According to Oklahoma law sexual orientation is not protected under the hate crime statute(s).
David Schulte, a writer with Tulsa World reports;
Twice within the past week, Robert Stotler and his partner
have been targets of anti-gay messages at their Tulsa home.
About seven days ago, the message "Gays Must Go" was spray-painted on their garage door, and a symbol resembling a swastika, which is used by some white supremacist groups, was spray-painted on the side of their home.
Holes were punched in a friend's pickup's tires and the truck was set on fire while parked in Stotler's driveway.
The message "I'll be back" was spray-painted on both sides of the vehicle.
And back the person came.
A few days later, holes were punched in the front door of their home in the 11800 block of East 25th Street, and the message "Gay Go Away" was painted on it.
Stotler and his partner say they are victims of hate crimes, but police say they are not. Their reports call the crimes acts of vandalism or malicious mischief.
