If this court said it's not against the law it simply means as the current laws read this is not a crime. Solution? petition the state legislature to amend the law so the courts can make a guilty judgement if one of these cases are brought before it.
I have to say I agree with Drich, on this one.
Oklahoma is known for a myriad of barbaric and anachronistic laws, this being among them.
Remember, this is the state that tried to get around the Lawrence v. Texas ruling in 2004 by saying their state had a State's Interest (a loophole in the Lawrence case, which allows the state to regulate otherwise private behavior if there is a "government interest" at stake) in "public morality" which allowed them to continue arresting gay people for sodomy.
It didn't last long under scrutiny, but it does give you a little insight into how Oklahoma lawmakers think.

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
