Phillip has endured harassment, physical assault and now vandalism to his apartment.
Under present Oklahoma law this is not classified as a hate crime. A recent Oklahoma senate bill SB 1965 will not allow Oklahoma law enforcement to comply with the Federal Department of Justice during an investigation of lgbt victims of violence.
