oklahoma republican house rep says gay is a choice, would not support anti-discrimination employment law

GOP Representative James Lankford of Oklahoma is questioned on Capitol Hill whether he would support a bill to ban employment discrimination against gay and lesbians workers.  He states that being gay is different from a race or gender, that it is a "choice issue" and he would not support protection of "behaviors".

Um... are we forgetting that religion IS a choice issue? And it is protected already - you are not born religious, but you are born with a sexual orientation.  He also contradicts himself stating that people have tendencies but simultaneously choose their orientations... which are somehow related to some type of behavior... not sure what that's about.
