At yesterday night's Council meeting Mr. Straw, a Republican candidate for Borough Council requested that Media Borough celebrate pride month in 2019 by including a proclamation in its June agenda. Straw, who is openly gay, said that he thought it would be nice to recognize the LGBTQ community and Pride Month in 2019
Even now it can sometimes be risky be out and open, thank you Mr. Straw for being out and proud!
ReplyDeleteRepublicans recognizing the gay community, interesting concept. Perhaps we are finally starting to see this going away as an issue. Regardless this is a wonderful idea and kudos to Straw for requesting this. He's certainly giving me something to think about for November.
ReplyDeleteBe out and PROUD!
ReplyDeleteExcellent to see! We need more diversity!
ReplyDeleteHe might be one of the few Republicans that I could vote for!
ReplyDeleteLove ALWAYS wins!
ReplyDeleteDon't let hate win! I'd love to have an LGBTQ person on Council!
ReplyDeleteThank god there is a Republican running this year.
ReplyDeleteThings actually happening in Council meetings this year! And it is taking Non-Councilmembers to shake it up!
ReplyDeleteFinally, the people there right now are lame!
DeleteEh, not impressed, and don't care about his sexuality. How is this relevant?
ReplyDeleteIf you watched any of the previous council meetings you'd find he's a pretty sharp fellow, even in the meeting this post is talking about he had important questions about the Olive St. Parking Deck. Sure he didn't have to talk about his sexuality, but it ties nicely to why he wanted to ask for a proclamation for Pride Month. Good for him. I'll be voting for him tomorrow!
DeleteVote Straw!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are all winners!!!
ReplyDeleteNo doubt this will upset your readers who hate the Hate has no home here sign owners..
ReplyDeleteThis is actually great for us. This guy likely hates the "hate has no home" signs, a man who likely has opposing views to those individuals who is a part of society that they claim to be standing up for with those ridiculous signs.
DeleteHe's correct, but still massively unworthy of support as a candidate. His supports clearly ID Straw as part of their MAGA group. No thanks.

This article clearly contradicts the idea of him being a "maga" supporter. I think that twitter handle wants to support Republicans in general, no one can stop people from tweeting so your excuse seems petty.

What the heck does Trump or MAGA have to do with any of the issues related to Media Borough?
ReplyDeleteExactly yet some will literally find any excuse to not consoder someone even if they will probably improve the town
DeleteVoted for him on Tuesday and I'll vote for him in November!
