| Tom Woods, a 28-year-old Republican, Does he look a little gay to you? |
An Oklahoma state senator referred to the LGBTQ community as 'filth,' adding that his constituents would fight to keep them out of their 'religious' and 'moral' state.
Tom Woods, a 28-year-old Republican representing Senate District 4, appeared on a panel during the February 23 Legislative Update, sponsored by the Tahlequah Area Chamber of Commerce.
Audience member Cathy Cott inquired about the state legislature's attempts to impede the rights of LGBTQ people before referring to the case of Nex Benedict.
Benedict, a 16-year-old nonbinary teen who used they/them pronouns, died following an attack by other students at their high school earlier this month.
Woods conceded that his 'heart goes out' regarding the teen's death before continuing: 'We are a Republican state - a supermajority - in the House and Senate. I represent a constituency that doesn’t want that filth in Oklahoma.'
