Oxford Pride said community feels ‘unsafe’ after anti-2SLGBTQAI+ rant at council meeting
Norwich’s township’s mayor is apologizing for how this transpired and said it is “troubling” that it made some people at the meeting feel unsafe.“I have to apologize to everybody within the area. I just really feel bad about everything that happened, and it’s done. I can’t undo what’s done, but I can do my best to make sure that it doesn’t happen again,” Larry Martin said.
“To my knowledge, I have not cut anybody off as a delegation in eight years as the mayor,” Martin said. Kennedy is a part of the Facebook group called Norwich residents for Love and Acceptance and said some of the members from that group formed a citizens group in response to what happened.
