From Towle Road:

AC360 snagged George Rekers rent boy Lucien for his first television interview, which aired on the program last night. While there was no mention of the "long stroke," the 20-year-old did reiterate that he gave Rekers sexual massages during their two week European trip. He also disclosed a signed contract between himself and Rekers which, according to the program, stated that Lucien "must the carry bags, provide a massage for at least one hour every day of the trip in their shared room. Plus, spend at least 8 hours day with him, including two meals." All that for $75 a day.

Dan Savage gives his take on this ongoing story which now sees Rekers threatening to sue.

Writes Andy at Towleroad:

I hope someone in South Florida is stepping up to give Lucien some good advice and offering him some support. The young man really sounds in need of guidance, though I do commend him for speaking out for what he believes and exposing this dangerous, anti-gay hypocrite.

Let's hope that someone steps up? No, let's demand that one of the big gay orgs—HRC, Lambda Legal, NCLR—steps up and provides Roman with the lawyer and the advisors he needs. Let's not treat this kid, who is just 20, like he's done something wrong, or like he's an embarrassment to the gay rights movement because—gasp—he was doing sex work, as has been reported, to pay his college tuition. This kind of hypocrisy—Haggard's kind, Craig's kind, Rekers' kind—needs to be exposed. And it's likelier to be exposed if the people who bring it to light aren't treated like pariahs and are instead offered real and tangible support.

Bringing something like this—this being the appalling, malicious hypocrisy of George Rekers—out into the open can't become a path to fame and/or fortune. It isn't and shouldn't be something that sets a person up for life, or something that an escort cashes in on as he leaves the rentboy business. Because that dynamic would undermine the credibility of anyone who does the right thing and steps forward when a powerful political or religious leader is saying one thing in public about homosexuality and doing quite another thing in private. But we can't leave people like Jones or Roman dangling, not if we want people like Jones and Roman to keep stepping forward.

And we do.

And Rachel lays into Rekers last night:

...simply be a pathetic, lonely old man. Conservatives constantly place themselves in awkward positions because they're such nasty hypocrites.

What a fucked up tormenting way to go through life hating people only because they honestly seek the same type of love that you yourself desire.

Based on:
$75/day divided by 8hrs/day is like $9 and change per hour.

(R)eker is either a cheap date or a minimum wage employer, or both.

All kinds of people, gay, straight, male, female, old, young are looking at him and lusting after him.

He's turning me into an old cougar, but I'm sure the rent has gone up too much for me to afford.

Maybe he'll be in a movie. Anyway, I wish him well. He seems like a very nice young man.

Christian Mullahs are homophobic, bigoted and cheap.

I think the rate was low because it was partly in exchange for Rekker's heterosexual reinforcement therapy.

One hour of homosexuality followed by 7 hours of heterosexuality. By the time Lucien returned, he should have been completely heterosexual, according to Rekker's calculations.

Praise the Lord!

What will the Lord do next to show his anger towards conservative haters and hypocrites? Send tornadoes through the south, a flood through Tennessee, an oil spill to the Gulf Coast states perhaps?.....wait, nevermind..

Rekers got paid (by current Florida Attorney General, Bill McCollum, also a Republican candidate for Florida governor) for his testimony re: gay adoption. Somewhere between $60,000 and $87,000, though some reports said it could be as high as $120,000.

Another reality, Rekers has an adopted son who is about the same age as the rentboy.

I'm pissed in terms of Rekers destroying other families due to his own self hate, not being honest, another Christian not out, not gay but is kind of hypocrite, etc. Also another example of a Republican wasting taxpayers monies to pursue a religious agenda. Shame on McCollum, shame on Rekers.

Rekers, together with James Dobson, founded the Family Research Council. Dobson advises men to take showers with their sons to prevent the boys from becoming gay. (Not sure how that works.)

Can't help but wonder if Rekers took Dobson's advice with his own adopted sixteen year old.

Christianity is predicated upon hatred and bigotry, and self-hatred first and foremost isn't something anybody should be surprised to see.

Religion is evil. Sane people accept the fact.

Actually the 75 bucks a day doesn't seem like that bad a deal. Remember it was Lucien that choose where they were going and when and Rekers that paid for the hotel and the airfare and whatever meals they shared together.
Furthermore, from what Lucien said about the trip most of the time Rekers spent pathetically in his hotel room (i think we can mentally add the word pathetically to just about everything Rekers does). So basically he got a free trip to anywhere he wanted in the world, free meals and 75 bucks a day too. And all he had to do basically was give him a massage once a day.

Of course it would be a LOT better deal if he could of brought someone besides Reckers to be with.

Edwin's picture

Would you want to massage his yoo-hoo for even triple that amount (or, at all)? Creepy.

Well, it's a lot less than what he usually does. I mean he didn't know who Rekers was at the time.

Let's not forget the cost of medication to narcotize the brain so that the right half won't try to destroy the left half after being around this sorry asshole for more than 5 minutes. Spend a whole DAY within 30 feet of this phony straight out of a Simpson's episode? What did they do, sit in the room and watch old episodes of Tom and Jerry?

Another one of these fine upstanding Christian leaders ... busted . I don't as a habit knock Christians or Christianity but there isn't much doubt that most of all these big time preachers , evangelists and " leaders " are shysters , charlatans and frauds who give the honest and sincere ones a bad name . It's too bad people are so blind as to follow these con artists , millionaires and even billionaires by taking advantage of naive simple people , the same people who are conned by , listen to and support the Repugs and listen to Fox etc. .Hopefully these sewer rats will pay dearly one day ... who knows .


Insanity , it is what it is , there is no understanding it .

Yeah, what a filthy whore. I'm talking about Rekers of course. The escort seems like a really decent nice young man. But.... maybe just a little dumb. Sweet. But dumb.

but, hey, someone's gotta do it, when you say this:

"Let's not treat this kid, who is just 20, like he's done something wrong, or like he's an embarrassment to the gay rights movement because—gasp—he was doing sex work, as has been reported, to pay his college tuition."

I mean geez, I kinda wish I heard more of that kind of support for every woman sex worker who is caught with some hypocritical, using asshole in politics, instead of how she was just a ho' anyway and prolly has an agenda and all that.

Sex workers all are exploited and the people that exploit them should be blamed for not only perpetuating the practice, but also a social system that causes it to exist.

"Sex workers all are exploited and the people that exploit them should be blamed for not only perpetuating the practice, but also a social system that causes it to exist."

And I would add the "sex" industry can often be a form of slavery.

I really wish we were more like some European countries. At least some look out for the sex workers but of course that would be socialism.

To be fair, in the case of Diaper Vitter and Charlie Sheen we never discovered the identity of the hookers. There was the hollywood madam of quite a few years ago, but i don't think there was all that much vitriol directed against her.

Wasn't much vitriol? She hung herself because of the fallout.

I guess you didn't hear the end to that story.

Only in America can a person be paid to what amounts to the victimization and demonization of a social group of people while they are being exploited at the same time. I say exploited because who would message someone like Rekers...gay or straight...for nine dollars and change per hour???

Couples of two women or two men have been raising children since humans started having offspring. There is no reason to exclude such families from the term "traditional family unit".

This fraudcast imbecilic journalist just gave the right wing christians an upper hand in the brainwashing battle. There is nothing traditional about a nuclear family arrangement.

Phoenix Justice's picture

The HRC, Lamda Legal and all of the other "gay rights" organizations don't want to touch this with a 12 inch pole. They want to project to straight America that we gays don't engage in what straight America does. They want to project that we don't produce gay porn, have gay prostitutes, etc. They are the ones who enjoy a good drag show, but don't want anyone to know that they enjoy a good drag show.

As I have said before: I don't give a shit if someone hires a prostitute, gay or straight, they just need to be honest about it. Legalize, regulate and tax. We Americans, gay and straight, have too many sexual hangups. Its time we enjoyed sex.

How sweet of Cooper to give the Family Research Council the last sanctimonious word on the subject. Those fine, upstanding (hypocritical, bigoted, holier than thou) Xtians lied through their teeth about their knowledge of the Reeker. The Reeker was on the FRC website right up until the current expose as one of their glorious founders, and they expunged his name when he became embroiled in this scandal. Cooper, as always, lets the liars off the hook without doing any research or followup on their mendacity. This is exactly why you can't hope to find news in the MSM.

That "Well, yeah" at 0:53. Priceless.

Big Daddy the Reeker evidently adopted a 17 year old boy into his family. I think that his little massage-ridden vacation exploits finally and definitively demonstrate that Baptist preachers should be denied by the state the right to serve as foster and adoptive parents because of their moral lassitude. For shame!

let's not confuse his pathetic behavior with unrelated matters. As far as I have heard there is no definitive scientific proof of homosexuality, the same way there isn't any definitive proof of non-homosexuality.

That's probably because these behaviors are a bit more complex than that, and have societal (external) factors as well. That is not to say that there is not a genetic basis for them (then again, there's a genetic basis for ALL behaviors) but that's not saying that the manifestation of a particular behavior is entirely the results of genetics.

Just as people like Mr. Rekers' (and people like him) hypocrisy is wrong, so it that of pro-gay groups who essentially do the same thing (reduce the complexity of human behavior into little more than a sound-bite).

It would be really good if people would just let people be who they believe they are, instead of pigeon-holing them in a particular niche.

The whole story is an indictment of our pathetic society.. Reker's cruel, oppressive hypocracy and Julian's superficial, self-demeaning hypocracy too.. OUR society, I can look up and see the new KIN windows phone- I can find friends with that phone, be part of a community, have social interaction, ignore marginalized people who are all around me distracted by their phones.. I can pretend I'm virtually sincere and that my choices have real meaning and are not destructive to others who actually suffer from hunger and thirst and lack of shelter
