An inevitable ending has come in the classic tale of Jerry Falwell Jr. and the pool boy — Falwell has officially resigned as president of the Christian conservative Liberty University.
The resignation comes after Giancarlo Granda, the former pool boy of Falwell and his wife, Becki, told Reuters that that he would regularly have sex with Becki while Jerry watched.
“Becki and I developed an intimate relationship and Jerry enjoyed watching from the corner of the room,” Granda, now 29, alleged.

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.
Judging by the conflicting reports on Monday, Jerry’s decision to step down was not an easy one. First, the school announced he’d agreed to resign, then Falwell told media outlets he hadn’t agreed, before confirmation came that he finally had.
In a statement to ABC News, Falwell attempted to excuse his hypocrisy by saying he wasn’t a pastor:
“I was never called to be a pastor, my calling was to use my legal and business expertise to make Liberty University the evangelical version of Notre Dame. Some of us are called to be preachers, that wasn’t mine. I was called to make Liberty University the greatest Christian university in the world and I couldn’t have done that as a preacher.”
Falwell Jr., an early Trump supporter, is the son of the late Reverend Jerry Falwell, the ultra-conservative televangelist who founded the university. Liberty University has a strict code of behavior for teachers and students not to mention a ban on LGBTQ students and staff.

Falwell had already agreed to take “an indefinite leave of absence” after he posted, then deleted, a photo of himself with a woman who is not his wife, both with their pants undone, partying on a yacht.
Liberty University put out a statement late Monday night:
“The Executive Committee’s Board of Trustees asked Falwell to go on indefinite leave of absence on August 7, to which he agreed. Since that time, additional matters came to light that made it clear that it would not be in the best interest of the University for him to return from leave and serve as President. The Executive Committee met this morning and a conference call gathering of the full Board was planned for tomorrow. Falwell responded by agreeing to resign immediately as President of Liberty University today but then instructed his attorneys to not tender the letter for immediate resignation. The Executive Committee will go forward with its meeting in the morning followed by the full Board.”
Now that the news about the pool boy has been confirmed, is the personal trainer next?

Whether Jerry Falwell Jr. was “called to be a pastor” or not, he has served as a major ultraconservative Christian educator and arbiter since taking the reins from his father. He has condemned LGBTQ people and banned out LGBTQ faculty, staff and students, and denounced hetero people not practicing what he has deemed acceptable social and sexual behavior. He also has actively supported politicians, jurists, other clergy people, institutions, and policies that are demonstrably oppressive and hateful to LGBTQ people and even hetero people who do not follow the strictures he and his university promulgate.
It is the height of irony, then, that this horrible man and his wife are now publicly disgraced because of their own behavior and failure to abide by the “code of conduct” to which they held others, by engaging in adultery, cuckholding fetishism, possible payoffs to buy silence, and so on. No matter how he tries to spin this, the truth is out, and it reveals the falsity of everything he has been preaching and advocating.

Whenever some religious leader is rabidly anti-LGBTQ they always seem to be covering up the fact that they’re hiding massive scandals and use attacking us as a way to hide the fact that they’re lying hypocrites.
Being a massive bigot, they may has well just wear shirts that say “Self hating closet case”.

They don’t call religious nuts “batshit crazy” for nothing. Remember they who preach the loudest, are usually the very ones guilty of hypocrisy and sexual deviancy.

HE keeps saying he and his wife fell pray to an ambitious climber but the kid was 20 and they are the age of his parents so I doubt very much they were the naive ones. I wonder who he was watching when he was spanking it and if he slowly crept over to lick some balls and taint
Max
if the kid wasn’t there, he probably couldn’t bust…

clearly ONLY was watching the young huge hard penis going in and out! It is the best part of being a cuck!

This went on for 7 years. Look at the way he holds those young guys in the many pics taken. There’s a sexual energy there for sure.
No way he just sat in the corner just fapping away.

Any deranged and sex obsessed man who harbors dark and unspeakable fantasies in their dirty mind needs to be institutionalized in a psyche ward.
gayamerican
being into cuckoldry isn’t dark and unspeakable fantasies. Lots of homosexual and heterosexual relationships thrive and are happy in cuckolding relationships.
Chrisk
The only deranged mind is yours.

If I remember correctly Falwell’s father, Jerry Falwell, Sr., once gave an interview where he said that he had lost his virginity in an outhouse to his own mother. There were other sordid details that I don’t recall but the parts about the outhouse and his mother were true.
gayamerican
no honey, that was a parody interview Hustler magazine did years ago. I think Falwell sued them over it
