This is a GREAT story... a prominent anti-gay activist, George Rekers, caught with his 20-year-old male prostitute. I think the best part is Rekers' excuse that he hired the kid because he needed help carrying his luggage. (Yet he doesn't deny hiring the guy from Rentboy.com!)

It even gets funnier when the kid and Rekers both claim that they didn't have sex-- as if that makes a difference. (In fact, as the story says, "Who cares? It's even creepier if they didn't have sex. [...] If you go to Rentboy.com to have the company of a sex worker and not have sex, I think that shows a pattern of repression and delusion. That's just not normal behavior.")

This is usually the part where the rest of the anti-gay/ex-gay movement will say something like "well, he fell off the path, but God loves everyone, we'll pray for him, we hate the sin but love the sinner, etc., etc." and he'll quietly disappear from prominence. Just like every single time this happens (see John Paulk). Wouldn't it be easier for these people to just accept the fact that they're gay, come out, relax, have healthy same-sex relationships, and we can all move on with having happy normal lives?

Oh, that's right, I almost forgot: Jesus hates the gays and we're all going to burn in hell. Okay. I guess that's why it's better to hire a prostitute to travel with for a week, while spewing anti-gay hate all over the place and trampling on the rights of others in the name of religion and sham science. Riiiiiiiight.
