Dr. Rekers: I had no idea RentBoy.com had Rent Boys on it....I'm like Jesus.....You all LIE !!!

[marmar]

Oh brother......



from the Independent UK:



....(snip)....

A somewhat damning photograph of the duo at Miami International Airport published by the Miami New Times showed Dr Rekers arranging heavy bags on a luggage trolley, while "Lucien" stood decoratively to one side. However he insists that it does not undermine his version of events.

"Pushing a trolley is not a problem for me," he said. "My surgeon's instructions are that I should not lift any object more than a few pounds because lifting is what would do damage to my body. My travel assistant lifted our suitcases from the conveyor belt and placed them on the trolley for me. He volunteered to push the trolley, which was nice but not necessary."

The big question now revolves around how exactly "Lucien" was hired. The New Times has quoted the sex worker claiming that Dr Rekers – who has appeared in court as an expert witness opposing gay adoption – had initially contacted him through www.rentboy.com.

But Dr Rekers strongly disputes this "slanderous" version of events. Although he refused to confirm or deny that he had ever visited the explicit website, which contains hundreds of pornographic images of men, he claims to have employed the travel assistant "by interviewing different people who might be able to help".

In fact, Dr Rekers maintains, he "did not even find out about (the) prostitution activity until after the trip was in progress. There was nothing inappropriate with this relationship."

When the scandal first broke, Dr Rekers compared himself to the son of God, who is said to have broken bread with the prostitute Mary Magdalene. "Like Jesus Christ," he told a reporter, he liked to spend time "with sinners with the loving goal to try to help them".

As to a leaked email he sent to "Lucien" discussing a second trip to Rome, which read: "Wow! I'm so glad I met you!" and announced that they would be sharing a twin bedroom, Dr Rekers claimed to again be the victim of "misleading innuendo". .............(more)

1. "...while 'Lucien' stood decoratively to one side..."

:rofl: Now that's some good writing :D

[ellie]

7. "I'm Lucien: ornament."

[roguevalley]

23. I can see it, you need someone, you go to helpful sites. Rentboy.

BearsRus.com, lipsticklesbos.org

[howard112211]

2. Jesus and Magdalene is probably not the best analogy to make his point with...

[malaise]

3. The comments are hilarious

:rofl:

5. This one CRACKS ME UP !!!!

"I too agree - I shall be using rentboy.com for 'gardening' services - my bush needs sorting"

6. Favorite comment here:

I feel sorry for this guy. Here he is, innocently looking for a chap to help him carry his luggage, and so searches for 'rent a boy' on line. Before he knows it he's accidentally lubed up and fallen naked with an erection quite literally into another man on multiple and repeated occasions over a period of two weeks. It could happen to anyone.



I love the British sense of humor.

4. Couldn't get one his kids to go along to carry his luggage?

Someone from his church or one of his organizations? Just hires a total stranger to accompany him to Europe. Yeah, suuure.....

[blogslut]

8. Have I mentioned

...how much I love this story?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

26. His motto is clearly "never say die!"

[gratuitous]

9. Sputtering gasps of a drowning man

If Rekers wasn't who he is, this would be horrible.

[KharmaTrain]

10. Ya Just Know...

...others will now step forward and drop the dime on this hypocrite. If he used this site for this excursion, had he used it or other ones in the past? I'm sure we'll be getting more details as the cone of silence has been broken. Then comes the liability...did he use organization funds? Were laws broken?

I also expect he'll get the Haggerty treatment...make some kind of announcement that he's undergoing some kind of "spiritual rehab" only to end up caught in some kind of situation in a couple years. His demons have demons...it shackles him from becoming free to accept who he really is.

[Hepburn]

13. Same thoughts here ~~ this cannot be Rekers's first time.

How old is Rekers? Mid-50s, early 60s? And this is supposedly a mistake and never in the past has he indulged in sexual conduct with a male?

Bullshit. He needs to stop lying and deal with the reality that he is gay. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay ~~ but lying about it and intentionally doing harm to other gays and/or lesbians is not acceptable whether he is gay, straight, bi or some other orientation.

The lying asshole has had his come to Jesus day ~~ now he needs to come clean about himself to himself.

11. This guy is the gift that keeps on giving

I gotta give this Rekers guy major props for taking a two-day story and turning it into a weeklong funfest.

[guitar man]

12. Hey, maybe there is some truth to it

I'm sure the young man lifted his bag for him :rofl:

[WeDidIt]

15. Yep, he just needed a little help lifting his sack

:evilgrin:

[SpiralHawk]

14. Maybe the "fat fingers" excuse would work for him?

It has a republicon ring to it...

[VMI Dem]

16. Unrec.

Aren't there enough of these rentboy threads?

[marmar]

17. Apparently not enough for you, since you feel so compelled to post in them.

[racaulk]

22. No, there aren't.

The importance of this story cannot be overstated. Rekers is a monster who was payed taxpayer money to use discredited "research" to needlessly harm gay families in Florida, all the while pretending to be someone he is not. Internalized homophobia is an ugly thing that manifests itself in destructive ways, and the fact that Rekers is gay himself (whether he admits it or not) and secures the services of male escorts is just delicious. There can't be enough schadenfreude at this man's expense, IMHO.

YMMV.

[EOTE]

25. +1. That just about sums it all up.

In addition to how incredibly important it is for these hypocrites to be shown for what they are, it's incredibly entertaining as well. I looooves me some schadenfreude.

18. "Pushing the trolley?" Dr. Rekers does know the Urban Dictionary definition for Trolley Pusher, yes?

Should we send it to him?

This guy is just a fountain of faux pas.

[howard112211]

19. The "Trolley Pusher" was "lifting the luggage" for him...

:rofl:

[howard112211]

20. I wonder if Rekers had a "wide stance" while his luggage was being lifted....

:rofl:

[sufrommich]

21. The comments under the article are hilarious. nt

[and-justice-for-all]

24. rekers is a lying piece of shit and a puke hypocrite...

you can try and hide behind your 'religion' all you want, but I still see right through you.
