	"description": "On June 4, Mayor Mark Chambers of Carbon Hill posted appalling public comments on Facebook about LGBTQ people and reproductive rights. Feeling threatened by the way we live our lives and exercise our rights in this state, Chambers made his views perfectly clear: &quot;The only way to change it would be to kill the problem out. I know it’s bad to say but without killing them out there’s no way to fix it.” We take him at his word. In this state, where there are no statewide LGBTQ nondiscrimination protections, we don&#x27;t have the luxury of not taking threats to our safety seriously. As we enter Pride Season and celebrate all that our community has accomplished, it is important to remember that the fight for recognition and respect is still far from over. Alabama is and will continue to be a queer state, but when those who represent us feel comfortable to negate our humanity, we cannot stand by in silence. When it is still legal to discriminate against LGBTQ people in most places in the state, words like those Mayor Chambers has shared are not only offensive, but pose a real danger to the safety of our community.   LGBTQ people live in every community across the state--rural, urban, and suburban. This is our state, but those aren&#x27;t our values. No person who threatens community members with violence should be permitted to hold office in Alabama. Therefore, we demand Mayor Chambers resign and that city officials take active steps to protect LGBTQ residents.",
