GOP mayor dies by suicide after cross-dressing revealed by rightwing site
Edit01: This story is associated with a lot of different topics. It is posted here because I see it as primarily someone who wanted to keep an aspect of their digital life private.
So a conservative blog outs him, even though he asked them to please respect his private life.
The church he cares enough about to deliver sermons at sees fit to release a public statement about it - amplifying the reach of the blog and drawing attention to it in the local community.
And then the local cops just happen to pull him over while he’s driving for a ‘wellness check’?
I’ve never, in my life, heard of a traffic stop wellness check. We know what they were doing. We know what that church was doing. And we know what that blog was doing.
What a tragedy. I hope everyone involved knows the stain they bear.
