Oklahoma Senate Race

The Republican Senate candidate in Oklahoma warns of "rampant" lesbianism in some schools in the state in a tape released Monday by his Democratic opponent. Coburn went on to say that it was so bad that they'll only let one girl go into the bathroom at a time. The remark by Republican Tom Coburn drew a skeptical response from state educators.

"I don't believe that," said Keith Ballard, executive director of the Oklahoma State School Boards Association.

John Hart, spokesman for Coburn, said the remark was made during a broader discussion about the challenges parents face in society "where our kids are getting mixed messages about sexuality."

My opinion: Society has presented itself to the student population. We have a choice now, or we have the power to make the choice exist. People are making the choice to be gay or lesbian. I would compare it to people making the choice to fight for women's suffrage. Because of the nature, I think it does little good to stand up and say people should not be gay. However, I don't mind it if people express their view that marriage will always be between a man and a woman.
