- America’s first transgender Bishop Megan Rohrer, 42, resigned amid allegations of racism
- Rohrer was accused of wearing a bulletproof vest and insensitivity after firing Pastor Nelson Rabell-Gonzalez of a predominantly Latino congregation
- The ex-bishop allegedly also threatened to call the police on a child and mother
- The congregation became unruly and protested the ouster of Rabell-Gonzalez, which came during the Feast of the Virgin Guadalupe
- Some congregants accused the bishop of smirking during the announcement, but an investigation found that the expression was due to Rohrer’s autism
- Rohrer resigned from their position in the church claiming there was too much misinformation, bullying and harassment
