...........................

Officials of the National Association for Therapy and Research of Homosexuality (NARTH) allegedly had a hand in crafting a questionnaire George Alan Rekers emailed to Jo-vanni Roman, the gay escort who accompanied him on a two-week trip to Europe.

The email asks Roman, who has been identified in New Times stories as "Lucien," to corroborate that he handled luggage and learned about Christian love during their two-week vacation.

"Apparently the people who are associated with NARTH, they asked for him to send me an email of things we should write out," Lucien told us. "And I didn't agree upon it because I didn't feel comfortable with the whole situation."

After the interview concluded, Lucien suddenly called Rekers over speakerphone. New Times reporters jotted down notes. Lucien asked Rekers repeatedly if anyone else had been involved in the questionnaire. "Yeah, one of the guys who's on the board of a professional organization with me," Rekers said.

1. NARTH is the creationist wing of the anti-gay crowd.

They never met a scientific principle they couldn't pervert.

2. Sickos!

Too bad these weirdos don't focus their time and energy on things that REALLY matter in this world.

Odd how there are so many of these "holy" religious types that just cannot get their
minds out of everyone else's bedrooms.

These are dirty people.

9. I think it's their own pants they can't find their way out of.

4. "...learned about Christian love..."--are they for real?

6. And, by "Christian love," they mean hatred of homosexuals.

7. Does that include

lifting of the baggage or no lifting of the baggage??

:evilgrin:

[CLANG]

10. I hear if you lift it over and over repeatedly for several minutes

the baggage will explode in a sea of white linens.

12. SORRY THE CORRECT TERM FOR THAT IS ------ TEA-BAGGAGING

13. if executed INCORRECTLY, could result in TEA-BA-GAGGING

5. how is it that a group like this has nonprofit status?

If NARTH helped craft the email to Lucien and counseled Rekers on how to kill the rentboy story, the organization's idea of a "thorough investigation" may be a whitewash.

yeah, duh.

14. great question n/t

[No Elephants]

8. We insist on a thorough investigation, so Lucien can make the statements we wrote for him.

Well, at least Haggard's cured.

15. It's probably set up like a 12 step program

He's likely got a "sponsor" who he calls when he feels like he is going "off the wagon". And that same sponsor helps clean up the messes (at least figuratively) when such an off the wagon falling does occur. Just like his own little team of state troopers.

16. Was there a happy ending with that Christian love?

No, I believe Jo-vanni - there was not. But this is so ridiculous.
