News and commentary about the anti-gay lobbyMay 7th, 2010
There are bound to be others, aren’t there. Another former escort and self-described former porn star now says that he was hired by George Rekers to provide full body massage with “light sexual contact.” He said this happened “when I was in my 20’s” — he’s 41 now. He also claims that he’s a close, personal friend of Ted Haggard and believes that Haggard “is a faithful husband to his wife,” and that very much unlike Rekers, Haggard “is a dedicated Christian, and he is no enemy of gays.”
Jo-vanni had the fortune (or misfortune) of having been photographed with Rekers in the Miami airport, which makes his connection to Rekers indisputable. Proving “Chaz’s” connection to Rekers might be extremely difficult, and I don’t know how he will be able to make the connection stick. But whether this particular allegation is true or not, I do believe we can be certain that there are more Jo-vanni’s out there just waiting to come forward. Some, under all kinds of motivations. Caveat emptor.

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

Rekers has a ‘mark’ on his body that both men can describe to verify all.

Two little foster boy’s adoptions are in the appeal process because of Florida’s Attorney General, Bill McCollum. These boys have been with their adoptive parents since 2004, one was an infant when placed. Florida has already made it clear they plan on REMOVING both boys and finding them new homes if their ban is upheld in the Court of Appeals!
Florida begged Gil & his partner to initially take these children despite them being in the process of moving to Georgia-promising it would only be short term. When the Social Workers never moved the kids and couldn’t find them another home-Gil and his partner actually sold their home in Georgia and stayed in Florida simply so that the boys wouldn’t have to be moved or separated into two foster homes. That was their level of commitment to those kids.
The boys are doing fantastic with them and are obviously bonded at this point. So naturally those children want a permanent home. Mental Health therapists have already testified that it would be devastating to the boys to move them at this point. But Florida’s AG chose to ignore those facts and dug up Reker as a way to deny the adoption.
Here’s a brief story on them

And here’s the latest update on the boys:

Isn’t is amazing that in Florida a gay couple is good enough to be licensed as foster parents but not a permanent home! And Florida’s Attorney General was willing to stack the deck and spend $120,000 on a fake expert (that was discredited in an Arkansas Court 3 yrs earlier) who has since been revealed as man who hires male prostitutes.
Of course, that same Attorney General is now running for Governor-so I guess him making children pawns in some political game is what appeals to him conservative base in Florida.
