Making A[nother] Wild Guess...

During an interview last week, Rep. James Lankford (R-OK) told ThinkProgress that he doesn’t believe that LGBT people should be protected from being fired because of their sexual orientation.

But yesterday, Lankford went on Oklahoma local television to say that we misrepresented his comments. According to Lankford, he wasn’t saying employers should be allowed to fire someone for being gay — just that being gay is a choice and LGBT people should not be protected from workplace discrimination. Did you notice the distinction? Neither did we.

  Think Progress
Rep. James Lankford (R-not-OK) is gay, isn't he?

Previous wild guess.
