Someone might have caught "the ghay" from those infected letters or something.

Oklahoma should be promoted to tourists as the state you gotta come here to believe the bizarre stories that come out. Much of it is due to the far right Christian culture that has been in place since Oklahoma became a state in 1907. One of the first official state acts was to ban alcohol.

To clarify things, the Satanist wasn't critical of the bill because it abolishes Oklahoma issuing marriage licenses. Instead, he just wanted satanic officiants/priests added to the list of people entitled to perform "religious" marriages under the statute.

Many Christian right Republicans in Oklahoma want the issuing of marriage licenses limited only to Christian and Jewish ministers handing them out. Everybody else, such as Muslims and atheists who don't want to get married that way would have to get a common law marriage.

Much ado about not much of anything.
The reason the building was locked down was that the envelopes were deemed "suspicious" by somebody who had the responsibility of security.
Once it was determined that there were no harmful substances in the envelopes, everything returned to "normal".
the letter and who sent it apparently had nothing to do with the security alert.
the content of the letter, referring to homosexuals and other religions had nothing to do with the security alert.
there have been similar security alerts all across the country in the past, especially when letters were dusted with whole wheat flour!
