Oklahoma OK?
Gay City News

Oklahoma - at least
Oklahoma City - is
getting a reputation as
an intolerant place in
light of the anti-gay
tirades of State
Representative Sally
Kern, who calls
homosexuality a worse
threat to America than
terrorism. But the
Advocate just named
Tulsa as one of the "top
five emerging cities for
gays and lesbians" and
found, using census data
compiled by the Williams
Institute, that it had
7.74 same-sex couples
per 1,000 households in
2006, ranking 46th in
the nation - up from
number 77 in 2000.
The other cities
making big jumps in the
same-sex couple
department were Plano,
Fort Wayne, Anchorage,
and Jacksonville.
