact Oklahoma Senate members and ask them to vote no on SB 197.
