Debra Cassens Weiss reports at the ABA Journal:
[Judge Bill Graves] Oklahoma judge has taken aim at what he calls the “liberal, pro-homosexual American Bar Association” in a letter opposing a change in the state’s judicial conduct code . . .
The letter (PDF posted by the Oklahoman) contends the provision would provide even more protection to sexual orientation by barring judges from holding membership in groups that discriminate based on sexual orientation and other grounds.
Graves said the Oklahoma judicial code already bars judges from showing bias on the basis of sexual orientation and that such a provision “is promoting the homosexual agenda, which is to have homosexuality treated as normal and natural as heterosexuality. These are cultural, moral and political issues that should be reserved to the legislative branch.” . . .
