Pastor George Rekers and the Rentboy (he knows he wants to…)

Anti-gay activist says he is victim of ‘misleading innuendo’ over holiday snap with male escort By Guy Adams in Los Angeles Friday, 7 May 2010

The rent boy ‘Lucien’ who was taken on holiday by George Rekers enlarge sponsored links: ) I did not have sex with that rent boy; God’s honest truth. That’s the line being heroically maintained by George Rekers, the Baptist minister and vocal critic of gay rights, who was photographed returning from a 10-day European vacation with a male prostitute. It’s his story, and he’s sticking to it. In an exclusive interview with The Independent, Dr Rekers, 61, who has three children and believes that homosexuality is a “disease” which can be cured, has explained the misunderstanding which saw him accidentally hire a blond Puerto Rican sex worker to help carry his bags during a trip to London and Madrid last month. The prominent evangelical conservative, who co-founded the influential right-wing Family Research Council, became an international punch-line earlier this week when it emerged that his travelling companion was a 20-year-old escort who works under the aliases “Lucien” and “Geo” and advertises at www.rentboy.com.
