Most of you living in the ubermodern, gay world of tweets and the blogosphere are already aware of this story (broken about 15 hours ago) yet it has inspired me to blog again.  This man is despicable and I just can’t let this one go.  For those of you who don’t know, here is the story, which details George Rekers, world class asshole and cofounder of viciously anti-gay Family Research Council, arriving at the Miami Airport with his male trick:

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.

Reached by New Times before a trip to Bermuda, Rekers said he learned Lucien was a prostitute only midway through their vacation. “I had surgery,” Rekers said, “and I can’t lift luggage. That’s why I hired him.” (Medical problems didn’t stop him from pushing the tottering baggage cart through MIA.)

Yet Rekers wouldn’t deny he met his slender, blond escort at Rentboy.com — which features homepage images of men in bondage and grainy videos of crotch-rubbing twinks — and Lucien confirmed it.

What a punk ass motherfucker!  This guy spends his life fighting to bring down the quality of life for all us beautiful gay people who are just trying to mind our business.  This bitch fights to make sure we cannot get married and cannot have kids.  This man keeps homophobia alive, which in turn, keeps little gay and lesbian teens beat up in American high schools every year all over the country.  This man IS A HOMOSEXUAL HIMSELF.

Here is  a detail of some of his life work [Read more →]

        

I know I come across scathing with the Evangelicals.  But I am a gay man, just trying to live my life.  Of course there is some resentment there.  Now, in the name of not getting a rage induced ulcer by 40, maybe I should take a moment to point out something postive and good about these often dismally homophobic and bigotted people; their children.   They are more modern and understanding than their parents, not suprisingly.  In fact, if you take those that support civil unions and combine it to those who support gay marriage, more than 50 percent of evangelical youngsters now have our back!   Here is a blog taken from the GLAAD website:

Survey Shows Greater Support for Marriage and Civil Unions Among Young Evangelicals

A new poll of young evangelicals shows greater levels of support for LGBT issues. The poll of 2,000 young adults with conservative religious views in Political Research Associates’ Spring 2009 edition of Public Eye reported that young believers are more than twice as likely (24% to 10%) as their elders to support same-sex marriage.

Another 32% support civil unions—totaling 55%.  Public Eye argues that the trend of coming out at a younger age to one’s friends is contributing to young evangelicals’ changing their perception to positive views on marriage for same-sex couples.

An earlier survey, conducted by the conservative Barna Group in 2007, found that 80% of the 16 to 29 year old evangelical churchgoers who responded to the survey felt that present-day Christianity shows “excessive contempt and unloving attitudes towards gays and lesbians.” The Barna assessment also added that churches were not helping young people relate to their gay friends.
