Video: Rentboy dance party!
I’m sure this won’t surprise you, but George Rekers, the anti-gay advocate caught with a male “escort” is indeed gay – at least according to the escort, says the Miami New-Times.
“It’s a situation where he’s going against homosexuality when he is a homosexual,” Jo-vanni Roman, known as Lucien, told the New-Times. “In all honestly [sic], he should disassociate himself from these [antigay] groups.”
Roman said that he was hired to give Rekers daily rub downs in the nude.
Why is all of this important? Because Rekers – Baptist minister, psychology professor, has a “long, long record” of anti-gay work, doing research on why gays shouldn’t be able to adopt or marry (Washington Post [1] for the PDF).
Stephen Colbert had a great bit about all of this – see below for his in-studio, rentboy dance party:

Thursday’s Watercooler: Oprah goes primetime and Lady Gaga stands up for gay teens
Today, gay kids continue to make waves across the country. I’m hoping it’s a trend, that Constance has inspired a national uprising amongst gay teens. It’s about time someone challenged the strangle hold administrators have over high school students. In today’s story [1], a Nashville teen, Cole Goforth, wore a “Lady Gay Gay” t-shirt and was told to go home and change because the shirt caused “disruptions” at school. Cole refused and Lady Gaga tweeted her support for his assertion of first amendment rights. It’s a good legal fight and I hope Cole takes it all the way. And props to Gaga for lending her support!

In other serious but less sexy news, Obama and Medvedev (Russian President) have signed [3] a small, but significant nuclear disarmament treaty. It’s not going to eliminate the incredibly large nuclear program in the U.S. or that of Russia, but even some sort of deal is progress. Nuclear disarmament has been getting knocked around recently (think North Korea) and it’s heartening to see any movement towards the reduction of these weapons in the world.

While Obama works on serious issues regarding nuclear war, the Republican party falters in a sex scandal. I know it’s not new news today, but this interview between Jon Stewart and disgraced “Steele” is too hilarious. Lesbian bondage…. who knew you would see the Republicans get into that?

While I am more likely to watch Stewart than Oprah, I do catch her at the gym every once in a while and I am excited that her new show will happen [11]at a more reasonable hour. And it will include international travel and celebrities! What more could we ask for? This is definitely better than the episode I saw an ad for about straight couples who no longer have sex. I would much rather watch Oprah and Brad Pitt go to Egypt. Wouldn’t you?

In a final piece of shocking news, a Wisconsin district attorney is arguing [13]that sex ed teachers who teach teenagers about condom use and contraception when they know or ought to know those teenagers are having sex with other underage individuals could be criminally charged. It’s a complete perversion of the law and a scare tactic obviously aimed at removing proper sex ed from classrooms. What is most troubling is that this DA is in a position of power when it comes to criminal sanctions in the state and he is so obviously highly conservative. Should we really have ideologues like this in offices that hold power over the population’s very basic freedoms?

Margaret Cho geared up for ‘Dead’
Comedienne Margaret Cho knows a great deal about Hollywood’s obsession with body image.
The once-zaftig actress is co-starring in a new series for Lifetime titled “Drop Dead Diva” about a brilliant plus-size attorney who finds her body inhabited by the soul of a shallow wannabe model.
The Sony Pictures Television-produced show debuts July 12 and stars Broadway actress Brooke Elliott as lawyer Jane Bingum.
Cho plays Bingum’s gal Friday, Terri, and it’s a more serious role than fans might expect of Cho, known for her irreverent, and often political, humor.
