Southhaven Mayor Greg Davis
A conservative Mississippi mayor has said he is gay after an audit showed he had the city pay for a wide range of personal expenses, including a visit to a gay sex store in Canada.
Southaven Mayor Greg Davis revealed publicly for the first time Thursday that he is gay, and said he has struggled to keep his sexuality from affecting his public role as mayor of Mississippi’s third-largest city.
“At this point in my life and in my career, while I have tried to maintain separation between my personal and public life, it is obvious that this can no longer remain the case,” Davis told the Commercial Appeal, a Tennessee-based publication. “While I have performed my job as mayor, in my opinion, as a very conservative, progressive individual — and still continue to be a very conservative individual — I think that it is important that I discuss the struggles I have had over the last few years when I came to the realization that I am gay.”
Davis, a Republican, has been under criminal investigation for allegedly misusing $170,000 in city funds on both his city-issued and personal credit cards. According to the Commercial Appeal, an audit revealed he used city money to pay for thousands of dollars worth of liquor, expensive dinners, and a $67 charge at Priape, a Toronto store described by its website as “Canada’s premiere gay lifestyle store and sex shop.”
He told the newspaper he doesn’t remember what he purchased at the store, but said he visited it on a recruitment trip for the city.
Davis, who is divorced with three daughters, made an unsuccessful bid for Congress in 2008, running on a family values platform. He was first elected mayor in 1997, and said it‘s too early for talk about whether he’ll resign in light of the disputed expenses. He said he plans to take time off through the holidays to spend time with his family.
“The only apology I would make to my supporters if they are upset is the fact that I was not honest enough with myself to be honest with them,” he said. “But I have lived my life in public service for 20-plus years, and in order for me to remain sane and move on, I have got to start being honest about who I am.”

Posted on December 17, 2011 at 10:49amAs a Christian, Ron Paul, if he is not using the Bible to guide his decisions on some very basic social issues, then he probably will not look to the Bible for guidance on other issues either. Biblically, civil government is instituted by God to promote good and punish evil. A Christian who is in government leadership should work towards these aims. In some very important areas Ron Paul would not do so.
Ron Paul, the Doctor does not believe that Homosexuality is a sin. The immediate red flag that something is not Biblically correct is when the person uses something other than the Bible to justify their position. In this case, Ron Paul uses his medical experience as the reason he is not as judgmental on this issue. Of course, saying that something is sinful and wrong is not judgmental, it is just stating a Biblical truth.

How about being more honest than that and go to a shrink to get cured?
You are who you are by choice….not by birth.
Homosexuality is a disease, like drug addiction or alcoholism and can be cured if the perpetrator wants to get well. That’s been known for many years. Only since rabid homosexual activists took over the Psychiatric orgs has policy been changed to make them out to be victims.
The sad thing is that most don’t want to change their perverted lifestyle, because they have grown to like it. That’s the way it is for drug addicts and alcoholics too.

Maybe you answer this tifosa. If you use a cotton swab in conjunction with isopropyl alcohol to sterilize an injection site say to draw blood, can you really sterilize the skin? Many doctors don’t believe so since the skin has so many nooks & crannies. IF a person engages in sodomy can they really clean their junk so that they engage in regular sex with a woman without contaminating her with all the faun & flora found in the lower gut?

Then when he used the word ‘individual’ twice in two sentences to refer to himself… I‘m just sayin’… have you ever noticed how ‘individuals’ who actually lack in the ability to express themselves in a meaningful manner often use the word ‘individual’ and also the word ‘particular’? And when they use the two word phrase ‘particular individual’, watch out! You are being snowed by a leftist imitating a policeman for in an attempt to gain legitimacy while they blow smoke up your butt!
Of course, in this particular individual’s case, it may not be smoke that is being blown up somebody’s butt.

Repression breeds deception, and where you have people struggling to keep the lid on their sexuality and present a false face to the public, you will find strange manifestations like this. That’s why you find so many more Republican than Democrat politicians busted for morals charges, caught trolling for sex in airport washrooms and the like.

Any person who thinks he/she is a ‘conservative-progressive’ has no clue of political identity, no concept of rational thought. Far as I’m concerned, liberals are irrational (I refuse to call them ‘progressive’, for they‘re so stuck in debunked theories from the 19th Century they’re laughable).
Another thing I’m tired of hearing is about gays. I don’t give a flying hoot who someone sleeps with, and there’s something terribly wrong with people who define themselves by their sexuality. I’m sick and tired of having that constantly thrown in the faces of everyone–on TV, in the so-called news, during political debates, and everywhere else we have to see and hear about it. I’m tired of being held hostage and forcibly pulled into certain bedrooms (in a manner of speaking) by what amounts to perverts seeking validation at the point of a gun (so to speak).
If liberals want government out of their bedrooms, then quit throwing open your bedrooms and forcing average folks to be witnesses there, too.
