OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) —Gay rights advocates in Oklahoma on Monday celebrated the demise of more than two dozen bills in the Oklahoma Legislature this year that they say unfairly discriminate against members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
   
All 27 bills that were targeted as discriminatory against the constitutional rights of LGBT people failed to advance after a key deadline passed last week, said Troy Stevens, director of the gay rights group Freedom Oklahoma.

Love it! 27 discrimination bills go down.
