What is that phrase? “The lady doth protest too much, methinks,” you can swap “the lady” with “the man” and have the perfect scenerio when it comes to the right and some of their most outrageous outspoken cage rattlers. Pretty soon we’re going to hear that Pat Robertson has come out of the closet(Shudder!)

Family Research Council co-founder George Rekers went on a trip to Europe and took a lovely rentboy with him. He’s claiming he didn’t know until the middle of the trip – but when you get an escort from RentBoy.com what exactly do you expect you’re going to get?

From the Miami Herald:

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.” (Though 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.

Rekers has done a lot of damage to children and families with his group National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), an organization that systematically attempts to turn gay people straight. He authored several books, including “Shaping Your Child’s Sexual Identity” and “Growing Up Straight: What Every Family Should Know About Homosexuality,” both aimed to prevent kids from becoming gay.

Rekers was used as an expert witness in Arkansas and Florida in favor of banning gay adoption. His associates in NARTH have been found to be less than righteous Bible thumpers. According to TruthWinsOut.org:

On February 15, 2010, a Truth Wins Out (TWO) and South Florida Gay News (SFGN) investigation revealed that Arthur Abba Goldberg (on the board of directors of NARTH) was a Wall Street criminal mastermind who was convicted in 1987 of “fraud of spectacular scope”.
