A small-town Alabama pastor and mayor killed himself Friday, days after a local conservative news website published a story that included photos of him wearing women’s clothing and makeup.
F.L. “Bubba” Copeland, who was the mayor of Smiths Station and the pastor at First Baptist Church in Phenix City, shot himself in front of police during a welfare check, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office said.
Copeland’s private life was exposed Wednesday by the conservative blog 1819 News, which was once owned by the right-wing Alabama Policy Institute and whose top editor is a former Breitbart News contributor.
Hilariously ironic that this guy was literally a false ally and you’re rushing to defend him.
Not everyone who is LGBTQ is your ally and not everyone who thinks you’re a complete idiot is your enemy.
No one ever said they deserved this for “being trans” thats simply not true. In fact no one ever said this guy deserved it.
