Why Jo-Vanni Roman should talk to the Gals at Lezgetreal:- What did Reker really do?

Lucien, a Young male escort,  was photographed accompanying Family Research Council co founder George Alan Rekers to Europe.  Rekers admits to hiring the undergraduate-age, blond escort for a European trip but denies any sexual conduct with the young man.

Rekers asserts it was purely to carry his baggage, but may well have to admit that Lucien turned out to BE THE BAGGAGE! The race was on with the Gay men Bloggers to find Lucien and lo and behold when the Advocate made contact, beating Joe from JMG, the young man refused to spill the beans. So we here at LGR offer young Mr. Roman a venue to tell the truth and also a good reason why he should.

The Advocate Reports, “Lucien,” the young man at the center of an emerging scandal involving one of the most influential leaders of the “ex-gay” movement, is known on his Facebook and MySpace profiles as Jo-vanni Roman.”  The Miami New Times broke the story in a Tuesday article, referring to the escort using the pseudonym “Lucien.” The story was quickly followed in the LGBT media and mainstream outlets, including CBS News and The Washington Post.

Advocate adds: “Despite his statement, Rekers intimated in a Tuesday message via Facebook to Joe.My.God blogger Joe Jervis that he had hired the escort as part of his ongoing Christian ministry. Rekers said he shared “scientific information on the desirability of abandoning homosexual intercourse” with the young man whom he had hired.  “Like Jesus Christ, I deliberately spend time with sinners with the loving goal to try to help them,” Rekers wrote.

In the New Times article Roman did not disclose details of the trip but described Rekers as a man who “honestly cares about taking care of kids.”

So  Lucien / Roman – The quest for truth is still in the air… That said LUCIEN, we here at lezgetreal respect your privacy; however what this Rekers has done has in effect not helped nor looked after any kids. He is the reason kids commit  suicide far too often. If he has practiced homosexual acts with you or anyone then he needs to be exposed. Because he is going around and making his living teaching that sex acts between men is an abomination and that gay people can be cured. This statement is a BIG cause of teen suicide. So why should kids think they can be cured when the guy saying it can be done, is himself not cured?

He has NOT looked after any kids. You see, he advocates for laws that discriminate against MY kids and tens of thousands of other kids.   So I suggest if you really want to help kids, give me a call and we will find a way to tell your story – placed under category – Come to the Gay Gals Page… “TRUTH.”

Rekers is a cofounder of the Family Research Council, along with Focus on the Family founder James Dobson. He is a board member of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality, a group promoting “ex-gay” reparative therapy, which is widely condemned by health organizations, including the American Medical Association and the American Psychological Association. Rekers is also a member of the American College of Pediatricians, which had submitted a friend-of-the-court brief opposing marriage equality in the federal challenge to Proposition 8, Perry v. Schwarzenegger.

In 2008, Rekers served as a paid expert witness in a lawsuit in which he defended Florida’s ban on adoption by gay people. According to Equality Florida, Rekers and a colleague were paid $87,000 for their testimony.

UPDATE: Unzipped is talking to Roman at this time 8.30 pm 5/5/10 you can follow at their site-

“I had NO idea who [George Rekers] was. Not until we got back from the trip,” said the most famous escort in America today. The shaggy-haired, 20-year-old blond, who was recently identified by The Advocate as Jo-vanni Roman, called me moments ago to announce that he was ready to tell his side of the story.

Unzipped: How are you doing?
Roman: I wasn’t sure how to handle it all at first, but now I understand how big of a story this is, that this guy was an anti-gay activist. My friends have been telling me about him.

Did you know someone was taking your picture in the airport?
No. Well, kind of. I didn’t really know they were taking it of us.

Then this teaser ends and Unzipped says ciao for the night see you tomorrow??

SO while we hang in abeyance waiting for the BIG did he do it answer I studied the much later released expose photo by Miami Herald and what is the first thing I notice?

Mr. Reker is the one handling the baggage – his and the Young escort’s as well.  Not only is Mr. Roman, the escort far away from the bags that Rekers asserts the young escort was hired to handle, but Mr. Reker is bending over the bags as if to say – here I am and I can take it. ….. Food for thought .urgh did I just say food.
