This is a bizarre story. I don't even know where to start.
The mayor of a small town in central Alabama called Smith Station, and pastor of First Baptist Church in neighboring Phenix City has recently been outed by a local conservative news source for having a secret online life where he pretends to be a woman and posts inappropriate content online.
Let me go ahead and slap a warning on here because this dude's private life is gross and explicit.
According to 1819 News, F.L. "Bubba" Copeland is not just a Bubba. He's a sissy too.
Here's how the residents of Smith's Station and congregants of Phenix City First Baptist would see Copeland on a day-to-day basis:
But here's how Bubba presents himself online. As a "Brittini":
Yeah, that's Bubba, in his wife's shirt, as posted on Reddit in trans porn forums.
He also ran an Instagram account as "Brittini."
Here are the types of comments Bubba writes on Reddit.
The original source for this story has more photos, but honestly, they're a little too gross for this website.
This is a man that's seemingly been sucked into the world of online pornography and allowed it to completely warp his mind.
All while being a "conservative" mayor and a PASTOR of a church!
Copeland has even written a 12-page pornographic trans story that's been posted online.
Copeland, to his credit (I guess?) admits that these are his accounts but wants everyone to believe it's totally innocent.
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 was "purely fiction..."
Copeland told 1819 News dressing up as a woman has been a "hobby" since youth as a release from anxiety.
The dude has been dressing up as a chick for his whole life? And he decided as an adult that he would post these lewd photos online for validation and to get off on other men looking at him as a woman?
But it's totally no big deal and we really shouldn't worry about it!
Copeland's cope is really stunning. It's a long block of text but you need to read it all just to see how messed up he is:
He continued, "It's something that I don't intermingle with the other. It's private. I don't do it in the public or anything like that. … It's just a fictional character I made up to relieve stress."
Copeland also declined to offer any explanation to the citizens of Smiths Station or his church parishioners about his so-called hobby. He said he believed his activity was "not relevant" and only relegated to the privacy of his home. He repeatedly referred to his activity as akin to "dress-up" and "cosplay."
"It's just a hobby that I have inside my own home that has not traveled outside of my home," Copeland said. "I have not done anything outside of my own home besides post or publish anything on the internet, and that does not affect anything with inside my jurisdiction."
He continued, "What I do in private life has nothing to do with what I do in my holy life," Copeland continued. "Does this have any effect on me being mayor, that I sometimes put on a dress or sometimes put on makeup? Does that have anything to do whatsoever with me being mayor or being a pastor?"
"Sure I put on women's clothes and makeup and post photos of myself on Reddit trans porn forums, but why exactly would that keep me from being a pastor?"
The man doesn't know why it's not okay for a PASTOR to dress up like a woman and post explicit photos online? What Bible is he preaching from?
I can't believe this is a real person.
Alabama! Get it together!
