Exposed: Christian leader caught with male escort says he needed help with his luggage

A Christian leader and prominent neuro-psychiatrist who co-founded the Family Research Council with evangelist James Dobson took a ten-day European vacation with a callboy he met through RentBoy.com and was caught in an airport with the escort by a Miami newspaper.

The escort said he had met George Rekers, professor of Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Science at the University of South Carolina, on RentBoy.com. Rekers, when confronted, didn't deny that he'd met the callboy online, but said he had hired him to help him carry his baggage and didn't learn he was generally hired for "private company" until mid-way through his European vacation.

"I had surgery," Rekers told Miami's New Times, "and I can't lift luggage. That's why I hired him." (The paper noted that it didn't stop him from pushing a "tottering" pile of luggage through Miami International Airport.)

The callboy, identified by a pseudonym, told the New Times' Penn Bullock and Brandon Thorp that Rekers claim that he didn't know his "line of work" seemed spurious. .........(more)

1. Just a guess, but I bet the hourly fee for luggage-carrying is

extraordinarily high through that particular website.

[ecstatic]

2. Is luggage a creative new way of saying dick?

:shrug:

[MurrayDelph]

25. I think what he meant was

Rentboy wasn't carrying his bags, he was just hoisting his sac.

4. "Carry luggage"...is that what you kids are calling it these days?

Sounds a bit classier than "Paying to Fuck Young Fellers",
I'll give ya that.

[Jade Fox]

10. your subject line: LOL!

[TheOther95Percent]

13. LOL! If I could recommend a reply, I would.

You made me spit iced tea on my monitor.

[HillWilliam]

18. BWAH!

You sound like something on "Shit My Dad Says" :rofl:

[riderinthestorm]

22. Bwahahaha!! DUzy! I really needed this laugh tonight. Perfect. nt

[Raine]

5. Yeah sure

whatever you say ... I believe. :rofl: :eyes: I'm sure that's enough to bullshit his fans though. :argh:

[alfredo]

6. More family values on display

[saltpoint]

7. Is having one's luggage carried roughly the same as having one's ashes hauled?

[Botany]

8. It never fails that the more somebody complains about "the gays" ....

... the more likely it is that they are closet cases themselves.

[Initech]

9. To quote the movie Super Troopers:

"Oh I'll believe that when me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbert."

Yeah right... you know he wasn't using the "rent boy" to "carry luggage". :eyes:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Kinda like Larry Craig's "wide stance" in the loo...

Suuuuure. That's all it was. Just a guy you hired to carry your luggage. Just like Larry always assumed a wide stance when he sat on the pot. Yup. That's all.

:rofl:

[JohnnyLib2]

12. He shows up all over the place:

Scary man.

[RufusTFirefly]

14. Sad, really

In a more just world, this guy would be a perfectly well-adjusted gay man and no one would care either way. Instead, he's a right-wing, self-loathing, Bible-banging creep.

I feel sorry for him. The layers of lie this man must live under would suffocate almost anyone.

[HillWilliam]

19. Did you see his FB profile?

Among his listed interests were giving loving ministry to homosexuals (QED) and (I shit you not) playing the pipe organ.

Wingnut comedy writes itself.

[comrade snarky]

21. Oh.. oh god...

That is beautiful!

I may weep.

[HillWilliam]

27. Sometimes the universe just hands it to you

on toast points nestled on fiestaware. :rofl:

[Roon]

15. BULLSHIT! He hired some arm candy..

and probably more....

[Blue-Jay]

16. He just needed someone with proven bag-handling skills.

[msanthrope]

20. Is he carrying that luggage down the Appalachian Trail? n/t

[dorkulon]

23. Gee, James Dobson gay? You must be kidding me!

:sarcasm:

I can't believe it took this long to catch him.

[izquierdista]

24. You may be barking up the wrong tree here.....

Maybe the "bag" is Mrs. Rekers and luggage isn't the only thing that George can't lift.

[DesertRat]

26. k&r

[RedCappedBandit]

28. C'mon you guys I believe him.
