Bigots, rent boys, and right-wing Christian hypocrisy -- update

By Michael J.W. Stickings

More on the George Rekers hypocrisy extravaganza -- on which I first posted here -- from the Miami New Times:

The male escort hired by anti-gay activist George Alan Rekers has told Miami New Times the Baptist minister is a homosexual who paid him to provide body rubs once a day in the nude, during their ten-day vacation in Europe.

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

In his first interview since New Times broke the story Tuesday, the 20-year-old escort, who prefers to go by the name Lucien, contradicts Rekers's contentions that he hired the escort to help carry his luggage and that he was trying to save the soul of a lost sinner.

Although Rekers does have physical ailments that make it difficult for him to haul suitcases, Lucien wasn't hired to carry luggage on their European vacation, the escort says.

"It's a situation where he's going against homosexuality when he is a homosexual," Lucien says.

Personally, I don't care what Rekers is into -- as long as it doesn't involve children or animals. But I do care that he's made a career out of promulgating anti-gay propaganda and working to "convert" homosexuals, and that he's been a major player on the bigoted, anti-gay Christian right along with the likes of James Dobson.

Forget this "Lucien" character. Rekers can go fuck himself.
