"If today’s news story in the Miami New Times is accurate," said Rekers in an e-mail to me, "I have been advised to retain the services of a defamation attorney in this matter, because the fact is that I am not gay and never have been."

Um, I don't understand this. When Larry Craig said, "and I have never been gay." and now, Dr. Reeks (sic) saying almost the same thing.

 

Ben-Gay is an ointment not a condition.

 

Either you're gay or you're not. Even my friend who 'was gay' and now isn't agrees, he has never been gay - he is bisexual although now he refers to his sex life as mono-sexual - I have sex with the one person to whom I am married - my wife!"

Reker's Rentboy Appears on AC360 Tonight!

 

CNN correspondent Randi Kaye has scored the exclusive first interview with "Lucien" the escort/luggage boy! Anderson Cooper writes about the interview on his Blog: http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2010/05/07/an-ac360°-exclusive-“lucien”-the-male-escort-exposes-george-rekers/. Wonder if CNN had to pay the going rate for two-hours with "Lucien"?

rentboy.com speaks!

 

Maddow vs. Cooper

 

http://joemygod.blogspot.com/2010/05/no-match-maddow-vs-cooper-on-george.html

 

rentboy.com Mission Statement?

 

One of Rentboy.com's classic advertising slogans is "Take a Pornstar on Vacation...Find him on Rentboy.com."

 

This week an anti-gay activist and family values crusader named George Rekers was caught by the Miami New Times returning from a vacation with a rentboy, and the story has turned into an international media circus, with coverage on CNN, Colbert Report, BBC, The Daily Show, The Tonight Show and the blogosphere. We were completely surprised by this turn of events and we are following it closely. At rentboy.com, it is our policy to protect the privacy of any escort advertising his services on our site--the same goes for clients. Information exchanged between consenting adults meeting on our remains private. Mr.Rekers has built a highly public, lucrative career out of shaming gay men and women. If it is true that he took a rentboy "on vacation," then he has brought this negative attention on himself. We reserve judgment, we don't know all the facts.

 

Just to be clear, Rentboy.com is not an escort agency, we are an ad listing service for male escorts, where men place their own ads and work for themselves, so that clients can contact them directly. Our mission is to create a non-judgmental space where anyone curious about exploring male-male companionship can hire a man by the hour. We remain open-minded and devoted to privacy for the people who use our site, but we can't take the risk out of leading a double life, or having a closeted or hypocritical career... If you're a famous heterosexual homophobe and you appear in public with a rentboy with your pants down, you're just asking for trouble.

 

If you would like to Take a Pornstar or Male Escort on Vacation, Rentboy.com is where you'll find him. Excess baggage can indeed be heavy and there is nothing like a hot man to help you unload it.

2nd rentboy 'Chaz' looks like a real luggage lifter too...

Can't wait for AC360 tonite, wonder if Dobson will watch.

Rekers has four grown sons, and coincidentally, the youngest, a 21 year old, that lives with him in North Miami Beach has the looks to be a luggage lifter: handsome, athletic, blond wavy hair (surfer type). I suppose he just wasn't available for this trip.

Rekers has four grown sons, and coincidentally, the youngest, a 21 year old, that lives with him in North Miami Beach has the looks to be a luggage lifter: handsome, athletic, blond wavy hair (surfer type). I suppose he just wasn't available for this trip.

 

And Rekers adopted that handsome, athletic, blond wavy haired luggage lifter at the age of 16. HHHHHmmmmmmm.

 

Here's some interesting commentary from the Orlando Sentinel:

 

As someone opposed to stereotypes -- for example, the stereotype of deviant, child-molesting homosexuals put out by some social conservatives -- I will refrain from drawing any conclusions about the inner conflicts of those who seem just a bit too obsessed with, well, homosexuals.

 

Except to say, here we go again.

 

In 2008, I wrote about the state's legal battle to block foster parent Frank Martin Gill, a gay man, from adopting two abused children he rescued from a crack house. Florida lawmakers banned gay adoptions in 1977 during the state's Anita Bryant phase.

 

The Attorney General's Office hired Dr. George Rekers, a Miami psychologist and co-founder of the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian group, to defend the ban. Rekers considers gays immoral deviants, doomed to an early death and thereafter to eternal damnation.

 

So it understandably caused a stir when the Miami New Times busted Dr. Rekers for going on a 10-day European vacation with Lucien, a 20-year-old male prostitute who advertised on rentboy.com.

 

Don't you just hate it when Stephen Colbert names your expert witness the "Alpha Dog of the Week"?

 

Rekers didn't help his cause by claiming that recent surgery required he hire a "travel assistant'' to tote his luggage. To prove it, he sent the New Times this statement he said he drew up with Lucien: "We agreed that my travel assistant did in fact lift my luggage each time it was necessary, that I did not lift my luggage, and my travel assistant did all the lifting."

 

Meanwhile, the ever-lifting Lucien told the paper about Rekers' favorite massage techniques, administered while Lucien was nude.

 

If you think Rekers is a laughingstock, imagine how the Attorney General's Office feels. It represented the Department of Children and Families, charged with enforcing a gay adoption ban that DCF Secretary George Sheldon opposed when he was in the Legislature.

 

The Attorney General's Office paid Rekers $60,900 for his expertise.

 

Attorney General Bill McCollum said last week that his agency did a "thorough search" to find him. He said Rekers had a Ph.D. from UCLA and experience testifying in similar cases.

 

Rekers did testify in Arizona in opposition to gay foster parents. But the judge there called his testimony "extremely suspect and of little, if any, assistance to the court."

 

So much for a thorough search. McCollum then admitted the obvious about hiring Rekers:

 

"There wasn't a whole lot of choice."

 

It's almost impossible finding a credible mental-health expert who supports a blanket ban on gay adoption. Research shows that it's parent quality that matters, not parent sexual orientation.

 

Rekers was so embarrassing, even back in 2008, that McCollum's office blamed DCF for finding him. That infuriated a DCF official, who said the Attorney General's Office found him, which McCollum now confirms.

 

The Florida judge didn't find Rekers any more credible than the Arizona judge and tossed out the state's gay adoption ban. The Attorney General's Office is appealing.

 

McCollum says he is obligated to do so, having been hired by DCF to defend the 1977 law. Asked whether he supported the law personally, he said he couldn't comment on an active case. But he pointed out one of his campaign consultants is a gay man who adopted children in another state.

 

"Let's leave it at that," he said.

 

And I'll leave it at this.

 

In December 2004, a state welfare worker brought a baby and his 4-year-old brother to Gill in hopes he could provide them a decent Christmas. The older boy was dressed in filthy clothes, infected with ringworm and all but comatose. Gill took them in.

 

Almost six years later, they are a happy family.

 

We have a state agency that supposedly supports happy families and an attorney general who is OK with his gay consultant adopting children, trying to break them up because of a law that nobody in either agency admits supporting.

 

And eager to help them was a psychologist whose luggage handler advertises with rentboy.com.

I'd read somewhere that he had adopted one of his sons but couldn't confirm that it was B (the 21 year old). I'm pretty sure that Rekers and his wife are either divorced or separated and have been for at least ten years, so it would be interesting to know the specifics of the adoption. Lots of red flags on this guy.

Rekers on Facebook

 

I live for this crap--when a bigoted hypocrite is exposed to the world!

 

His Facebook pseudo account is "George Alan Rekers": http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001082011009#!/profile.php?id=100001082011009&v=info

Check it out, become his "gay friend" and leave the good Reverend a message...you know, something sweet like: "Eat Shit Rev. Rekers!"

Great story if it was't also so sad in so many ways. I hope it gets wider attention in the main street press.

 

What's so friggin' sad about this story?? It's hilarious. People should laugh in his face so hard that he goes deaf.

Evil clown falling face first into the very same pile of shit he spent a lifetime shoveling onto others... hilarious.

 

Man trapped in Evangelical Hell, tormented by demons he can neither understand nor banish, exposed in all his twisted shame to a jeering world... sad.

Well PT Barnum was right about a fool or was it a sucker born every minute? As long as these creeps have a following, they will continue. I was just reading that Ted Haggard-the other anti gay minister who was using a gay male escort and drugs too- is starting a new ministry!

Great post

 

Thanks for sharing this article. I had not seen it before. Although I am not a fan of country music, christian or otherwise, I really appreciate what he has done, and he gives hope to many others who are living closeted lives.
