Christian right leader George Rekers takes vacation with "rent boy

Source: Miami News Times

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.

I love seeing hypocrites strung with thier own - uh- petard.

I greive for the people the Rekerts have damaged along the way do to their own self-loathing.

If it were truly OK to be free in this country, people like Rekers wouldn't need to punish others for their own self hatred.

And that's the part I hate - that it's easier for some to destroy lives than admit who they are and love themselves for it.

Tragic, really.

Lose the thesaurus, you guys--you're reporters, not novelists! And even though I'm not gay, I take strong exception to "busily sodomizing each other:" why does homosexuality have to be portrayed so in such a primal, cheapening matter?
