OK Advances Ban On Pride Flags On State Property

Oklahoma City’s NPR affiliate reports:

A ban of LGBTQ Pride flags on state property is advancing in the Oklahoma legislature. The bill – called the “Patriotism not Pride Act” – would bar state agencies from displaying gay Pride flags on their grounds, and would also prohibit state resources from being used to endorse Pride activities through flyers or even on social media. Moore Republican Kevin West is the sponsor of House Bill 3217. He says it’s necessary to prevent state funds from going to the promotion of Pride events.

Read the full article. West last appeared here in January 2023 for his bill that would make it a felony to perform drag in the view of minors. His bill called for a $20,000 fine and up to two years in prison. He first appeared here in April 2021 when Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed his bill making it legal to run over protesters.
