Jerry Falwell Jr. clearly has a type. The vehemently homophobic president of Liberty University likes them young, white, musclebound, and in their early 20s.
Last week, it was revealed Falwell arranged to give his personal trainer, 23-year-old Ben 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.
This was in addition to the $4.7 million he also gave to his 20-something pool boy, Giancarlo Granda, who he originally met a hotel while on vacation, to purchase a youth hostel in the Miami area.

Crosswhite’s Instagram page has 2.6K followers and most consists of shirtless pics, gym selfies, and photos with his wife and dogs. There are also several photographs of Falwell. And a video that has everyone talking.
In the video, Crosswhite, dressed in short black exercise shorts, can be seen holding the camera out in front of him while Falwell pushes him on a sled from behind.
“Come on!” Crosswhite orders. “Faster! Come on! Push it!”
Falwell grunts in response.
“Let’s go!” Crosswhite demands. “Come on!”
In another post, Crosswhite can be seen riding a horse bareback at Falwell’s ranch in Goode, Virginia. The photo’s caption reads: “Bucket list check off-riding a horse bareback while it swims in the lake. Thanks @jlfjr62 @julie_wallace_lowery.” (@jlfjr62 is Falwell’s since-deleted personal Instagram page.)
Falwell has a similar photo of himself on his official Instagram page.
Meanwhile, over on Twitter, people are having a field day with the whole Jerry Falwell Jr./personal trainer narrative:
So is Jerry Falwell Jr. having sex with his personal trainer, too, or do you think this is more of a cuckold and/or group situation?

In the name of Christ I rebuke most Evangelicals…especially Jerry Falwell Jr and his young pool boy and the personal trainer also.

Totally legit and not at all weird that Jerry Falwell Jr. shared with his “personal trainer” some of the not-for-profit Liberty University profits. Also not weird, he loaned a “pool boy” more than a million$$. No, this is fine. Downright Christian even…. https://t.co/r3uK5gLH07

Jerry Falwell Jr. seems to have some business dealings with a mid-20s Italian poolboy who opened a gay-friendly hostel in Miami. Never mind his dealings with his personal athletic trainer. Is this same-sex attraction? Is Jerry Falwell Jr going to hell?

Why do we get the feeling there are still more shoes waiting to drop?

I’m beginning to feel sorry for him. This kid was raised in a cocoon and I’ll bet it was one of Falwell’s trusted male advisors assigned to supervise him that he had his first sexual encounter. This guy sounds very lonely and was not schooled in how to spot an opportunist. Its clear he is a sitting duck and doesn’t realize it. This should be the last straw because people are beginning to talk and put two and two together.

being closeted is sad. being homophobic and obviously gay is sad
TomG
The thing is that it’s not even money he actually earned he gave away, it’s money from donations for his so-called “Christian” congregation.
GabrielKing1660
I’m beginning to feel sorry for him. This ki….- I can’t agree with you more But i am here not only to discuss this article but I would like to share with you new but absolutelly brilliant site for gay singles only. It is still private, but you can find it easy. Just google: “73a2BemQSOfugu6lu7867650” .

we def have the same tastes…. so much more to come out on this…. i relish the reveal, yummy.
JED08
I need more information. I think that I need to see the trainer’s D and balls before I know how I feel about all of this.
ShiningSex
If anyone doesn’t see that they’re a couple then they’re idiots
toddlicious
He’s just another dumb trump lovin’ pretty boy who doesn’t care how he gets his money because he loves god and America even though he’s pribably pretty un Christian while doing so…
M K
The video is proof enough that Falwell is one big sub-bitch-bottom…
boymikefl
This guy is another Wade Robson (Michael Jackson’s accuser). A conman as Falwell’s juices flow, he’s being outed to his mindless flock & the entire world.
Roan
Well, Falwell certainly has a type, doesn’t he? When you see the Jezebel wife he has, the sex kink / cuckhold theory seems much more plausible.
calpoidog
I think people need to leave the two young men alone. Maybe Falwell has some weird fascination with them but there is nothing to indicate it was reciprocated or that there was anything sexual. The fact that everyone jumps to conclusions without any facts and without considering how you’re impacting the lives of two people (much less making them prone to hating the entire gay community as a result) is terrible.
Couldn’t care less about Jerry Falwell and everyone can heap as much much crap on him as they can but really…these guys may just be taking advantage of an opportunity handed to them and there’s no quid pro quo going on.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Oh look another troll has slithered onto Queerty! Falwell and his smcubag Father have spewed anti Gay hatred for decades. Their “university” is a breeding ground to train anti Gay zealots. He has given millions to buff young guys. If there is nothing nefarious going on, why hasn’t he done same for some overweight unattractive young guys?
Go the fcuk away!
curiobi
Sure Jan
TheBigOne
Yeah daddy, push it in, push it in faster.
Just like that, faster daddy, FASTER!
You can do it, faster daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!
curiobi
Thank you for summing this whole thing up! Obvious closeted homophobe is obvious. Sick of his stupid face at this point. Him and his beard-wife are creepy and obsessed with being weird with and then paying off men young enough to be thier son.
NateOcean
I was just skimming this article and all I picked up was ” Falwell”, “bareback”, and “push it”.
I’m assuming when the scandal photos inevitably appear, the will involve Falwell, on all fours, a can of Crisco, some rubber gloves, and some twink’s arm–elbow deep–inside Falwell.
Malibu Eric
So who is popping the popcorn? You KNOW this story is going to get better and better, Amen!! LOL
Kangol2
Yet another sad, closted/DL self-loathing Talibangelical Republiqueen. It would be pathetic except that he’s fomented anti-gay hate for years, runs a university that trains young people to do so, and rabidly supports that racist, treasonous anti-Christ oaf of a president and anti-gay fanatic VP we’re stuck with till November 2020. Frau Falwell Jr.’s full outing can’t come soon enough.
maxdadmark
How can Junior love Jesus? He wasn’t white and over 30 years old?
Kangol2
Um, his Jesus most certainly was white, and he performed miracles up through turning 30 (until he was 33). I get the feeling, though, that he probably would have turned on Jesus once He started preaching all that righteous, social justice-related stuff.
RIGay
This is why I watch “The Righteous Gemstones”. The “Kelvin / Keefe” relationship is pretty much this, spot on!
JaredMacBride
I’m thinking we’ve got financial shenanigans at work here. The first thoughts of preacher are always about money.

The young guy looks like one of my exes who is actually gay. I don’t think this guy is gay or bi or doing anything gay related with Falwell. Falwell may have allegedly bought the trainer a house or whatever, and as questionable as that may be, it’s not because the young guy is his secret lover. That young guy has a wife and child he’s always canoodling with. There are no signs of him even sneaking around in a gay situation with the older Falwell. Believe it or not, outside of gay connections, straight guys do have bromance like tight relationships with each other that includes everything but actual physical intimacy. Doesn’t mean they’re gay.
The young guy is a conservative that quotes Bible quotes and is pro-life, not that that means he’s anti-gay or not gay, but the probability is that he’s not. While I’ve seen conservative bible quoting trump lovers being totally pro-gay and vocal about it, we know that is in the minority still.
This story that’s being perpetuated on this site about the two having some kind of gay thing going on between Falwell and the trainer is all gossip and fantasy. This goes back to the idea that some gay men like to believe certain straight guys are gay or they can be turned gay, when that just wouldn’t happen in a million years, the same way a gay guy can’t be turned straight. It’s all more gossip and fantasy. Basically a waste of time when there’s nothing else to do or talk about.
It’s not unusual for rich people to buy homes for people. We know that as bad as people say Trump is, when he had that flat tire on his limo, a husband and wife pulled over to fix the tire, not realizing it was Trump’s. Trump asked them how to repay them. The husband said just send my wife some flowers and that’s sufficient enough. Trump had the flowers sent with a bank confirmation that he also paid off their homes 30 year mortgage. I doubt he was sleeping with them too.
Kangol2
Yeah, OK, if you believe that nonsense, but how do you explain the huge gift to the pool boy?
curiobi
Do you also write romantic fan fiction like this for Penthouse?
LilMesican
I’ll say it, if Falwell shaved the beard, trimmed the chest hair he’d be on my radar.
If I didn’t know who either of them and saw this story I would say they were intimate in some way.
darkanser
And this Jerry Falwell, Jr. is such a silver fox, a nice looking man!!! I’m torn!!!
