Revise obscenity bill to protect minors without discrimination

To: Sen. Hicks

From: A constituent in Oklahoma City, OK

May 1, 2025

This bill aims to prohibit certain obscene acts involving minors and criminalize the public display of offensive sexual content. However, the language used risks perpetuating discrimination and harm against the LGBTQ+ community. I urge you to oppose this bill, as it fails to strike a fair balance in protecting children while upholding the human dignity and civil rights of all people. Public policies must safeguard minors without demonizing or marginalizing vulnerable populations like the LGBTQ+ community. Rather than explicitly targeting certain performers or expressions, a more nuanced approach with clear definitions of inappropriate exposure is needed. Open and respectful dialogue is essential to find solutions that make communities safer for everyone.
