A Minnesota mayor is facing calls to resign after he asked pastors at a church holding a Pride event if there would be stripper poles in the sanctuary.
The Pride celebration included a service at Associated Church, festivities at a pavilion and a drag show after-party at the Owatonna Arts Center.In his public letter, Black said Kuntz spoke to pastors at the church about two weeks before the service. He said the mayor appeared to be upset and asked several “bizarre” questions, including whether there would be stripper poles in the sanctuary.
Black initially asked for the mayor’s immediate resignation, saying: “There is no place for homophobic bigotry in city government.” They are also asking Kuntz to appoint a member of Rainbowatonna’s board to the city’s human rights commission, among other measures.
