Celebrating Pride Month: Adam Graham, gay mayor, terrorized out of office



Adam Graham, the youngest and first gay mayor of The Village, Oklahoma, resigned after only two months in office because he become the target of threats that were getting more violent.  Graham, elected in May 2022, sent a letter to the city manager that he had been followed home from meetings, threatened while walking his dog, and his tires had been slashed.

He said it had been a "great privilege to break boundaries", but he no longer felt safe to serve as mayor.

Terrorism and hate win again.
