Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump may want to avoid West Hollywood when he campaigns in California ahead of the state's potentially decisive June 7 primary.
Lindsey Horvath, the mayor of West Hollywood, Calif., which is located in the heart of Los Angeles County and home to a sizable population of gay men, penned a letter to Trump this week explaining that he is unwelcome in her city.
"With the primary making its way to California, as West Hollywood's Mayor, I want to make very clear that your campaign of violence and intimidation is not welcome in our City," she wrote in the letter.
"From mocking people living with disabilities to classifying entire ethnicities as violent criminals to persecuting specific religious communities, Trump has pursued headlines in this election season with reckless abandon," Horvath later explained in an op-ed for the Advocate.
Horvath, an outspoken LGBT activist and West Hollywood's youngest elected mayor, described herself as "deeply disturbed" by Trump, who she claimed has "gone beyond [his] right to express a political point of view or policy differences."
"As Mayor of West Hollywood, it is my primary responsibility to keep our community safe," she wrote in an email to the Washington Examiner.
According to Horvath, West Hollywood was previously welcomed politicians from both parties to hold campaign events in the city. "[But] those same Horvath courtesies will not be extended to the Trump campaign," she claims.
The 34-year-old mayor has already instructed City staff that they are able to refuse to issue special events permits to Trump should he attempt to schedule a rally in the Los Angeles County city, and "such actions are well with [their] right[s]," Horvath told the Examiner.
With a little over two months left to go until Trump competes in California's Republican primary, Horvath has also called on the other 87 mayors in Los Angeles County to follow suit and block the billionaire from campaigning in their cities.
A University of Southern California/Los Angeles Times survey released last Sunday showed Trump polling just 7 percentage points ahead of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the Golden State. California awards 172 delegates, the most of any state, on a proportional basis to the winner of is Republican primary.
Okay Libertarians -
All of you who proudly told me for years (literally) that “I might not agree with what you say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it!”
Here’s your chance to make good on that pledge. Haven’t seen you guys and girls around much since the Patriot Act I was first signed, but I’m sure you’re out there somewhere.
Or are you, as I suspected from the beginning, all wet?
I don’t think the mayor is a Cruz supporter. I think her action is unconstitutional.
What are you trying to say, CodeToad?
I don’t know, I just can’t seem to put my finger on it.
By God, I did!
Liberals are the most fascist, hate-filled, mean-spirited, envious, resentful, vicious, close-minded, violent, murdering, censoring, horse-punching, book-burning, ignorant, uneducated, unskilled, childish, prejudiced, racist, women-hating, man-hating, perverted, thieving, destructive, American-hating, Christian-hating, muslim-loving, communist, vulgar, dirty, smelly, regressive, restrictive, prohibitive, bed-wetting, cop-killing, and scared little lying thumbsucking idiots God has ever created.
Not very becoming of a queer lover
Trump needs to take her goatsmellin’ @$$ to court. This is unconstitutional. When I was a kid, America was a free country. You could go anywhere you wanted to go. Nazis like this “mayor” should not be allowed to get away with this kind of Nazi bull****. Trump needs to show da biatch his “papers”. THE U.S. CONSTITUTION!
Tell her to go pull butt hairs.

I used to work in West Hollywood back 15 years ago
So fun if you had to circle the block to try and find a parking space
you had a dozen tranny hookers running out thinking you were trolling for a date
You see use condoms laying in the streets in the parking lots
it’s the only city I ever saw a billboard that was put up by NAMBLA advertising their organization... and actually say “all children deserve to be loved”
Get Rolling Thunder to run though their streets with Trump in the lead sidecar. Secret Service would have the time of their life. Go Trump
That’s a civil rights violation right there. Trump Campaign should file suit.
14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
So by abridging Trumps 1st Amendment free speech rights, this low-information mayor is arguably violating the 14th Amendment regardless that Trump is not a resident of California.
Here’s the little snowflake’s email address. I notices she graduated with a degree in ‘Gender Studies’ too. That’s pretty much all that one needs to know methinks.
Drop her a line everyone, let that free speech send her into petulant fits: lhorvath@weho.org
Looks like she could be related to Uma Thurman..... What a waste!
Grandpa always said, focus on what’s between the ears, not the legs.
He might counsel differently with this snowflake...
Post of the day!
I wish I could fit that all in one tweet:)
Trump should go there anyway and dare her to arrest him. All of America is a Free Speech Zone.
LGBT home base?
