We can’t help but feel a wee bit sorry for Jerry Falwell Jr.’s former Miami pool boy, Giancarlo Granda. The poor guy appears to be an innocent bystander in the sex scandal currently plaguing the antigay Christian extremist and Trump devotee.
This week, the 20-something Georgetown University student had to put out a statement saying he doesn’t know anything–nothing, nada–about those “racy” photos of Falwell Jr. that everyone’s been talking about. He also asked people to stop calling him a “pool boy,” as he finds the term demeaning.

Granda’s attorney, Aaron Resnick, told Miami New Times that his client has “no idea about the alleged ‘personal photographs’” of Falwell Jr. and that he definitely isn’t the person who tried blackmailing the evangelical leader, adding that any reports suggesting otherwise are “absolutely false.”
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.
Meanwhile, an attorney for the Falwells has called the whole story “not accurate” and insists “there are no compromising or embarrassing photos of Falwell, period!”
But the statements have done little to quell the chatter on Twitter.
Here’s what people are saying…
Jesus loves me, this I know, because Jerry Falwell Jr may have sent the pool boy some dick pics yo.

From what I’ve read, it sounds like Jerry Falwell Jr paid a 21 year old pool boy, 2 million dollars to have sex with his wife, while Jerry watches. Either that or it was a threesome.

I can’t help wondering who enjoyed the “friendship” with the pool boy more. Falwell or his lovely wife.https://t.co/V5URjQ86Vg

Mmmmhmmm, I reckon the Bible says one man ought not lay with another. But if a man lays with his wife and a pool boy…and his wife takes pictures of him making out with the pool boy…well, I reckon the Good Lord probably thinks that’s okay….mmmmhmmm. pic.twitter.com/9gb1Q0KPWf

1. Pool boy had photos of himself with Jerry Falwell, Jr. and wife;
2. Falwell calls Cohen to fix it;
3. Cohen flies to FL to talk w/ pool boy’s attorney who then claim all photos were destroyed;
4. Falwell endorses Trump;
Cohen still has 1 photo https://t.co/gRlObQlXri

Good move by the writers, as the drama threatened to get bogged down in legalistic disputes over who can testify to Congress when, to introduce the Jerry Falwell Jr. racy photos device, nicely foreshadowed last season by the inconclusive pool boy story.

Does your beard hide your shame or your pool boys’ DNA?#FakeChristian

You’re not suggesting that Jerry Falwell Jr and the pool boy were having sex, are you? That’s shocking. You should be ashamed of yourself for even thinking it.

.@jerryfalwelljr blocked me but I hope he sees this:
I support you, Jerry!
There is NOTHING WRONG with having a threesome with your pool boy
And if you endorsed Trump to get Cohen to suppress photos of it
I understand
Your sexual relationship with him is NOBODY’S BUSINESS

I found one of @JerryFalwellJr‘s dick pics. pic.twitter.com/mIxVSpQAYq

Statement: Jerry Falwell Jr. did not pay money to Michael Cohen but he’s well aware Donald Trump‘s fixer did him a favor & tried to negotiate the return of graphic sexual photos during 2016 campaign. Falwell returned favor dumping Cruz for Trump. Cohen retains one photo as proof.

I know I shouldn’t take any joy from the whole from the sex pics/pool boy scandal that surrounds Jerry Falwell Jr… but I do. So much delicious joy. Nom-nom-nom.

This story is very bizarre but after connecting all the dots, it seems like the Fernandez family may have spoken to Cohen. Obviously this is all speculation based off all the reports and Tweets, but it seems like Jesus Fernandez Jr and Sr. should be investigated
I looked into Jesus Fernandez and he changed his name to Gordon Bello. I wonder why he changed his name…

Id really like to know what Cohen ‘fixed’ for Shawn Hannity. I hope its something thats shuts him up.

Wanna bet that the 1 picture that Cohen kept is in those magical mystery boxes in the storage unit at his apartment appears out of the blue?

Great news today: My Administration just secured a historic donation of HIV prevention drugs from Gilead to help expand access to PrEP for the uninsured and those at risk. Will help us achieve our goal of ending the HIV epidemic in America!!

Yuck. What are Donald Trump’s teeth made out of? Porcelain? Ivory? We can assume it’s one of the cheaper alternatives, like his sheep toupee.

Don’t diss the sheep…the wig looks more like an electrified stray cat; the color piss-yellow due to the poor animal losing bladder control as it fried, lol…sorry, PETA….

I continue to have no idea why Christians have an issue with homosexuality; Jesus himself hung out with 12 other guys constantly, and his best friend was a female hooker named Mary Magdalene whom was easy to forgive because he had no intention of purchasing her wares anyway, lol…and let’s not forget Ruth and Naomi, the two of them leaving their husbands to start up a roadside homeless shelter for people that society deemed ‘untouchable’; and ran it TOGETHER as equals, minus the hubbies they left in the wheat field. These were MY interpretations of the bible stories shoved upon me as a child, and I still love to debate the ‘Churchies’ to this day to prove otherwise. Yet now I know why Jerry Falwell Sr. was found dead at his desk from a heart-attack, a horrified look on his face; he must’ve accidentally seen the dick-pics sent to Junior’s phone, lol….whoops, and hallelujah, somebody’s got the spirit….!!!

Jesus Christ and the Four Gospels also never once mention homosexuality. NOT ONCE. The anti-gay hysteria is about fear and control.
jcoberkrom
Okay, yah gotta feel a little sorry for junior growing up with a homophobic parent. But at this point in his live there are no excuses.

Hate-spewing Falwell’s going to fall and it won’t turn out well for him. Cohen supposedly kept a photo, so I’m assuming that in a vault or a vault-like cloud storage space somewhere. Open that vault, Mike!

Me thinks the lady protest too much!
