Escort Revealed in Rekers Scandal -- The Advocate
<snip> Reached Tuesday afternoon by phone, a man purporting to be Roman repeatedly declined to discuss any details of being hired by Rekers for a recent 10-day trip to Madrid and London. “I don’t think people realize how serious this has gotten, and I would have talked about this had my privacy been respected,” Roman said, referring to his Rentboy.com profile, which was posted Tuesday byUnzipped, followed by several gay blogs. “There’s absolutely nothing else I can say,” Roman added. ----- In a Wednesday statement on his website, Rekers referred to Roman — known on his Rentboy profile as “Geo” and as “Mark” on a profile on Men4RentNow.com — as his “travel assistant” who was hired “to lift his luggage in his travels because of an ongoing condition following surgery.” “A recent article in an alternative newspaper cleverly gave false impressions of inappropriate behavior because of its misleading innuendo, incorrectly implying that Professor George Rekers used the Rentboy website to hire a prostitute to accompany him on a recent trip,” the statement read. “Dr. Rekers found his recent travel assistant by interviewing acquaintances, and only found out about his travel assistant’s alleged prostitution activity and Internet advertisements during the trip. There was nothing inappropriate with this relationship. Professor Rekers was not involved in any illegal or sexual behavior with his travel assistant." The Miami New Times broke the story in a Tuesdayarticle, referring to the escort using the pseudonym “Lucien.” The story was quickly followed in the LGBT media and mainstream outlets, including CBS News and TheWashington Post. Despite his statement, Rekers intimated in a Tuesday message via Facebook toJoe.My.Godblogger Joe Jervis that he had hired the escort as part of his ongoing Christian ministry. Rekers said he shared “scientific information on the desirability of abandoning homosexual intercourse” with the young man whom he had hired. “Like Jesus Christ, I deliberately spend time with sinners with the loving goal to try to help them,” Rekers wrote. ......... |

Contrary to false gossip, innuendo, and slander about me, I do not in any way "hate" homosexuals, but I seek to lovingly share two types of messages to them, as I did with the young man called "Lucien" in the news story: [1] It is possible to cease homosexual practices to avoid the unacceptable health risks associated with that behavior, and [2] the most important decision one can make is to establish a relationship with God for all eternity by trusting in Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross for the forgiveness of your sins, including homosexual sins. I wonder how he was able to do all this as he sucked his *assistants* dick... What an ass hat! Jesus told me to kick a juice box off his neck....

Isn't our community having a slut night something that would totally FREAK out an outsider? I'd hate to be judged for that one night.
I can see all the points, but I still don't know that it causes those of us who live a normal life (whatever that means) erasure or invisibility. I'm willing to learn though. Off to ponder. |

I am so not an expert in psychological theory, but my understanding of Jung's "shadow aspect" is that people tend to take the things they dislike about themselves and try to reject those things. But they can't really eradicate those qualities within themselves - they can only repress them.
From wikipedia - because I'm an intellectual like that - According to Jung, the shadow, in being instinctive and irrational, is prone to project: turning a personal inferiority into a perceived moral deficiency in someone else. Jung writes that if these projections are unrecognized "The projection-making factor (the Shadow archetype) then has a free hand and can realize its object--if it has one--or bring about some other situation characteristic of its power." These projections insulate and cripple individuals by forming an ever thicker fog of illusion between the ego and the real world. I do wish Jung hadn't used images of dark and light to make his point, but I do think he has a point that the things you repress/despise in yourself get projected onto others. I think it goes along with that saying, "The things you despise most in others are the things you despise most in yourself."

Frankly, if he were living as a private person, minding his own business and letting others live the way they want to, then he can hire all the rent-boys or whatever he likes, and do whatever he wants. I won't judge...and truly don't care. He can be open about his lifestyle, keep it a secret, whatever....his call. It's when people try to tell me how to live, legislate my morality and judge me...while acting hypocritically...that I get a little ticked off. Actually, more than a little. I'm glad he's getting a nice dose of public humiliation. He's earned it. I feel a bit bad for the escort, who didn't ask for this kind of publicity. But as far as Rekers goes...I'm ready to hold the juice box on his neck so Lady Snow can get a really good shot.

What makes a person shape their entire life around gay people, what the gays are doing, how bad the gays are, etc? I think it's gotta be a pretty short list of motivations.

George Rekers Is a Homosexual, Escort Says
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. |
