Members of an LGBTQ+ group are calling on the mayor of a southern Minnesota city to meet their demands - or resign - after he asked pastors at a church holding a Pride event if there would be stripper poles in the sanctuary and posted a public prayer alluding to “sin and brokenness” at the event.
They are also asking Kuntz to appoint a member of Rainbowatonna’s board to the city’s human rights commission, among other measures.
“If he meets these demands, and we’re hopeful that he will, then we would withdraw that request” for his resignation,But in a public response, Kuntz said to Black: “I did what I thought was the right thing to do.” He added: “My intent was not to harass or intimidate anyone. My words were my own and not those of the City. I try each day to follow my own faith and beliefs, but I also recognize other people have the right to follow their own faith and beliefs too. … Please accept my apologies.”, who has been mayor since 2004, said he reached out to Black and offered to talk through the issue.
