City Councilwoman Comes Out as Gay While Handing a Homophobic Bigot His Ass
The city of Minot, North Dakota raised an LGBTQ Pride flag last week as part of a proclamation recognizing June as Pride Month. The flag-raising was delayed until September because of the COVID pandemic.
It also ticked off a lot of angry homophobes who brought their complaints to the Minot City Council. But one bigot didnt expect to come up against Councilwoman Carrie Evans, who let the citizen have it.
Said Evans: So Mr. Walker, if youre not aware, and I think a lot of people in this room are not aware, and have come here just because this is a gay issue, I am proudly the first openly elected lesbian in North Dakota. So that is why I am not paying any heed to your crap!
The Dickinson Press reported that Evans sexual orientation was not previously known to the public.
We, the people. Im the people. I live in Minot. I am a taxpayer, Evans added, on a tear. I am a person. I get to see myself represented on that flagpole just as much as the people who got the Juneteenth flag last month, as much as the POW/MIA will get later this month.
