OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — When Randy Gamel and his husband were looking for a retirement home, a six-bedroom fixer upper in the tiny western Oklahoma town of Hitchcock caught their eye.
They bought it in 2014, and Gamel moved to the quiet community from Fort Worth, Texas, to start upgrades. He set out to make himself a part of the agricultural community of a little more than 100 residents. He befriended neighbors, took an interest in town politics and soon became the town clerk.
But it wasn’t long before Gamel began feuding with longtime locals over how the town should be run. Many town leaders and employees are related, and Gamel says he has a reputation for speaking up, vociferously, when he sees a problem. The local sheriff from the nearby county seat of Watonga was soon being called to the town routinely to settle disputes involving Gamel and other townsfolk.
Tension erupted in flames in May when a suspicious fire ripped through Gamel’s home, burning the two-story structure to the ground.
Gamel, 59, suggests in a federal lawsuit filed this week in Oklahoma City that community leaders tried to force him out because he was gay and because he and his partner brought a black child into the nearly all-white town. Others, including a sheriff’s official named in the lawsuit, say it was Gamel’s behavior, not homophobia or racism, that led to problems. A criminal investigation into the fire is pending.
The civil rights lawsuit names Blaine County Sheriff Tony Almaguer, Undersheriff David Robertson and seven residents of Hitchcock, alleging that they conspired to drive him from his town office and denied him equal protection under the law. The lawsuit lays out allegations of death threats against Gamel and his son, physical assaults, an anti-gay sign posted in town and local law enforcement refusing to take any action. When the fire broke out, Gamel said firefighters from the volunteer force with whom he had feuded dragged their feet and that some townspeople sat in lawn chairs to watch it burn.
“I think once I became clerk, and they found out they had a queer clerk with a black kid running the city, it just drove them crazy and they couldn’t take it. They tried everything to get me to quit. Once the house was burned … I just couldn’t put my son through any more of it,” said Gamel, who now lives in El Paso, Texas.
Gamel acknowledges that before moving to Oklahoma, his criticism of staff and teachers at his son’s Fort Worth elementary school became so heated that district officials prohibited him last year from visiting the school.
Phone messages left Friday for the fire chief, mayor and several defendants were not immediately returned. But Robertson, the undersheriff, strongly disputed Gamel’s allegations. He said the feuds were real, but described Gamel as a “bully” who sought to impose his will on the town and was constantly alleging wrongdoing by town officers.
“I got to know him very well from all the complaints and allegations that he made, and I cannot find one person who made any racist statements against his child or against him for being a homosexual,” Robertson said. “We don’t take too kindly to being called racist and homophobic, because we’re not.”

Robertson said separate investigations into the fire are being conducted by his office, an insurance company and the state fire marshal’s office, but that Gamel’s story about the blaze is inconsistent with the evidence. Gamel claims he heard a window break and that the fire started in the garage, but Robertson said evidence suggests it started in the living quarters while Gamel was the only one in the home.
No charges have been filed in connection with the fire, and Gamel says any suggestion he is involved is outrageous.
“We lost everything from 27 years,” said Gamel. “Everything that we had is gone.”

Wow, mentally ill man instigates conflict everywhere he lives and moves and tries to change the society around him to suit him better, not vice versa.
Gays are the worst and should have their houses burned tbqh famalam.

I hate people like this. If it was intentional it was deserved.

Maybe he should move to somewhere more inclusive that accepts gays, like Pakistan.

I live in OK and lease minerals. I deal with people in rural Blaine county on a daily bases. I've dealt with people from Hitchcock a lot, they are all related and apparently extremely based. Also, this is not on the local news at all.

Dylan Walker
Sounds to me like he was welcomed as a gay man in the town until everyone realized he was an asshole.
Ryan Anderson
>I hate people like this. If it was intentional it was deserved. sounds like he did it himself, for attention
Christian Cook
Maybe his virtue signal overheated, and caused the fire.
Justin Cook
Proving once again, you are what you eat.
Landon Wood
So he wants to live the lifestyle of a homosexual celebrity (buying minorities, bossing people around etc) without the talent and the wealth required to live in appropriate areas?
Colton Martin
Oh a faggot burned his own house down after making a fool of himself to everyone in the town? Who cares?

To be fair, it is a shit school >Last year, Walton students were 20 percentage points below the state average on all subjects How could this be you ask? What praytell is causing this decline in testing scores? >About 86 percent of Walton’s students are economically-disadvantaged. About 77.7 percent are African-American; 20.6 percent Hispanic; 1.3 percent, White. >faggot is upset because his nigger son is doing poorly in nigger school.

Sounds like my high school.

People voluntarily risk their lives to save the house of a man who's been a total cunt to them and still he bitches because they don't move quick enough for his liking. Fucking faggot should be grateful they even showed up at all.

Town sounds based. I hope the faggot's place in El Paso burns down too.

Easier to adopt, more of them available, cheaper to adopt.

Luke Sanders
It truly saddens me that they were shot shot in the head and buried deep out where no one goes. Which is what actually happens when a city wants to get rid of their queer problem.
This is a classic case of WHACHA DOING RABBI?

Translation: Loudmouth expat moves to community, decides that said community should adjust to suit him and his family, acts surprised when said community doesn't like being told by someone that only moved there a few years ago how they should run their town

Fuck faggots. 80%+ of the screaming diseased freaks vote far-left Dem and then blame me when things go awry.
Gabriel Lee
the only bad thing about this story is that the fags survived. into the bog you go
Connor Roberts
Considering that he was belligerent with the whole town, he might've set the fire himself.
>population 100: no problems >population 102: drama everywhere, have to call in sheriff from 70 miles away on a daily basis
Adam Walker
This fucking faggot just craves attention, that's why he's gay. That's why he has a black son. That's why he comes to a town of 100 people and starts shit like the biggest fucking retard in the world
And they will still end up using this as an example of anti-gay anti-black bias
