On Sunday, Democrat Kristin Mink, a member of the Montgomery County Council for District 5 in Maryland, apologized for equating Muslims who opposed LGBTQ-based curriculum to white supremacists.
Mink had criticized members of the Muslim community for their opposition to a new policy that prevents parents from opting their children out of lessons focused on LGBTQ topics.
“This issue has unfortunately put — does put… some Muslim families on the same side of an issue as white supremacists and outright bigots,” Mink had said. “I would not put you in the same category as those folks, although, you know, it’s complicated because they’re falling on the same side of this particular issue.”
On Sunday, Mink posted an apology letter to the Muslim community on Twitter.
“On Tuesday, June 6, I spoke at a Montgomery County Board of Education meeting about inclusive education and whether families should be permitted to opt their children out of LGBTQIA-Inclusive curriculum materials,” the letter began. “I regret that although my remarks were focused on promoting inclusion, they created an opportunity for misunderstanding and mischaracterization. I apologize for the hurt that caused in the Muslim community.”
Mink continued, “Even when individuals disagree about difficult issues, I am committed to finding space to foster authentic dialogue and seek points of understanding. I sat down to hear from Muslim community members before my remarks on Tuesday and with District 5 Muslim leaders on Thursday. I listened, and I understand their concerns.”
The letter concluded, “I look forward to continuing to work with members of our Muslim and LGBTQIA+ communities as we take on issues of importance for all residents.”

Will they apologize to Catholics and Christians?
LOLOLOLOL!!!!!
RE: Will they apologize to Catholics and Christians?
Tis brings up the next question - Why are devout Christians such pushovers? How many times should one turn the other cheek?
The was likely a visit from three black, wise Muslim men and she had an epiphany. /sarc
Hey, Kristin.... You’re not afraid of losing your head, are you?!!!
“LGBTQIA-Inclusive curriculum materials” are an oxymoron. Their idea of inclusion is to promote themselves while demeaning everyone else.
When is this libtard bigot going to apologize to Christians?
That’s what I thought
A Muslim city-council member in a suburb of Seattle was forced to resign due to his “hate speech” where he said he didn’t think that homosexuals should qualify as a minority and get special treatment. And why do we want to promote a group of people that grooms our kids, spread diseases, etc.
This is the thing about Democrats, they understand this idea of massive groups of people and how it gives them voting majorities, however, in some cases, not everyone is lock step on every issue, so you end up with situations like this. And the NPC coding is to always label people who disagree with your policies, racist, sexiest, this-ist, that-ist.
BS — she needs to resign or be otherwise removed from office.
Who is at the top of the injustice pyramid? It seems it could be the gays and transgenders which could make the muslims very angry.
In the past God would sow confusion among the godless heathen and they would destroy themselves.
The left will Never apologize to Christian’s and Catholics, but will double down and have them arrested for complaining.
Apology not accepted. Go to hell.
The only people these "whatevers" 'include' are fellow sexual weirdos and people who hate the country. Muslim parents are welcome to our team.
Mink is going to find out that Muslims don’t just cower like Christians do.
“Nice head you’ve got there.”
Kristin Mink is a Chinese loony toon with one side of her head shaved. Was she born here? I don't know. Perhaps her husband in the photo.
But no such apology to Christians.
There is no apology, and never will be an apology, to White Christians.
