Another Anti-Gay Leader Caught … You Guessed It, Daily Kos, May 4, 2010, by bink, quoted verbatim:

Comment by Evans Liberal Politics owner Paul Evans: As they say, “sometimes I just can’t help myself…”. God I really have to wonder at the duplicity, the sheer lack of any capacity of empathy or decency of these Christian leaders (and I am very much a Christian), when they say one thing and do the exact opposite in such a big way. THIS is the reason today’s youth is turning away from Christianity… it makes me sick to my stomach. I myself am bad here. I copied another author’s work exactly below when I did not have his permission, yet there is no email link at all to contact him, so that made me feel a little less bad…. but hey the video link I added at the bottom of the article (also not original from me) almost makes it all worthwhile….

From blogger Joe:

Notorious NARTH member and vigorous gay adoption opponent Dr. George Rekers was caught by the Miami New Times as he returned from a ten-day vacation with a young male prostitute that he hired on Rentboy.com.

…

Rekers is a board member of the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), an organization that systematically attempts to turn gay people straight. And the Huffington Post recently singled out Rekers as a member of the American College of Pediatricians — an official-sounding outfit in Gainesville  that purveys lurid, youth-directed literature accusing gays of en masse coprophilia. (In an email, the college’s Lisa Hawkins  wrote, “ACPeds feels privileged to have a scholar of Dr. Rekers’ stature affiliated with our organization. I am sure you will find Prof. Rekers to be an immaculate clinician/scholar, and a warm human being.”)

Oh, Rentboy.com …

…Happy source of relief for so many leaders of the anti-gay movement.

These stories are not infrequent but it is important for us to keep exposing them as they come along.  People like Rekers play a crucial role in influencing the opinion of the public and of elected officials when it comes to civil rights for gay people.

The “American College of Pediatricians” is a fake “national” organization of right-wing activists whose name was cleverly created to deceive the media about its membership and goals.

MORE:  Rekers is a co-founder of Dr. James Dobson’s Family Research Council.

Comment again by Evans Liberal Politics owner Paul Evans — DO NOT WATCH if you are under 18: South Park German Sick Fetish Video. To quote the commenter at Daily Kos, “Ridicule may lawfully be employed where reason has no hope of success.”

Yes, Virginia, there seems no limit to the bottomless pit in which the soul can find its depths…. Really.

Look I really don’t know what so many people have against gay, lesbian and bisexual people…. I don’t really get the hatred at all. I mean, it’s not my thing, but then, I wasn’t born that way…. Get with the program people! These people are mostly born that way. To shun them, to make them feel inferior, to deprive them of civil rights — and I’m not even talking marriage here, but such basic things as a partner’s right to medical coverage from insurance or inheritance rights — this strikes me as dead wrong. If we really must differentiate in some way and say “these people are different” and we as a society feel we absolutely must separate them out, then why, for God’s sake, not allow them all civil unions so that they may enjoy the basic civil rights and legal rights that any other American would enjoy. I will never be convinced there is any reason why not. Please do not bring any supposed lack of Christian faith on my part into this either. I’ll put my faith up against any of my readers any day. And I don’t care if “it’s in the Bible”. The Pharisees used the “rules” to come up with reasons to crucify Jesus, too.

It’s just like money…. “I am such a fine, Christian businessman”… that is unless you get in the way of my profits… Or: “If you think you don’t have any friends, try missing a few payments.”

Positions on gay rights engender the same hatred as with the whole immigration issue. Damn it, we are ALL immigrants here!
