Steve Wiles, a Republican state Senate candidate who supports North Carolina’s constitutional amendment against same-sex marriage, once worked as a female impersonator at a gay nightclub in Winston-Salem and was gay at the time, according to a co-owner of the nightclub and a former employee.

Wiles, 34, was in his early 20s when he worked at the now-defunct nightclub, Club Odyssey, according to co-owner Randy Duggins and former employee Gray Tomlinson.

“He is Mona Sinclair,” Duggins said, referring to Wiles’ female persona.

Wiles’ responses over the past three weeks have ranged from categorical denial to tacit admission.

1. LOL. the poor editing in the article was even funnier; "I have no ax to grind against him."

"The webpage also says that Wiles was suspended for “conduct unbecoming to a promoter of the Miss Gay America pageant system,” according to the webpage, without providing more information."

3. ....was gay at the time...??????

Since when is that a situational condition? Perhaps he's bisexual...?

But if he IS Mona Sinclair, someone should have taken a bit of video at some time or another....!

I wish this had "come out" -as it were- AFTER the primary, assuming he might have won the GOP nomination...!

All these years later, Wiles is a real-estate agent who lives in Belews Creek. He filed papers to run in the Republican primary May 6 against two other GOP candidates – incumbent Joyce Krawiec and East Bend resident Dempsey Brewer – for the largely conservative Senate District 31, which comprises Yadkin County and rings around most of Forsyth County.

Now, all it means is that one of those other two jerks will likely grab the brass ring...

7. Ah, the old Club Odyssey....

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing ads/flyers for drag shows promoting Miss Mona Sinclair as emcee. I may have even seen her perform. So long ago, though. Not a bad club back in the day. Two dance floors, I think. Never spent that much time there. It was way across town.
