Missouri Republican Candidate For Governor: I Was Gay Until God Saved Me

A Missouri state senator running for governor is running on his “23 years as a strong supporter of traditional marriage.” Before that, he says, he was gay.

According to the Riverfront Times, what State Senator Bob Dixon didn’t mention at his press conference was that he lived his life as a gay man for five years before having a “religious experience” in October, 1988.

Dixon had previously discussed his earlier sexual orientation at a Springfield city council meeting in 1991 without describing the specifics of the religious experience that set him off on a different path. Since that time he has married a woman, had three kids and served as a Missouri lawmaker for 15 years.

“It is my faith in God that helps me to daily set the compass,” Dixon said during his announcement. “I hope the people of Missouri will accept my record of service as a reflection of my faith in the Almighty, because that frankly is at the core of what I do.”

According to Dixon’s mother, Jean Dixon , she waged a battle as a lawmaker against Missouri State University’s 1989 production of the AIDS drama The Normal Heart in part because of her son’s homosexuality.

Dixon said her son attempted suicide prior to his gay conversion, while admitting that — for her — it was difficult to accept his homosexual lifestyle.

“It had been a heartache I had to deal with, and it was a tough one,” Jean Dixon explained.

    God “saved” you from what? Saved you from dealing with hateful morons so you could become one yourself?

  2. Maxx44 July 24th, 2015 at 20:42

    Again I ask the question: Why does God only talk to or intervene on the behalf of RWNJs?

    • Suzanne McFly July 24th, 2015 at 20:53

      Its not God, its the other guy just screwing with them.

    Marcus Bachmann’s secret lover?

  4. FatRat July 24th, 2015 at 21:08

    He chose to be Gay for five straight years. (pun intended)
    In late 1988 he chose to be straight because you simply choose Gay thoughts or Straight thoughts. (Been 27 years since 1988)

    I’m confused, how in the heck is he a bit chunky since he’s been running from his gay thoughts for the past 27 years?

    So some hacker says he has a list and is threatening to release the name of 37 million members of Ashley Madison’s “cheat on your spouse” site……
    but…
    Gay people are the real threat to traditional marriage.

        • tracey marie July 25th, 2015 at 09:58

          don’t give thos sites out to trolls, we do not need them bombarding us.

          • whatthe46 July 25th, 2015 at 12:10

            i get where you’re coming from. but, at the same time they will likely not read it anyway, it’s too informative.

  6. BigDumbWhiteGuy July 24th, 2015 at 22:34

    There are men out there, married to women and with children, that are still same sex attracted. Just because he’s married with kids does not mean that he is not a homosexual.

  7. Tommie July 24th, 2015 at 23:58

    Only because he is a conservative, that is he trying to live a lie, If you were a Democrat, you could do what you want!

  8. bpollen July 25th, 2015 at 03:09

    Hi! I’m Bob Dixon and I’m running for Governor of Missouri. Let me introduce you to my lovely beard wife…

  9. liberalMD July 25th, 2015 at 05:30

    Get real. You certainly didn’t think Todd Akin was the only anomaly in Missouri politics. The legislature is full of these types.

    • StoneyCurtisll July 25th, 2015 at 15:09

      We have a virtual cornucopia of lunatics in our state legislature..
      No doubt about it..
      There are forced resignations nearly once a month.
      Usually involving some sort of sexual harassment.

  10. rg9rts July 25th, 2015 at 06:15

    I guess the term bi-sexual is a novel concept in Missouri

    • JohnJ July 25th, 2015 at 18:50

      Damn, didn’t read down again before saying the same thing. Sorry.

  11. wpadon July 25th, 2015 at 08:24

    State Senator Dixon is on the left wearing the white shirt.

  12. Hirightnow July 25th, 2015 at 08:30

    Sorry, but it’s all I could think of looking at this picture.

    • ExPFCWintergreen July 25th, 2015 at 09:17

      “They’re fluffier than I would’ve thought”

    • StoneyCurtisll July 25th, 2015 at 15:06

      High Five~!!

  13. ExPFCWintergreen July 25th, 2015 at 09:18

    I’m so tired of hearing “my faith is at the core of everything I do,” because essentially that means, “I’m an empty vessel who can’t think for myself.”

    • JohnJ July 25th, 2015 at 18:51

      Like “I am not responsible for what I do or say because it is gawd doing it”.

    No doubt he was the catcher on the bottom.

  15. Mike July 25th, 2015 at 10:57

    Damn, I must be a cynic…this whole story sounds like BS to me….

  16. Bunya July 25th, 2015 at 14:35

    Hey, it could happen. I used to be a 60-year-old black guy who was constantly being pulled over by the cops. Then God saved me and now I’m a 40-year old white woman who’s hardly ever stopped by the cops. Praise the Lord!

  17. StoneyCurtisll July 25th, 2015 at 15:05

    Not another embarrassment for my state….
    Last thing we need is a gay guy pretending an imaginary deity cured him of something his imaginary deity created him as…
