Family Research Council founder hires a Rentboy

George Alan Rekers, a prominent anti-gay activist and cofounder of the conservative Family Research Council, recently returned from a 10-day trip to Europe with a male escort who advertises on a Web site called Rentboy.com, according to a May Miami New Times article that was lighting up the liberal blogosphere and gay media outlets Wednesday.

Rekers told the New Times he hired the escort to help carry luggage, not for sexual purposes, and that he only learned his companion was a prostitute midway through the trip. On Wednesday, he published a statement on his Web site decrying the New Times story as "slanderous."

There are a couple of threads on this from last week, Westie.

You'd think someone would have posted a story like this on a board like this one.

I don't care. I enjoy this story more every time I read it.

Sorry, I was out of town last week, and just catching up on "old" news. I wasn't checking the board for last week's subjects.

It's such a great story I don't mind being reminded.

Let's post the rentboy.com pictures all over again. That was fun.

Except the pictures of his friends that queerty.com took from his myspace page. That was creepy.

Did you see the pictures of the other guy he hired? George certainly has a "Type."

Any thread that's not a Tony thread is ok with me at this point.

Rekers quits National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality to fight 'false reports'

Oh I hope he fights them hard. So all the seedy little details from not just Jovani, but all his other rent boys can come to light.

I will relish his total humiliation.

Taz--how's the traffic on your rentboy.com page since all this broke?

I had to add a new section mentioning that I protect my client's privacy, but otherwise it's still hopping.

Taz, that's Jo-Vanni. Get it right, please.

And while we're chatting, may I suggest going with Taz-Ber?

Tell Bill McCollum: We Want Our Money Back!

Attorney General Bill McCollum gave $120,000 of our money to a discredited, anti-gay hypocrite named George Rekers. The courts had already deemed Reker's "expertise" junk science, and McCollum insisted on doubling Reker's pay to $120,000 from $60,000, ignoring the terms of a written agreement between Rekers and the cash-strapped Department of Children and Families. Finally, Rekers' anti-gay credentials were naturally called into question after he was caught traveling with a gay escort who advertised his services on a porn site.

Bill McCollum wasted our tax dollars on a bigoted, ideological crusade that keep children away from loving homes. Sign our petition below and tell McCollum: We want our money back!
