Mayor of Hell, Michigan declares heterosexuality illegal, impeached immediately
.
Hell, Michigan is without a mayor today as the small, unincorporated town’s former chief official, Elijah Daniel, found himself impeached after issuing a proclamation declaring heterosexuality illegal.
Daniel, a satirist and author of a comedic erotic fiction starring the character of President Donald J. Trump, took official office yesterday. There are no elections for mayoral office in the unincorporated town that lies roughly halfway between Jackson, Michigan and Detroit. Rather, Daniel was able to temporarily assume office by giving town organizers a small fee.
“I was looking for a town willing to make me mayor,” Daniel told HuffPost. “They’ll do it in Hell for $100, so I caught a red-eye to Michigan and got sworn in.” Handily done.
It was almost immediately after his inauguration, however, that problems arose. Daniel took it upon himself to declare via social media that heterosexuality and practicing heterosexuals were banned from the burg, in a move that was clearly satirical, perhaps meant in jest and fully unenforceable.
