Conference to Address State Question 711
This fall, Oklahomans will decide whether or not to change our state constitution to deny the benefits of marriage to any unmarried couple. State Question 711 goes on to define marriage as only between one man and one woman and prohibits legally recognizing any gay marriage that takes place anywhere else.
Before we vote, it is important to consider how this change will impact each and every one of us, gay and straight. It is a complex issue of rights, religion and equality.
On Saturday, October 2, we are going to talk about the implications of this controversial state question in the context of rights, religion and equality. A respected group of religious leaders, community leaders, attorneys and legislators will lead a day-long conference on this sensitive issue at Tulsa’s Downtown Doubletree Hotel.
Every Oklahoman should be educated on what State Question 711 really means to us as individuals and as a state. Join us on October 2 for an enlightening experience.
