The Cavalier Daily - :: Homophobic, sexist, anti-white language abundant in Charlottesville vice mayor's tweets: This article contains language some may find offensive. All tweets attributed to Bellamy have been quoted as written.
The article has been updated to note Bellamy is now on administrative leave from Albemarle County Public Schools.
Charlottesville Vice Mayor Wes Bellamy published several tweets between 2009 and 2014 using gay slurs, comments against white people, lewd slang for female genitalia and other profanities. Many of the old tweets show a stark contrast between his more recent posts lauding women’s and LGBTQ rights. Bellamy made his Twitter account private this Saturday.
The tweets surfaced on social media after local blogger Jason Kessler posted criticism of the tweets on Nov. 24. The post led some members of the community to call on Bellamy to leave office.
In an October 2011 tweet, Bellamy answered a question prompted by another user, “Does it make males uncomfortable wen girls are so upfront about sex??” with “It only makes faggots uncomfortable …”
The anti-gay slur also appears in tweets about the number of times someone has sex and having a clean house.
