It's almost not even amusing anymore.

Quote:

A Baptist minister who campaigned against gay rights, only to be snared in a scandal after taking a trip through Europe with a gay hooker, has resigned from a group dedicated to helping those "who struggle with unwanted homosexuality."

George Rekers announced his resignation with a statement posted to the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality's Web site.

He found the lad through Rentboy.com and had NO IDEA that it's a site for gay men to hook up with, well, hookers. He just needed help with his, uh, bag.

I saw that the other day. I was gonna post it cause I though he was one of those dudes that was in Uganda getting them to kill poofs, but was mistaken.

He's just another hypocrite.

The funny thing is, however, that he's a hypocrite who was paid to testify under oath by & for for the state of FL trying to get their ban on gay adoptions upheld & is going with the story that he spread the word of Christ to his Rentboy, who carried his luggage & nothing more.

Contacted by the newspaper, Rekers claimed he was ignorant of his traveling companion's profession when he hired him for a 10-day European vacation.

"I had surgery," Rekers told the newspaper, "and I can't lift luggage. That's why I hired him."

Yeeaah. Going to the site, there's no way you will mistake what the service is for, if that's really where he hired him.

That's almost as stupid as that black council member in Dallas who insisted that using the term "black hole" in reference to a project that was turning into a money pit was somehow a racist comment.

This article reminded me of an opinion article from CNN on the same topic; basically saying that while it's "almost not even amusing anymore," the actual reaction should be outrage. The article itself talks about it through a black lens, which I found interesting.
