The City Manager of my town is being fired over a sex change

[Tony_FLADEM]

LARGO - City commissioners ended one of the most tumultuous weeks in Largo history Tuesday night by moving to fire City Manager Steve Stanton following his disclosure that he will have a sex-change operation.

A total of 480 people packed City Hall for a four-hour meeting during which one activist was arrested after police told her not to hand out fliers.

After listening to about 60 speakers, mostly from Largo, a majority of commissioners said they had lost confidence in Stanton's ability to lead.

"His brain is the same today as it was last week," Commissioner Gay Gentry said. "He may be even able to be a better city manager. But I sense that he's lost his standing as a leader among the employees of the city."

1. That whole story is sad.

His 13 year old son found out before he could tell him because a city completely overreacts.

2. What a courageous person

The mayor of Largo seems like a really good person. And the St. Petersburg Times should be taken to task for their actions in outing him before he was ready!

3. GAY Gentry??

Is someone making this up?
