His buddies at the Family Research Council aren’t even waiting for him to make up a good story, they are (apparently) assuming the story is true, [and he’s getting thrown under the bus](http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20004264-503544.html)as if launched by a well defined set of toned and muscley arms. Makes you wonder what might have happened in the past that they are not even questioning the allegations. Contacted for comment, the Family Research Council confirmed that Rekers was a member of its founding board. > [@](#): > > “Reports have been circulating regarding Dr. Rekers relationship with a male prostitute,” said Family Research Council President Tony Perkins. “FRC has had no contact with Dr. Rekers or knowledge of his activities in over a decade so FRC can provide no further insight into these allegations.” > > “While we are extremely disappointed when any Christian leader engages in the very activities that they ‘preach’ against, it is not surprising,” he continued. “The Scriptures clearly teach the fallen nature of all people. We each have a choice to act upon that nature or accept the forgiveness offered by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and do our best to ensure our actions, both public and private match our professed positions.” ---

It’s in our nature (except for gayness, which is a sin against nature, unless you’re a Christian minister preaching against it in which case it is your nature so long as you’re closeted ). But, being Christians, we all got get-outta-Hell free cards, so fuck it, in the words of our prophet from South Park, Colorado, “Whatever! Whatever! I do what I want!” and ask forgiveness afterwards. These douches don’t even make good nonsense. ---

> [@jayjay](#): > > You really don’t want to know what O.J. was doing in the airport in _those_ ads… Searching for who killed Nicole, as he’s said he’ll keep doing, of course. And he seems to be doing a good job of it, too, between golf games – most people, if questioned, would say that the person who did was clearly in the Miami Airport at the exact same time that he was. 😉 HRC, GLAAD, GLSEN, and their ilk are missing a bet, though – they would have a powerhouse of advocates if they simply organized into a pro-gay advocacy group all the experienced former anti-gay crusaders and money-raisers who were, uh, caught with their pants down and disavowed by DobsonCorp. ---

He’s apparently tracked the killers down to the Lovelock Correctional Center in Colorado. (Getting himself sent there was brilliant; it looked completely believable.) ---

I’ll just throw in Dr. Rekers’s [newest explanation](http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010/05/05/22302): > [@](#): > > Dr. Rekers found his recent travel assistant by interviewing different people who might be able to help, and did not even find out about his travel assistant’s Internet advertisements offering prostitution activity until after the trip was in progress. There was nothing inappropriate with this relationship. Professor Rekers was not involved in any illegal or sexual behavior with his travel assistant. ---

"There’s a young boy that I know; his age is twenty-two He makes me come way down in South Carolina i run an ex-gay program, and I’m lookin’ for some fun Someday soon, goin’ with him, someday soon. Jim Dobson does not like him ‘cause his ad’s on [Rentboy.com](http://Rentboy.com) He says he’ll only leave me hot and bothered But he’s always there to help me get my luggage up Someday soon, goin’ with him, someday soon." - Ian Tyson, somewhat revised for the occasion ---

I don’t get all the criticism here, as I think this Rekers dude acted in a very rational manner. I mean if you want to hire someone to carry your bags what are the first things that pop to mind? That’s right, go to a site called “[rentboy.com](http://rentboy.com)” and look for a 20 year old, 5’9’‘, 130 pounds, 28’’ waist size, 8x6" UNCUT, VERSATILE, NICE ASS, Puerto Rican. Makes perfect sense to me. :dubious: ---

Well, you have to admit that someone in Rekers’ shoes who did hire a personal assistant using [Rentboy.com](http://Rentboy.com) definitely has a lot of baggage! 😃 ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > I was intrigued by the idea that Rekers reserved two twin beds in London, so I’m going to surprise myself by defending him. Perhaps he was trying to help the kid get out of prostitution? In other words, perhaps he wasn’t boning the kid? Meaning that twin beds = no sex? I don’t think so. If I were traveling with another male with whom I was having an illicit affair, I’d probably book twin bed too. Looks better to the hotel staff, raises no eyebrows and doesn’t preclude a romp under the covers. Plus he might just not be into cuddling. 😉 ---
