Mayor Rob Green. (Cedar Falls city photo) Some activists are calling for Cedar Falls Mayor Rob Green to resign after he initially refused to sign a proclamation declaring June as LGBTQ Pride Month in the northeast Iowa college town. Green says such a proclamation goes against his beliefs. 'There's 40,000 people in this town,' Green says. 'There are at least hundreds of people who don't understand — and I'm one of those.' The mayor has never written in support or opposition to a city proclamation, but in a memo, he said he opposes same-sex marriage and therefore wouldn't support the proclamation.
