There is a Hell—and for a spell, heterosexuals were banned from the place… well, sort of. This is thanks to the snarky former Mayor Elijah Daniel who ruled over the unincorporated town of 72-citizens in Hell, Michigan. His reign was inspired by Donald Trump’s bigotry and was brief. Huffington Post reports:
Daniel, a YouTube comedian best known for writing a gay-themed erotic novel about Donald Trump, had spent a whole two days seeking higher office somewhere so he could carry out his plan.
Daniel said he was looking for a town willing to make him mayor. “They do it in Hell for $100.” So, he caught a red eye to Michigan and got sworn in. Then, just like Trump, Daniel used Twitter from the start. Here are some tweets.
Elijah Daniel was sworn in as the new mayor of Hell on August 30, 2017.
Like Trump, Daniel wasted no time implementing his agenda.
Huffington Post helps break the proclamation down:
His mayoral proclamation explains that when he was growing up, he was often told that homosexuals would go to hell. But “now the heterosexuals are trying to take that from us too,” Daniel wrote.
Lest he seem bigoted, Daniel offered local heterosexuals a chance to stay in Hell for a price: Fork over $84,000, which they would get back after one year of abstinence from straight sex.
“Reparative therapy” to find one’s gay side was also to be strongly encouraged. The alternative: being forced to wear a scarlet H and cargo shorts in the town square every morning for some public straight-shaming.
As soon as his proclamation was tweeted out— Daniel was impeached. And though his political career was brief (shorter than the “Mooch,”) Elijah Daniel was not bitter and hoped to share his love for the city by encouraging Trump to visit saying, "Donald Trump should go to Hell anytime.”
