The mysterious relationship between homophobic president of Liberty University Jerry Falwell Jr. and his 20-something personal trainer Ben Crosswhite just got even more mysterious… Or less mysterious… We’re not sure which.
Yesterday, we shared a video posted back in March 2017 on Crosswhite’s Instagram page depicting him and Falwell working out together.

In the video, Crosswhite can be seen holding the camera out in front of him while Falwell pushes him on a sled from behind.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Come on!” he orders. “Faster! Come on! Push it!”
Falwell grunts in response.
“Let’s go!” Crosswhite demands. “Come on!”
This inspired us to do little more digging into Falwell’s Instagram page, where we found another, shall we say, gem.
On March 13, 2013, Falwell posted a picture of a rainbow without a caption. The post received a mere 23 likes and one comment. The sole comment came from Crosswhite and simply reads, “I love rainbows ;)”
We can’t help but wonder: What’s with the rainbow? And what’s with the winky face?
Last week, it was revealed that Falwell had arranged to give Crosswhite a sprawling, multi-million dollar, 18-acre fitness facility belonging to his non-profit university plus an additional $650,000 for almost nothing in return.
Both Falwell and Crosswhite denied anything nefarious was going on, with Falwell insisting he’s merely a “business mentor” to the young personal trainer, and Crosswhite putting out a statement saying that he has a wife who he loves very, very much.

Yet thousands of right-wing nefarious nutbags will not be discouraged to pay tens of thousands of dollars in tuition for their children to attend the zealots homophobic indoctrination “university”…..

There is no evidence that there is anything inappropriate between them. They have a working relationship that seems normal to me. Unless there is more concrete and verifiable proof, this whole thing is just the hearsay.

I’m not sure what constitutes “a working relationship that seems normal to me”….. but in my experience it doesn’t ‘normally’ include giving my employees a multi million dollar ranch and an additional 650000 dollars.
Nor the wonderfully generous gifts lavished upon the pool cleaner.

“Centeright” comes here only to defend homophobes and extreme right wingers. It is quite likely he is a heterosexual trying to provoke conflict. More and more there appear to be skeletons in Falwell’s closet, and right wingers, especially the fundamentalists and evangelicals think nothing of lying to protect their icons and idols.

I don’t think you know what “hearsay” actually means. This is speculation based on tangible evidence – documents showing that your favorite homophobe once again buying something exorbitant for a young, athletic piece of man jail bait.

Hmmm, wide-stance, Downton Abbey office, personal assistant to take pictures of me on all of my ‘fun’ vacation jaunts, or ‘someone to help me carry my luggage because I have a bad back’. In and of themselves, those are not solid evidence–however, they are smoking guns and where there’s smoke….

I agree, Falwell Jr. is just embezzling money from his business and this is a way to hide it. Hide it in your handsome trainers pockets.

HA! HA! HA!

How cute. They have their inside jokes 😉 That’s not even a real rainbow. If they’re getting it on, this trainer must be really good to be getting all that.

Has anybody heard Jerry talk? If so, is he gay (gaydar)?
BtnBill
Really , you think how he talks will determine if he is gay?? I have heard some daft things in my life and that deff gets in the top 10.

@BtnBill, as a gay man myself, some men’s voices are obvious as to being gay. Not always, but there are plenty that could NEVER hide if they wanted to. Why would anyone want to hide. Scream and be heard!
ShiningSex
they’re a couple. we all know it. they’re NOT doing a good job hiding it either.

Not only is it not an actual rainbow, it is the exact 6-color banding of the rainbow flag!

That’s the first thing I noticed too… is he trying to say he’s coming out?
