A local GOP delegate is calling for the resignation of Dave Agema, who earlier this week posted a controversial article on his Facebook page calling homosexuality “filthy,” the Record-Eagle reported Friday:
Traverse City resident and Grand Traverse County Republican precinct delegate Dennis Lennox, 28, called the post “deplorable and indefensible.”
“This isn’t about what we believe politically or as men and women of faith,” Lennox said. “It is about common decency.”
Lennox, a former Cheboygan County drain commissioner, wrote a letter asking Agema to resign from his post with the GOP national committee. More than 50 other Michigan Republican precinct delegates, most younger than 40, have signed the petition, Lennox said.
