George Rekers's ex-gay/anti-gay legacy in danger? and other Wednesday midday news briefs

Major Ex-Gay Web Sites Silently Reconsider Reliance on Rekers - Why oh why aren't we surprised?

Burlco school board bans book on homosexuality - And parents ARE NOT happy about that, which is a good thing.

Q. Why don't anti-LGBT websites typically allow comments? - Because they generally get their asses handed to them if they did, like in this case.

Porter Responds to Being Dropped By VCY - After being publicly spanked by her (former)radio station, anti-gay Janet Folger responds in surprisingly kind tones. It makes you wonder if her "mad zealot" pose is just an act. Naaaah.

Is the Family Research Council playing quiet damage control over George Rekers incident?

From blogger Joe Jervis (Joe.My.God) comes this interesting tidbit:

On his personal website, homo-hooker loving Dr. George Rekers links to the Family Research Council's "about" page to note his having been one of their co-founders. Whoops, he's already been erased from the FRC's site, not even 12 hours after the news broke that Dr. James Dobson's one-time buddy has been having his sack lifted by a barely legal Latino twink. Tony Perkins works fast! Does that sting just a little bit, Doctor? Man overboard!

If this is the case, then it is obvious that the Family Research Council is playing a game of quiet damage control regarding the recent incident of Rekers found traveling with a male escort. However, if one would assess the history of the FRC when it comes to deleting things from its page, Rekers has nothing to worry about.

Last year, the Family Research Council removed several studies from its web site about homosexuality. A representative claimed that the studies were removed because they were "outdated." However, the information contained in these so-called "outdated" studies was found to be recycled in new studies on the web site.

Therefore, I'm sure that if FRC is eliminating all traces of Rekers to cover itself, when and if this incident ever blows over, his name will pop back up on the web site.
