Gay Senator Slams Removal Of Missouri Gay History Exhibit

A gay Missouri lawmaker is speaking out against the removal of an LGBTQ history exhibit from the Capitol.

Kansas City Democratic Sen. Greg Razer on Wednesday said the action shows that there's still discrimination against LGBT people in Missouri. The exhibit was only up for a few days before it was taken down. Republican lawmakers had questioned it.

The exhibit was later reopened in another state building blocks from the Capitol.
