A GOP candidate for North Carolina State Senate — who supports the state’s ban on same-sex marriage — has been revealed as a former female impersonator and drag show emcee by the co-owner of the club where he once worked.
Steve Wiles, 34, of Kernersville, NC, worked at Club Odyssey until 2010 under the name ‘Mona Sinclair,’ former club owner Randy Duggins told the Winston-Salem Journal.
According to Duggins, Wiles was a frequent patron in the late 1990s at his nightclub where gay, lesbian and straight clientele gathered for weekly shows featuring female impersonators. Around 2001 and 2002, Wiles began working for Duggins as the show director and performance booker, while emceeing the show as Miss Mona Sinclair.
“He is Mona Sinclair,” Duggins said, referring to Wiles’ female persona.
In multiple interviews about his past Wiles has alternately denied and confirmed his history.
“That’s not me,” Wiles said three weeks ago, referring to questions about Mona Sinclair.
This week, Wiles’ campaign website, Facebook page and Twitter account were shuttered.
However after first denying that he was Miss Mona Sinclair, Wiles finally fessed up in an interview with the Business Insider:
"I think that everyone has their own choices to make and I'm fine with everyone making their own. For me, from a religious standpoint, just for my life, for me, it just was not something that I wanted to continue," Wiles said of his drag performances. "Of course it was an embarrassment, but you know, you move on. You live life, and you change, and you make yourself what you want yourself to be. And that's where I am now."
Wiles declined to answer when Business Insider asked whether he considers himself an "ex-gay."
"No, no, I really wont make any comments on that," he said.
Oh yeah, he's gay.
And yes I DO realize that not all female impersonators or transvestites are homosexual, but in this case I think we all know what is the likeliest possibility.
Just another self loathing homosexual stuffed into a GOP closet, too frightened to live his life in the open and without remorse.
