Last month, the City Council of Porterville, California, removed Mayor Virginia Gurrola and Vice Mayor Pete McCracken from office. There is overwhelming evidence suggesting this is due to Gurrola’s earlier proclamation that June be recognized as LGBT Pride Month in Porterville. Following her signing of the proclamation, Gurrola was subject to an extreme onslaught of religiously-motivated homophobia at city council meetings and elsewhere—attendees waved bibles in the air while screaming that homosexuals were “worthy of death.”
