Oklahoma LGBT Kids Left Traumatized After State Capitol Staff Warned ‘Cross-Dressers Are In the Building’Oklahoma students are reported to have been traumatized during a visit to the state House of Representatives after the Page Program Supervisor sent an email to staff warning of “cross-dressers in the building.”
The Page Program is for high school students who are interested in serving in the House to help elected officials.
Oklahomans for Equality, Planned Parenthood and a number of HIV/AIDS advocacy groups were visiting the Capitol as part of an education advocacy day.
Prior to the visit, Page Program Supervisor Karen Kipgen sent a Capitol-wide email reading:
“As per {House Speaker Charles McCall’s} office, Pages are being allowed access to the ladies restroom across from 401, for today. Again, there are cross-dressers in the building.”
