George Alan Rekers ‘Was Not Involved In Any Illegal or Sexual Behavior With His Travel Assistant’
—George Alan Rekers in a statement on his own site, contradicting his own earlier statements about why he’s traveling with a rentboy
The very definition of Slander is something that can impact your livelyhood. So if this article WAS Slanderous, why hasn’t he had an attorney file an injunction against the paper? Why hasn’t he begun proceedings to get the paper to print a retraction? Remember, when they don’t immediately file it’s because the story is true. When the Enquier reported that Marty Kate Olsen was annorexic they said they were “Looking into their legal options” well a month or so later she admitted she was annorexic. When it was reported that Lindsay Lohan was a drug addict her mother came out and said they were “Exploring their legal options” well the girl ends up in rehab a few months later. This guy could lose everything if this story gets out there, and yet he hasn’t had the Family Research Council Attorneys go after this paper…..that is a complete admission that it is all true.
And lastly, if he hired the kid to carry his luggage, why is he carrying the luggage in all the photos. Hey George, how does it feel to have everybody know that you are a great big fag?

Notice that Rekers didn’t seek a professional bag handler. Yeesh, it’s not like he couldn’t tip or hire a “porter” or his driver to get luggage from point A to point B and back again.
Once Rekers was in his hotel, why did he still need his sac –I mean bags– “handled” ?
Can you say “Crash & burn”?
How about “Quick fall from grace to disgrace”?

@jeffree: @jeffree: J. you used to be one of my favorite posters, I have to reconsider that now that you have made me see the words “Rekers” and “his sac” in one sentence, something I can never unsee!!!! :-p

No. 6 · David in Houston wrote, “…and this explains why he solicited Rentboy.com for “personal assistant” services?”
Well, he could say that he wanted to rent a “boy” to carry his luggage so he tried “rentboy” (one now-unacceptable usage of “boy” listed in Dictionary 2.20.0.1: “In various countries, a male servant, laborer, or slave of a native or inferior race; also, any man of such a race; — considered derogatory by those so called, and now seldom used. [derog.]“) Such use of the term “boy” was at one time popular among southern bigots in the U.S., so he can claim he picked up that use of the term while growing up.
Stretching it? Any port in a storm and he’s in a category 5 one.

I once knew a single preacher who was not celibate, and who told me privately that the most important rule for single preachers is, “Don’t fuck the flock.” Basically, that means he should not date anyone who attends his church, or even anyone who lives in the same community, because doing so might expose his private life to criticism.
This case seems clear enough to me. Rekers went to a web site instead of posting an ad or cruising a local bar, specifically so he wouldn’t be noticed. He hired the guy online, also to avoid being noticed. They even traveled away from the parish to avoid being noticed. His mistake was dating someone who lives in his same community. And, Rekers was a big enough profile that he got noticed.
For Rekers, to get caught dating any male is a very big deal, much worse than dating someone in the same church. And, getting caught with a male prostitute is an even bigger deal. His reputation is destroyed. His career is over. And his own virulent attacks on gay people are over.
Now, if some of the stain would stick to the Family Research Council, Focus on the Family, and NARTH. I am sure they are all in full damage-control mode, already.

I Love it when the outed hypocrites go into panic mode and start vomiting out one ridiculous lying excuse after another. That sad queen is one step away from rocking back and forth in a corner mumbling and scratching himself like Whitney Houston on a crack binge.

Even if one wanted to believe Mr. Rekers, the one thing you can’t get around is why go to Rentboy.com to get a “traveling assistant/companion”. That is BIZARRE. It doesn’t make any sense. As others have posted, there is craigslist, your local church, etc. Not a sex website.

@scott ny’er:
Quite. When most preachers wants almost anything, they almost always start by asking in the church. In most churches, there are people who are willing and able to do almost anything for the preacher. He would only need to mention the trip in the weekly announcements, and ask if anyone wants to go along. I’m sure one of the deacons could have gone.

One of the funniest comments I saw was “Jesus Did Not Take The Sinners And Tax Collectors To Spago One At A Time” (from http://www.popehat.com/2010/05.....at-a-time/ and attributed to someone named Ken).
Rekers apparently understands Jesus’ limitations – no budget to speak of. A 21st Century “Jesus” would certainly take “sinners and tax collectors” to Spago one at at time and would make sure that someone else paid the bill! In 0 to 30 AD, they hadn’t yet discovered marketing and business models.

Dear George: Travel Tip: They’re called Skycaps, and for a couple of bucks, they’ll take care of handling your baggage. Though I doubt they can take care of the baggage you’re now stuck with lifting.Hope this saves you a few bucks next time.

This story just keeps getting better and better!!! If ya check his site, it is no longer functioning. The Gays most likely crashed and burned his site. Too bad, it was so ironic almost every post he made was about the “evils” and “deviance” of all things Gay……………………
And silly me!, I had absolutley no idea that the ideal site to find “travel assistants” was on Rentboy.com! Who knew??? :-p
