Anti-Gay Christian Right Leader George Alan Rekers Caught Returning from Vacation with 'Rent Boy'
http://www.towleroad.com/2010/05/antigay-christian-right-leader-george-alan-rekers-caught-returning-home-from-vacation-with-rent-boy.html

George Alan Rekers, a founding member of the Family Research Council with James Dobson and Amandi Nicholi Jr., was caught returning home from a European vacation in mid-April with a young man he hired on rentboy.com, the Miami New Times reports:

"On April 13, the "rent boy" (whom we'll call Lucien) arrived at Miami International Airport on Iberian Airlines Flight 6123, after a ten-day, fully subsidized trip to Europe. He was soon followed out of customs by an old man with an atavistic mustache and a desperate blond comb-over, pushing an overburdened baggage cart.

That man was George Alan Rekers, of North Miami — the callboy's client and, as it happens, one of America's most prominent anti-gay activists. Rekers, a Baptist minister who is a leading scholar for the Christian right, left the terminal with his gay escort, looking a bit discomfited when a picture of the two was snapped with a hot-pink digital camera.

Reached by New Times before a trip to Bermuda, Rekers said he learned Lucien was a prostitute only midway through their vacation. "I had surgery," Rekers said, "and I can't lift luggage. That's why I hired him." (Though medical problems didn't stop him from pushing the tottering baggage cart through MIA.)


The louder they yell the more they have to hide. Excuse me while I enjoy a little schadenfreude.....

5. Did you read his reply to a commenter?
He was just showing "Lucien" the error of his ways and was counseling him on how to stop being gay. Uhhh Ya Right!

22. I don't think you meant it that way
Unless you really do think gay sex is pathetic. :shrug:

Btw; I can assure you, there's nothing less pathetic or more exiting than gay sex!

12. A self righteous hypocrite who rails against the very thing he practices
It would be like me railing against bigamy. No matter how you might feel about bigamy, it would be damn cheeky of me to rail against it since I live in a triad (that's bigamy for those of you confused)

Needless to say, I support responsible non-monogamy in all of it's forms.

9. That part doesn't make sense....
He didn't know that Rent Boy was a gay escort site? Also his "excuse" is that he was showing "Lucien" the error of his ways and was trying to cure his homosexuality through biblical teachings. I love it when these scumbags try to lie their way out of their hypocrisy.

With all of the screaming he and his do, I would not be surprised to find out that the old man has a few boys on the side, too.

18. Ehhhh....
I'd be surprised to hear about a few boys.

I'd be far less surprised to hear about many, many, many boys; animals, drugs, satanism, insanity, multiple personalities, dungeons, underground tunnels, human trafficking, bestiality, torture and snuff films.

33. Hey Thanks!
Jeez a guy's gotta work sometime!

I now see that Tony Perkins has renounced Rekers while seeming to not to know who he is. This gets better and better.

36. When will the ex-gay/"homosexuality is a choice" crowd just give it up already?
Add Rekers to the list of notable self-proclaimed "ex-gays" who relapsed. And consider the junk studies funded by the religious right that try giving credibility to the theory that sexual orientation is a choice.
