Gay couple sues small town officials who condoned months of attacks on their family
(https://i.imgur.com/vLY2wvd.jpg)
A gay man filed a federal suit in Oklahoma, claiming that his family was the object of verbal abuse, vandalism, and arson in an attempt to get him to leave town.
Randy Gamel-Medler, 59, and his husband moved to Hitchcock, Oklahoma, in 2016 with their seven-year-old son. Gamel-Medler is white and his son is African American.
Gamel-Medler says that he immediately got involved in town politics, befriended locals, and became town clerk. He believes that taking a position in local government, though, made him a target. ?I think once I became clerk, and they found out they had a queer clerk with a black kid running the city, it just drove them crazy and they couldn?t take it,? Gamel-Medler told the Associated Press.
His complaint alleges that he was first threatened in September last year when a town trustee, upon learning that Gamel-Medler?s son is African American, asked, ?What?s going to happen when your house burns down and we don?t send out the fire trucks??
Earlier this year, he says that he was clearing an obstruction from the road when he got called a ?fucking queer? by a woman who was trying to enter his car. When she realized the car was locked, she shouted, ?I?m going to grab your little boy, rip his n***er head off, and shit down his throat.?
In both instances, Gamel-Medler says that the sheriff?s department refused to take a report and cited free speech concerns to explain why the car incident wasn?t criminal.
He also says that people threw gravel at his house and that someone posted a sign outside the post office that said, ?the town clerk is a fucking queer.?
On May 28, Gamel-Medler?s house burned down after he heard the sound of glass breaking in the garage. Even though the fire department is located one block away from his home, there was no response until the house had burned down. He says that several of his neighbors ? including the police chief ? got lawn chairs and watched his house burn down.
Blaine County Undersheriff David Robertson said that Gamel-Medler was the real ?bully? here and that he constantly accused town officials of wrongdoing. Robertson also suggested to the AP that Gamel-Medler may have started the fire himself.
?We don?t take too kindly to being called racist and homophobic, because we?re not,? Robertson said, who appears more concerned with being called racist and homophobic than with fighting racism and homophobia.
?When our family moved to the town of Hitchcock in rural Oklahoma we thought we were buying our last house, we wanted to know our neighbors by their first names and grow old together, but we were soon met with hatred, suspicion, and discrimination,? Gamel-Medler said. ?We were terrorized, murder threats were made against our seven year-old African-American son. Town officials conspired to run us out of office, all while local law enforcement ignored our pleas for help. We are now left with the last 27 years of our life literally erased. What do we do now??

tha worse groupa straight ppl there is
wen we starts eliminatin em, tha whites r tha firs to go
Yeah this story is made up
Why the FCK would his stupid ass rent a blck child and move to Hitchcock fckn Oklahoma
Is he DUMB? What did he expect and why was no proper precautions taken beforehand :uhh:
That child needs to be removed from that home.
I'm not gonna adopt a kid and immediately move somewhere that puts him in danger!
And that's meth capital of the US so iono why the fck a black child was allowed to be adopted THERE.
There's nothing fckn out there. I'm furious. I would've taken that little boy. He don't need to be in no fckn Hitchcock around them crackers.
That's what I try to explain to these new age blacks in their big cities with their BLM signs marching down downtown streets. It's two America's and Country town USA hasn't changed one BIT.
The story is definitely believable. But they asked for this. Stupidity.
Hitchcock, Oklahoma? It even sounds racist :dead:

!!!!!! :plzstop: :plzstop:
Honestly, they're not black
You cant expect them to understand the black experience or even relate to it especially since they're old white men
They probably thought being gay made them minorities and thus they'd seen it all
But the police chief showed them WTF was up when he got his beer and lawn chair and watched his house burn the fck down lolz

this type of family doesn't belong somewhere in the middle of fucking Oklahoma.
if ur gonna adopt a child of color AND be gay at the same time, have the brains to move somewhere like NYC and San Fran.

They might as well go for the trifecta and put on a lil' Muslim gear

I was thinking the same.
The word I think is most applicable to them is NAIVE.
To think they'd bring a black boy to whitey town and expect some sort of circle of life mess to occur...

yeah, i mean, to me it kinda proves that theyre honestly open minded people. they really thought 'woo! we'll move here with our black bby and life will be fine <3'
it obviously doesnt mean shit regarding them understanding WTF black people go through
but they cant be faulted for that imo
as long as they get that bby outta there, thats all that matters
white people adopting black kids will always look weird to me tbh

I just think they're irresponsible and out of touch with reality.
These white gay couples get their hands on these Black kids for adoption because they'd be waiting for a chilly day in hell to be given a White one.
I get it. The child now has a home and that's ultimately what matters. But make better decisions. The judge should definitely call them out on their seemingly naive outlook on the way things work in the real world and they shouldn't get a dime. This is their fault. Period.
no
thats like saying if a black family moves into a white neighborhood they shoulda " made better decisions" and moved to an upper class black neighborhood to avoid being called nigger by their white neighbors
NO you SHOULD be able to be who you are and live where you want.

Well technically you can. You have every right
I have every right to move into a neighborhood that I know is drenched with KKK members. They can't stop me from moving in. :plea:
How comfortable my stay will be is another story.
DEATH !!! i mean when you lived in SC thats basically how you were living and you made it out alive :letsmessfag:
