An anti-gay Republican candidate in North Carolina worked as a drag queen performer and emcee known as ‘Miss Mona Sinclair,’ according to a bombshell report.

Steve Wiles, a conservative North Carolina state Senate candidate who has been outspoken in his support of the state’s same-sex marriage ban, worked as a female impersonator and drag-show emcee earlier in his life, the Winston-Salem Journal reported over the weekend.

Wiles, 34, worked at a gay-friendly Winston-Salem lounge called Club Odyssey from 2002 to 2010, where he directed a weekly drag show, the club’s former owner Randy Duggins told the Journal.

  • This takes me back to when Outweek first started. It was a harsh tactic, outing gay public figures who were anti gay rights. Civil rights struggles aren't always pretty. Sometimes you have to expose your enemies as hypocrites in order stop them from using their opposition to the rights of others as a shield to cover their own behavior.
