The power of the people Gay and Straight.
Troy mayor says she regrets using gay slur, asks forgiveness

Troy— Newly elected Mayor Janice Daniels said Monday she regrets using a gay slur in a Facebook post this past summer, a message that has made national headlines over the past couple of days.

Daniels told WXYT-AM (1270) she believes marriage should be between a man and woman, but admitted the post was inappropriate and asked forgiveness from residents.

"I absolutely do regret it, I shouldn't have used such language," she told radio host Charlie Langton. "While I do believe marriage should be between one man and one woman, it was inappropriate to use that language. It's a dictionary word, it's used in a TV show and in other contexts. It was inappropriate and I do apologize.

"It was meant to be a joke, silly, a funny thing."

I think the only thing she regrets is that it went national.

1. She was also trashing the State of NY
And that is apparently typical in the Detroit area. They made those 'We are the motor city' commercials that put down many other cities in an attempt to make their own look less awful. They lash out up there.
This ignorant woman is a picture of her constituents, hateful, ignorant, and nasty.
