It appears that he killed himself because of his secret website and all the ugliness he wrote on there that was exposed. He was fantasizing about killing someone. I can't believe the media is defending his character after what is being revealed. Imagine him slowly becoming a secret serial killer and all of you still defending his character. So all of you defending him would be okay if this were a female Mayor and female Pastor living a secret sex fein life and fantasizes about seducing another woman's husband and then killing her and assuming her identity? No way would any of you be okay if this had been a biological woman. All of you would have shamed her ass out of your small town. He's getting special trans victim privilege who are allowed to get away with anything because they carry a special protected class status. You guys don't care about the women whose lives he was destroying over the internet using their real names and real images.
Mayor and Pastor Copeland was previously 👉 a school board member and a youth pastor. 👈 I bet you more ugly secrets were going to come out and he knew it. (emphasis mine)

The married Alabama mayor and pastor who killed himself after being outed as having a secret life as a “transgender curvy girl” allegedly used a photo of a local minor to encourage kids to transition.
On one of his secret social media pages, F.L. “Bubba” Copeland allegedly shared the photos of a local boy and his sister to make it appear as if he had transitioned, with the caption, “Take the shots, get implants, become the wh–re.”
The post included the boy’s real name, according to 1819 News, the site that first revealed the secret online life of the married dad of three.
A minor was also featured in a post showing Copeland’s “alter ego” — Brittini Blaire Summerlin — undressing, the website reports.
The local pastor also wrote erotic fiction using the names of real women in the small town of Smiths Station — including a local hairstylist who said she was shocked to find both her first and last name used in a graphic story online.
“It was basically describing the way that I look — and intensified, I guess, as a porn star,” the unidentified woman told WTVM.
“And it went into very graphic detail. I didn’t get past the first page because I honestly couldn’t stomach it.”
Ansley Summerlin also said that following Copeland’s death on Friday, friends started sending her “photos that were posted of me on multiple porn sites.”
“He proceeded to use my first and middle names on the sites, and I believe there are about nine stories now that have five or six photos of my face and my name, across the net,” she said.
Copeland posted at least four pieces of transgender erotic fiction — and one story about stealing a local woman’s identity — online, the Daily Mail reported.
In one of these short stories, Copeland — who also owned a local grocery store — wrote about watching women on in-store security cameras and saving the videos for his “private collection,” according to the Mail.
In another long-form story posted under the pseudonym Brittini Blair, the narrator becomes obsessed with a real-life business owner, whom he ultimately murders to assume her identity.
After 1819 News published an article about these posts, the mayor contacted a friend at the local police department, Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones said.
“It was a friend calling a friend,” he explained. “Let’s just say he was concerned about the article. I think ‘upset’ would be a good way of putting it.”
Authorities then conducted a welfare check on the mayor.
Two deputies first went to Copeland’s to find him, and then to a local market he frequented, before ultimately spotting the mayor driving on a county road, officials said.
The deputies turned on their emergency lights and tried to get Copeland to pull over.
When he ultimately did, Copeland got out of the vehicle and shot himself.
“We had no idea Copeland would die on the spot,” Jones said.
“There were obvious concerns for his welfare, and deputies were attempting to get him to stop, make contact with him, assess the situation, and then take action based on that assessment.”
He added that he does not know what the deputies could have done differently, even as authorities investigate his death.
Copeland, who also served as the pastor at First Baptist Church in nearby Phenix City, had earlier told a friend he had been facing “some tough days.”
But 1819 News editor Jeff Poor is defending the website’s coverage of Copeland.
“There’s a whole lot more here,” he told Breitbart. “This was clearly a troubled man, and it’s unfortunate that he ended his life.
“But it wasn’t for any of the reasons or any of the stated narrative of the mainstream media,” he claimed.
“He didn’t just write erotic fiction — he wrote erotic slasher fiction where he fantasized about murdering a woman in the local community, and used her real name.”

Women in a small town in Alabama say they were shocked to find out their names and images were used in erotic fiction written by the local mayor, who took his own life after being outed for having a secret life online as a “transgender curvy girl.”
One local hair stylist even said both her first and last name were used in a graphic story written by Smiths Station Mayor F.L. “Bubba” Copeland, 62, who shot himself dead in front of local sheriff’s deputies just days after conservative news website 1819 News published a story that featured photos of his “alter ego” Brittini Blaire Summerlin in a bra and feminine clothing.
“It was basically describing the way that I look — and intensified, I guess, as a porn star,” the unidentified woman told WTVM.
“And it went into very graphic detail. I didn’t get past the first page because I honestly couldn’t stomach it.”
Ansley Summerlin also said that following Copeland’s death on Friday, friends started sending her “photos that were posted of me on multiple porn sites.”
“He proceeded to use my first and middle names on the sites, and I believe there are about nine stories now that have five or six photos of my face and my name, across the net,” she said.

In another long-form story posted under the pseudonym Brittini Blair, the narrator becomes obsessed with a real-life business owner, whom he ultimately murders to assume her identity.
The story reportedly went into detail about the steps the narrator takes to “transition” and completely change his body to look like the real-life woman living in the small town.
It explains that “her life had become his obsession,” and that calling him a “stalker would be an understatement,” the Mail reports.
Other parts of the story feature the narrator installing spyware on the woman’s devices to monitor her purchases, movements and mannerisms.
The narrator also reportedly begins a hormone treatment regimen, buying similar clothes and training in the woman’s profession to assume her identity.
Eventually, the narrator explains he carefully began to pretend to be the woman in her friend group and goes into detail about how he seduced her husband, a feat he called “passing the ultimate test,” the Mail reports.
“This life is all I have ever wanted, and finally, it was mine!” the story reads, according to the Mail.
It ultimately delves into the narrator’s plan to kill the woman and permanently take her place in the community.

F.L. “Bubba” Copeland, 62, who was the mayor of tiny Smiths Station, confided in the friend after a news outlet published a story that featured photos of Copeland’s “alter ego” Brittini Blaire Summerlin in a bra and feminine clothing.
“After watching for a day or two [of] people just relentlessly attacking Bubba, I was quite bothered by it, and I just decided to reach out to him,” former Phenix City School Superintendent Larry D. Chiara told NBC News.
“It was the day before he passed away. I said, ‘Bubba, keep your head up, you’re a good man with a great heart. Don’t ever forget that. Call me if you need me,’” Chiara recounted.
“His response was: ‘Thank you. It’s been some dark days.’ And I said, ‘I’m sure, just hang in there it will pass.’”
But on Friday, the day Copeland died, another story was published alleging he wrote violent fantasy fiction and posted photos of people from the community to his Reddit page without their consent.
Copeland, who was also the pastor at First Baptist Church in nearby Phenix City, then contacted a friend at the local police department, Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones said.
“It was a friend calling a friend,” he explained. “Let’s just say he was concerned about the article. I think ‘upset’ would be a good way of putting it.”
Authorities then conducted a welfare check on the mayor.
Two deputies first went to Copeland’s to find him, and then to a local market he frequented, before ultimately spotting the mayor driving on a county road, officials said.
The deputies then turned on their emergency lights and tried to get Copeland to pull over.
When he ultimately did, Copeland got out of the vehicle and shot himself.
“We had no idea Copeland would die on the spot,” Jones said.
“There were obvious concerns for his welfare, and deputies were attempting to get him to stop, make contact with him assess the situation, and then take action based on that assessment.”
He added that he does not know what the deputies could have done differently.
“It’s just tragic all the way around.”
“By no means am I disregarding/discounting accountability,” he added, “but it must be dispensed with love and care, not scorn and judgment.”
Copeland is survived by his wife, son, and two daughters.
