The RentBoy Speaks - (George Rekers Scandal)

[blogslut]

Courtesy of http://gawker.com/5532643/the-rentboy-speaks-george-rekers-liked-the-long-stroke">Gawker:

Two days after it was revealed that Family Research Council co-founder and rabid anti-gay activist George Rekers brought a male prostitute on a European vacation, the prostitute has publicly admitted that the pair did, indeed, have sex. Heavy petting type sex.

The beleaguered kid, whose pretend name is Lucien, spoke with The Miami New Times (which broke the original story) this morning and confirmed that, while he'd initially denied it, the two did have sex while on the trip.

Rekers allegedly named his favorite maneuver the "the long stroke" — a complicated caress "across his penis, thigh... and his anus over the butt cheeks," as Lucien puts it. "Rekers liked to be rubbed down there," he says.

It's a little weird that a sex worker would say "down there," right? Oh well.

Lucien claims that he was initially unaware of Rekers' hideous day job, but now that he knows what a particular sort of asshole his client was, he's apparently decided to speak up and set the record straight...

[NeedleCast]

1. Glad that "Lucien" had the courage to speak out

[AlbertCat]

72. Well he has the courage to have sex with strangers who pay for it.... so what's the big deal?

[redqueen]

95. Usually such things are discreet.

Discretion is part and parcel of his business, you might say. He's taking a risk exposing this hypocritical bigot.

Does that clear it up?

[Stevenmarc]

2. Obviously it's not only Gods rod and staff that comforts Rekers

[Hepburn]

9. Fucking-A ~~ Duzy Award!!!

:rofl:

46. Brilliant!!

71. Or is it?...

[fishwax]

75. .

:rofl:

[zenprole]

85. Full Service

...and then there's 'kiss the ring.'

[Cha]

3. Wow..the magnitude of the hypocrisy

of these religious zealots is mind boggling and neverending!

[Hepburn]

4. Reminds me of the prostitute that outed Ted Haggard.

Haggard was such and out-spoken anti-gay advocate...and a fucking hypocrite just as is Rekers. Pun intended.

[Mari333]

5. and there it is. but, we all knew it wasnt about carrying suitcases

how will the AFA respond...

crickets...

[Warpy]

11. Well, the FRC has spoken out

and denied Rekers has had anything to do with them for over ten years and who the hell is this guy, anyway? and that he's an elder churchman who deserves privacy and respect--huh?

So they've denied knowing him while telling us to respect all his great work in telling other people what he does himself is something they can't handle, but apparently he can?

I just wish the constant barrage of stuff like this would wake more fundies up to the fact that there is something seriously wrong with most antigay crusaders.

Now if only we could find Daddy Phelps's boy toy, but I strongly suspect it's one of his own kids and that kid is too frightened ever to speak out.

[Mari333]

13. wow they dumped him fast

'In the past 24 hours FRC has received calls regarding Dr. George Rekers and his connection with the Family Research Council. After reviewing the historical records we did verify that Dr. Rekers was a member of the original Family Research Council board prior to its merger with Focus on the Family in 1987.

Reports have been circulating regarding Dr. Rekers relationship with a male prostitute. FRC has had no contact with Dr. Rekers or knowledge of his activities in over a decade so FRC can provide no further insight into these allegations.

While we are extremely disappointed when any Christian leader engages in the very activities that they "preach" against, it is not surprising. The Scriptures clearly teach the fallen nature of all people. We each have a choice to act upon that nature or accept the forgiveness offered by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and do our best to ensure our actions, both public and private match our professed positions. '

so christlike of them and all...

[DRex]

54. "While we are extremely disappointed... it is not surprising..."

Lol, no shit! Ed Schrock, Larry Craig, Ted Haggard, Mark Foley, Roy Ashburn... Any MENSA members out there that might be able to pick out a pattern for us?

BTW, we're waiting, Dobson. Whenever you're ready pal.

[zenprole]

87. Falling Stocks

On Wall Street, they call it 'pump and dump.'

[11 Bravo]

31. Yes, I believe they said something along the lines of "George who?"

[AllyCat]

60. Ewww...you are probably right. Ugh, that man is truly an ogre.

[tomm2thumbs]

66. Internet Archives shows quite a history of Rekers... (links)

http://web.archive.org/web/20000815094936/


ah, the internet doesn't seem to allow an 'erase history of George Rekers' button - although the FRC likely wishes it did.

The first link is Family Research Councils post advertising Reker's page on their own website from early days - no doubt scrubbed off now, like the rest of their site with anything to do with Rekers as founding member of their organization....

http://web.archive.org/web/20000815094921/www.frc.org/issues/homosexual.html

If you click on the 6th entry, (added link below) just after 'Growing Up Straight' (chortle), you'll see Dr. George A. Rekers Homepage...

http://web.archive.org/web/20000815094936/www.leaderu.com/offices/rekers/index.html


Go there and you will likely see what the term 'self-loathing' quite possibly means.

articles include:

Gender Identity Disorder
Growing Up Straight: What Families Should Know About Homosexuality
Assessment and Treatment of Childhood Gender Problems
The Behavioral Treatment of a "Transsexual" Preadolescent Boys
Relationship of Measure of Sex-Typed Play with Degree of Gender Disturbance
Personality Problems Associated with Childhood Gender Disturbance
Sexual Problems: Behavior Modification
Stimulus Control over Sex-Typed Play in Cross-Gender Identified Boys
Assessment and Treatment Methods for Gender Identity Disorders and Transvestism
Sex-Role Behavior Change
Homosexuality in Adolescence: Interventions and Ethical Considerations

and the list goes on

[sohndrsmith]

77. whoa. DId you use the wayback machine? n/t

[tomm2thumbs]

79. welp

I started to look for the history of FRC, where they talked about the founders, and found notes of where they have supposedly erased his mention, but thought it was more interesting where he was linked on older pages from the internet archive and the list of articles he had written, so went that way instead. But heard they scrubbed their site, although may have had to put things back now as folks have spoken of it. Their old pages had Rekers mentioned in the history, but no longer. You can still find his name mentioned in FAQ which they might not realize is still available.

so to answer your question - yep

[sohndrsmith]

82. awesome - as an avid-but-unskilled research-wanna-be, I applaud you...

And I *love* your avatar...

[tomm2thumbs]

84. very unskilled here as well

but sometimes you get lucky - I didn't realize the link above his page is the article HE wrote, entitled: 'Growing Up Straight'
http://web.archive.org/web/20000815094930/www.leaderu.com/offices/rekers/docs/growing/index.html

from the intro...

'My wife, Sharon, and our three sons, Steven, Andrew, and Matthew, have tolerated Daddy's book manuscript all over the dining room table in various stages of writing and editing. I was able to write this book only with their permission, cooperation, and love'

Did not know about his 3 sons, so I wonder what they have been put through with someone so 'heavily involved' in their work

[Lorien]

78. Bag handling, maybe, but not suitcases...

:P

[Blue Owl]

6. "Rekers was interested in the salty contents of my sin bag"

I normally could care less about these things -- except when it's a fundy hypocrite who tells everyone else how to live.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

7. I just love Reker's furtehr explaination ---

abouy his "relationshp" with Lucien:

"For his part, Rekers still maintains that Lucien was brought along for the purpose of carrying the luggage. He's also now explaining that he found the lad on Rentboy.com, an obvious escort site, because he wanted to save someone's mortal soul, just like Jesus did. He posted this beautiful sentiment on Facebook:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Like John the Baptist and Jesus, I have a loving Christian ministry to homosexuals and prostitutes in which I share the Good News of Jesus Christ with them (see I Corinthians 6:8-11). Contrary to false gossip, innuendo, and slander about me, I do not in any way "hate" homosexuals, but I seek to lovingly share two types of messages to them, as I did with the young man called "Lucien" in the news story: <1> It is possible to cease homosexual practices to avoid the unacceptable health risks associated with that behavior, and <2> the most important decision one can make is to establish a relationship with God for all eternity by trusting in Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross for the forgiveness of your sins, including homosexual sins. If you talk with my travel assistant that the story called "Lucien," you will find I spent a great deal of time sharing scientific information on the desirability of abandoning homosexual intercourse, and I shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with him in great detail."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is just so much to love and work with in that statement! :D

[w8liftinglady]

12. good grief-

"If you talk with my travel assistant that the story called "Lucien," you will find I spent a great deal of time sharing scientific information on the desirability of abandoning homosexual intercourse, and I shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with him in great detail."
I'm sure after Lucien had to service Rekers it DID make him rethink homosexual intercourse.I can only speculate what Rekers paid Lucien to do.I'll spare the details.

[Blue Owl]

14. I think Rekers got shafted.

Somehow, Satan just got behind him!

[w8liftinglady]

16. hehe

[MadMaddie]

49. Blue Owl....too damn funny whew...man oh man

DU is on fire!!:rofl:

[glinda]

62. Ewwwwww

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[freeplessinseattle]

20. so he liked to school him in what a naughty boy he is? n/t

[noiretextatique]

27. he wanted to minister to Lucien...and have him carry the luggage

:wow: from Lucien's account, it seems Rekers wanted Lucien to minister to his penis :rofl: what will he think of next.

[CLANG]

93. This is my body, suck harder and you will see my "blood".

Christian perverts are the worse kind.

[knitter4democracy]

57. Sounds like "it depends on what the definition of is, is".

That's crazy thinking. Parse it down, he says that what he did was safe and wasn't really sex, and since he talked with Lucien about the Gospel, that makes it okay.

[smoogatz]

8. Not his fault! The Devil made him do it!

"The long stroke" is one of Satan's patented moves.

[CatWoman]

10. As Tweety would say

HA!!

[gratuitous]

15. Ball's in your court, George

In a manner of speaking.

[MindandSoul]

17. I guess that means that Reker didn't take the sex worker with him to "convert him," as he has stated

[Lyric]

18. I hope Rekers doesn't take the coward's way out and suicide.

He needs to be held to account, just like every other effing HYPOCRITE who makes millions trying to destroy innocent gay people and then spends them on gay hookers giving out "long strokes". Let him feel how life is on the OTHER side for a while. Maybe if he comes forward, redeems himself, and starts working FOR gay equality rather than against it, he might start to make up for the damage he's done--"start" being the operative word there. He won't EVER be able to make up for it all. He'd need to offer a lifetime of advocacy work for every gay person whose life HE has contributed to ruining, and he only has one life to give.

:grr:

[Touchdown]

19. I wonder if "The Long Stroke" is a pointer in Rekers' book?

[Ikonoklast]

36. Why am I suddenly reminded of this sketch?

[defendandprotect]

40. What's the story there . . . ???

Could probably guess but not familiar with that one--!!??

59. Note the wide stance on Daddy.

:rofl:

[Flubadubya]

104. No you di-int!

:spray: Bwahaha !!! :evilgrin:

[AlbertCat]

73. Why am I suddenly reminded of this sketch?

I dunno. One is funny....and the other is just pitiful.

[TlalocW]

42. I hate to use the word in a pejorative sense

But that book cover? Gaaaaaaaa-aaaaay.

TlalocW

[DRex]

55. Seriously. Is the subtitle of that book...

"behind the woodshed?"

[NBachers]

86. My God, is there anything that's NOT Freudian in that book cover?

[mortfrom]

Izzat really the cover?

So, now we cue "The Lumberjack Song?"

[mistertrickster]

97. The cover of that book looks like something from "Monty Python." I'm a lumberjack . . .

and I'm okay

I sleep all night and I work all day!

I like to wear women's panties, a girdle and a BRA!

(on edit) Ah ha, several posters have already made that observation . . .

[NorthCarolina]

21. WHat kind of sinners do anti-gay hatemongers prefer to have sex with?

53. good lookin' guy...

IF I were gay... I'd be attracted to him, too.

However, I'm NOT a hypocritical, bigoted hateful ass.

[AlbertCat]

76. good lookin' guy...

Yes, you'll notice he's not "ministering" to some down and out crack ho at the end of their rope.

[mod mom]

22. So then...he literally rubbed the asshole.

[MadMaddie]

47. Mod Mom another zinger...

:rofl:

[Quantess]

105. Hah!

[Aslanspal]

23. Why haven't others dropped him???

American Pediatricians

N.A.R.T.H : I think this would be the last , i got a feeling this place is filled with George Rekers.


We are all waiting to hear an answer.

25. Well, there goes the last of my heterosexuality.

Thanks.

48. BTW welcome to DU i love your user name!

[Junkie Brewster]

102. Thanks!

[guitar man]

26. hmmm...

I though he just hired the guy to lift his bag? :shrug:

[eridani]

35. I think it was the carry-on "bag" that he would not have been able--

--to put in the overhead compartment and close the door all the way.

[tomm2thumbs]

51. hahahaha - maybe he had to lift his bag to get 'down there' as he said

is it any wonder the far right is imploding
(in their pants, apparently)

[Incitatus]

58. technically nt

[snagglepuss]

90. Perhaps he meant teabag?

[Kablooie]

28. I wondered how freepers responded but found that nothing has been posted about Rekers.

They choose to ignore news that doesn't support their views.

[TalkingDog]

43. I was doing a Google search yesterday and a freeper page on the subject popped up.

But I wasn't going there. This story is slimy enough without adding a steaming load of crap on top of it.

[LynneSin]

29. But how was he with carrying the heavy luggage?

:rofl:

[Permanut]

30. All perfectly innocent

I read that the boy was hired to "handle" George's baggage. Anybody coulda made that mistake.

:sarcasm:

[olegramps]

32. These so-called Conservative Religious hypocrites are pathetic.

[grantcart]

33. Well that is a surprising turn of events lol

[defendandprotect]

37. Rise of the right wing :: rise of perversion ---

[progressoid]

38. "...speak up and set the record straight..."

Well, not exactly straight.

:eyes:

[KansDem]

39. Is this being reported in the CorpMedia?

I haven't been watching/listening to/reading FauxNews or its Wannabees...

[w8liftinglady]

41. well....Comedy Central-namely Stephen Colbert-did a great piece

no pun intended

[Kind of Blue]

45. The Ed Show is about to address it in a few minutes. n/t

[SalmonChantedEvening]

44. Who are ya gonna believe, me or the guy I paid?

Ummm...

[KansDem]

50. Why, the guy you laid...er, paid.

*whew* :blush:

[evilkumquat]

56. His Supporters/Followers Will Forgive Him

Because they ALWAYS forgive these douchebag hypocrites.

Stage One - Denial: This is where we are right now.

Stage Two - Apology: Cue tears and begging.

Stage Three - Forgiveness: His supporters will rally around their "fallen" brother and in a year or two, he will be right back in the saddle expounding on all the evils of homosexuality.

I really, REALLY wish people like Rekers would take Sam Kinison's advice.

[Hubert Flottz]

61. I guess some preachers like to handle copperheads and...

rattlesnakes and some prefer the old trouser viper or the one eyed whickerbill.

Looks like the dude been caught up playing dingle dangle dingle with the personal refriggments of his own gender. I think the GOP needs to adopt the Bobble-Bible to go with their worldly ass bobble-feets.

I think my spell check just found a spell somebody flung my way.

[jmm]

63. Not since Larry Craig picked toilet paper off of a restroom floor have I heard such a bad excuse.

It's ironic that people who have lived lies are such horrible liars.

[Arkana]

64. I lost it when I read about "the long stroke".

[QC]

67. Yes, I would rather not think about that repugnant man's anus. n/t

[nankerphelge]

65. Apparently some of my tax dollars may have helped fund the trip...

http://eqfl.blogspot.com/2010/05/breaking-news-attorney-general-bill.html

George Rekers, the "expert" witness hired by Attorney General Bill McCollum to defend Florida's anti-gay adoption ban has been caught with a male prostitute at the Miami airport, according to the Miami New Times.

Rekers was one of only two witnesses Attorney General Bill McCollum called in an effort to reverse a Miami judge who ruled Florida's adoption ban- the only one in the country- is unconstitutional.

McCollum paid Rekers and a colleague $87,000 for testimony that called gay people mentally unstable and advised that the ban should be expanded to include Native Americans because, Rekers claimed, they are also at much higher risk of mental illness and substance abuse.

[ismnotwasm]

68. Between long strokes and wide stances

I just don't know what to think. ahem.

[tomm2thumbs]

74. sounds like an FRC article 'Long Strokes & Wide Stances: Religious Right Excuses for Gay Sex'

self-help guide for the self-loathing

[complain jane]

81. LOL ugh

[Tarheel_Dem]

69. Good for Lucien. (nt)

[marmar]

70. "the two did have sex while on the trip"

You mean he didn't hire him strictly as his own personal valet? ....... No way !!!!

[sui generis]

94. *POW!* right in the reeker.

I am going to go wash my hands and keyboard now.

[complain jane]

83. Rekers was an

"officer of NARTH" and testified to prevent gay couples from adopting. What a douche.

92. BREAKING: Little boy prostitute on higher ground than CONservative leader!

well isn't that a kick in Conservatism's stinking judgemental ass.

kid's got a stronger sense of ethics than jeezus's buddy, there. Who'dathunk.

[caseymoz]

98. He went to a prostitute site just to hire a valet and insult our intelligence?

Here's a guy who has counted too long on his marks being idiots. Unfortunately for him, they're homophobes first, and their holy book is not kind to hypocrites.

everyone feels the need to break out their string of bad gay jokes and word plays? Doesn't seem very respectful to the gay community of people here and elsewhere.

Just a thought.
