Yes, she was fired for being a lesbian.
You sound like an imbecile, again.
Police Chief Crystal Moore was born and raised in this tiny farming crossroads and served as a volunteer police dispatcher while she was still in high school.
She became the town's first female officer with a sterling 23-year record on the force
— until she was ordered into the mayor's office this month and summarily fired.
....
But since the mayor was caught on tape condemning homosexuals, Moore and many Latta residents have come to believe she was fired because she is a lesbian.
...
Hours after Moore was fired, residents of the town of 1,350 people thronged to Town Hall, berating the mayor and demanding the reinstatement of the woman they call "Miss Crystal." The next day, more than 100 people staged a silent vigil in support of Moore.
At an emergency council meeting last week, nearly 200 residents, some carrying protest signs, descended on town officials to demand Moore's return. Two petitions seeking her reinstatement drew more than 500 signatures each. The Town Council gave Moore a 6-0 vote of confidence and has set a referendum vote for next month to strip the mayor of his firing authority and give it to the council, where a majority favors Moore's reinstatement. A website, Stand With Chief Crystal Moore, has so far raised $3,400 for her living expenses.
