Rentboy’s clientele

Difficult not to chortle when one of America’s more vocal anti-gay activists was found in the company of a man. A young man. A really young man. The kind of young man who advertises his services at rentboy.com.

(Hat tip to Joe.My.God.)

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 claims he only found out the rent boy was a prostitute halfway through this vacation, and that he hired him to “carry his luggage.” No word in the original article as to the rent boy’s age, but both he and Rekers claim nothing sexual happened on the trip.

Rekers is co-founder (with James Dobson) of the vigorously anti-gay Family Research Council and board member of NARTH, National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality, an organization that thinks it can turn gay people straight. Perhaps he thought he could bring the rent boy over to the team of straight-shooters. Since he no doubt thinks gay people are doomed to eternal hellfire, this might have been a mission of mercy!

UPDATE: Rekers responds to Joe. Nope, not gay. Nothing to see here, move along!

My hero is Jesus Christ who loves even the culturally despised people, including sexual sinners and prostitutes. Like Jesus Christ, I deliberately spend time with sinners with the loving goal to try to help them.

Did I call it or what? Line this man up for sainthood.
