Great entertaining comment thread on this one
The current mayor is Muslim, and also opposes the pride flags.
The former (white) mayor is a stereotypical leftist commie, literally named Karen, and reading her twitter feed is a riot and a half:

However, race and religion add more fraught layers to Hamtramck’s issues. Islamophobia exists here, and some Muslims say they saw bigotry in local voter fraud investigations, and in LGBTQ+ supporters not respecting their religion.
But (White former mayor Karen) Majewski said the majority is now disrespecting the minority. She noted that a white, Christian-majority city council in 2005 created an ordinance to allow the Muslim call to prayer to be broadcast from the city’s mosques five times daily. It did so over objections of white city residents, and Majewski said she didn’t see the same reciprocity with roles reversed.
