Two officials on the Hamtramck Human Relations Commission have been removed after the city council discovered that they had violated a law prohibiting the flying of the LGBT Pride flags on city property. The Hamtramck city council is made up entirely of Muslims and I wonder how long it will be before Democrats and the lamestream press labels them as white supremacists. If as the Democrats claim Hispanics and Blacks can be white supremacists, why not Muslims?
Last month the city council passed a bill banning LGBT and pride flags from city property, but Democrats Russ Gordon and Cathy Stackpoole of the human relations commission exerted their liberal privilege to flaunt the law. As a result, they were shown the door and then pushed through it. Muslims consider homosexuality to be a sin and they do not want their children exposed to it. Gordon and Stackpoole decided to push the envelope and break the law. They were fired for their efforts to force their religion on the Muslims.
Council member Khalil Refai told Fox News in a statement:
“This Council believes in fairness, neutrality towards our residents, and the rule of law, amongst other things for this community. We passed a resolution recently to do just that, and two of our sworn commissioners outright defied it, and did what they wanted.”
“We were elected by the people of the community to make these decisions, and they not only violated the resolution but the trust of the whole community by doing this. For this reason, Council felt the appropriate response was to remove them from their public positions of trust.”
The resolution said:

The human relations commission is supposed to encourage “tolerance,” “multiculturalism,” and “constructive communication.”
The city of about 28,000 near Detroit has a history of conflicts over LGBT ideology. As far back as 2008, conservative Christians in the community joined with the local Muslim community to oppose a city ordinance that would include the LGBT community as a protected group.
The resolution to ban ideological flags from the Michigan city’s property was introduced in June by Councilman Mohammed Hassan.
The issue of the “Pride” flag has divided communities across the country, especially in some school districts where teachers have been found to be promoting gender ideology and encouraging students to “transition.”
A county board of education in Maryland narrowly rejected a proposal this week that would have banned the display of all non-governmental flags, which would include Pride and Black Lives Matter (BLM) flags.
On Wednesday, the Anne Arundel County Board of Education voted 4-3 to reject a policy banning the display of all non-governmental flags on school property.
