Progressive activist apologizes after calling gay city councilor a "hissy b***h"

A Michigan activist has apologized after calling a gay city councilor a “hissy bitch” during an online talk show. It isn’t the first time he’s been involved in a back-and-forth with a councilor, but the last time the shoe was on the other foot.

Michael Lynn Jr., the co-leader of the Lansing Black Lives Matter group, filed a complaint with the city’s Board of Ethics after councilor Brandon Betz called Lynn a “dickbag troll” and a “weak ass bitch.”

Lansing City Council President Peter Spadafore accepted Lynn’s apology, but expressed his disappointment to local news.

“It’s a shame that in 2021 members of the LGBTQ community still face these kinds of attacks, especially from someone who purports themselves as a community leader,” Spadafore said. “I’ve heard every homophobic insult in the book and I can certainly take it, but far too many youth take their lives as part of this pattern of toxic masculinity. This type of vitriol is clearly offensive.”
