"You'd think a man who had acknowledged frequenting a homosexual theater would have been run out of Mississippi. But some folks would rather have a queer conservative than a macho liberal, and they may be right." -- W. D. (Billy) Mounger, on gay Mississippi Republican congressman Jon Hinson, who was arrested in a Washington, D.C. House of Representatives bathroom on sodomy charges along with a black employee of the Library of Congress in 1981


Joey Fillingane
Closeted Democrat or Closeted Homosexual? OR BOTH?


To the honorable Republican Senator from Sumrall, Mississippi - Joey Fillingane - we'd like to say: "Come out, come out where ever you are!" and "Stop supporting discriminatory and hateful anti-gay legislation and then going home to your Democrat boyfriend!"

Feel free to e-mail Joey and encourage him to be honest with the people of Mississippi, and with himself: jfillingane@senate.ms.gov
