Mayor & pastor in AL commits suicide
-
Alabama mayor and Baptist pastor F.L. 'Bubba' Copeland shoots himself in the head after he's outed for dressing as 'transgender curvy girl Brittini Blaire' and 'uploading explicit photos to porn site'
Apparently
- father of 3
- info came out
- days later, police were sent on a friendly 'wellness check'
- he fled the check
- when police pulled him over, Copeland did the rest
...Supporters have questioned whether Copeland should have been 'outed' since he does not appear to have ever voiced anti LGBTQ views...
Article that outed him was apparently https://1819news.com/news/item/the-secret-life-of-smiths-station-mayor-and-baptist-pastor-f.l.-bubba-copeland-as-a-transgender-curvy-girl-its-a-hobby-i-do-to-relieve-stress
and said:
Additionally, Copeland regularly commented on other posts, referring to himself as a “thick transgender woman” and encouraging other transgender individuals to go on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Copeland also posted transgender pornography, often giving vivid captions describing being a “whore” and getting “f****d.”
During an interview with 1819 News, Copeland confirmed that he operated the account and was featured in the pictures.
He claimed it was only a means of “getting rid of stress” and called the postings a “hobby” and a “fantasy.” He also said his erotica [about murdering a woman & taking her place] was “purely fiction.”
...He also said that his wife was aware of his activity...
Despite his claim of this online lifestyle being little more than a casual pastime, Copeland did offer advice to others on chemically transitioning.
He emphatically stated that he does not feel like a woman and has not undertaken a medical transition...He repeatedly referred to his activity as akin to “dress-up” and “cosplay.”...“What I do in private life has nothing to do with what I do in my holy life,” Copeland continued.
Articles I've seen, do not speculate on why Copeland, after he made sort of a defense, would change his mind & kill himself?
