The Oklahoma State House heard a prayer from an openly gay Pastor of a United Church of Christ congregation last week to open their day of business.
The pastor was invited by a State Rep. who is a member of his congregation. Tradition has been that these prayers are entered into the record. Following the prayer, another member of the house (a Republican, as if that needs to be said) attempted to block the pastor’s remarks from being entered into the record.
Ironic that Republicans, who so often say Democrats are trying to muffle expressions of faith would try to silence a fellow Christian simply because he is gay…
