Attendees of a city council meeting in the town of Minot, North Dakota got a show they didn’t anticipate last week, as councilwoman Carrie Evans came out of the closet during the meeting to push back against an angry homophobe.Minot had opted to raise a Pride Flag this month in celebration of the city’s queer residents.
The flag was originally scheduled to run up the flagpole in June, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Of course, raising the Pride Flag also triggered the town’s homophobes, who came to the meeting to air their complaints.
