Residents Seek Recall of Gay Texas Official, Citing 'Moral Standards'

[TexasTowelie]

GROVES — City Councilman Cross Coburn says a petition to recall him that was launched last week is rooted in homophobia.

Residents in the Beaumont suburb launched the petition after Coburn was outed in February when an anonymous mailer sent his nude photos from the gay dating app Grindr to City Hall.

The petitioners have until May 23 to collect 953 signatures, representing 10 percent of Grove’s registered voters, to force a vote on recalling Coburn, 19, who was elected to the City Council in November.

“My team and I have concluded that the petition is about my sexuality,” Coburn told OutSmart on Wednesday, May 9. “A supporter of the petition recently told a news organization that I don’t align with my city’s morals. That screamed homophobia to me.”

3. The petition will succeed. "If you don't sign, I will tell our neighbors, you don't like Jesus."

I hope it fails in the election.
