Good Ol' Republican Family Values... 
Here is an article which features Davis' campaign positions with regards to gay rights:
Quote:
At a stop at DeSoto County's Lewisburg High School last week, Davis told students: "Any time government gets involved in your lives, it's usually a bad thing."
Morgan Wakham, 18, quizzed Davis about gay marriage and abortion. Davis said he opposes both, but didn't mention that Childers does, too.
"Why?" Wakham asked.
"Because I'm a Christian, and that's what's in the Bible," Davis said, gaining applause from most students.
Wakham persisted, asking Davis if he believes openly gay people should serve in the military. Davis was briefly stumped, but he said military members shouldn't be openly gay for the same reason he believes firefighters shouldn't be -- because it might make others uncomfortable in close sleeping quarters.
Moments later, 18-year-old Trae Stine asked Davis whether black and white firefighters or military members should sleep in the same room if doing so made them uncomfortable. Without hesitation, Davis said race should not be a consideration.
"Then, the person who's uncomfortable's got a problem," Davis said.

Even teenagers can see through the hypocrisy and contradictions.
Reaction to Davis coming out of the Log Closet:
Quote:
Because some jokes never get old: A man walks into a gay bar. The bartender asks ?What can I get for you?? The man says, ?I would like a Double Hypocrisy with a shot of Self Loathing.? The bartender smiles, ?One GOP Special, coming right up!?
This weeks? astounding hypocrite is Greg Davis, Mayor of Southaven, Mississippi. Not only has this ?family values? Republican been forced out of the closet after running (and losing) on an anti-gay platform for Congress in 2008 but he also used almost $170,000 of tax payer money on personal perks that included a trip to an adult store in Canada that caters to the homosexual crowd (hence, the outing). So, not only a hypocrite but a thief, too.
I feel it is important to make the following distinction: Davis? homosexuality is NOT the problem here. That?s his personal business. Under normal circumstances, this would be an unfortunate turn of events for his marriage and that would be the extent of it as far as we, the public, are concerned.
The problem is same problem as any conservative politician, like David Vitter, that runs on ?family values? and then cheats on his wife (there has been no accusation of this against Davis) or rails against gays while being one. The rank hypocrisy of Republicans in these matters is overwhelming and it speaks to their credibility as a party that they force their members to lie to their constituents about who they are in order to win elections.
If you have to lie about something as fundamental as your sexuality to win support from your base, there is something deeply flawed with your party and your politics.
