In this Feb. 24, 2016 photo, Randy Gamel is photographed at Maudrie M. Walton Elementary in Fort Worth, Texas. Gamel, a retiree who moved with his husband to a tiny western Oklahoma town alleges he was routinely harassed by townspeople, but was ignored by law enforcement until his home was burned. 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. He filed a lawsuit Thursday, Aug. 3, 2017, that suggests he was targeted in part because he and his partner brought a black child into the nearly all-white town of Hitchcock, Okla.
