Gay Rights ‘Festivus Pole’ To Appear At Oklahoma Capitol

Florida man to display ‘Festivus Pole’ at Oklahoma Capitol
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A Florida man is planning a display in the Oklahoma Capitol rotunda based on a fictional holiday depicted in the popular 1990s sitcom “Seinfeld.”

Chaz Stevens will display his “Festivus Pole” next Wednesday in building’s first-floor rotunda near an existing display of giant nutcrackers and a sleigh laden with gifts.

Stevens says the 6-foot pole is wrapped in the colors of the gay pride rainbow flag and topped with a disco ball.

Stevens says the pole pays homage both to the television show and to gay rights.
