And apparently the young man is in way over his head and being threatened.
I agree with Dan Savage that Mike Jones, the hustler who brought down Ted Haggart, was treated very shabbily after doing the LGBT community a huge service bringing down a particularly bad monster.
Perhaps this time around, we'll do a better job of rallying around Gay America's fighting rent-boys when they take another ogre by the balls and throw him to the floor.
UPDATE:
Apparently, people are stepping up. National gay organizations are starting to circle the wagons around the kid just in case Reekers (not a typo), or the far right mafia, try to legally break his knees or take him out.
I think this is a potentially much bigger fish than Ted Haggart. It now casts further doubt on the already dubious credibility of all other "cure-the-gay" experts. I hope this case proves to be fatal for the courtroom credibility of all such "experts" from now on.
Good for Jo-vanni for reeling that mutha in, even if he did use himself for bait.
I agree fully. This guy, Jo-vanni seems very straight forward...a personal character quality that his former employer (ugly as a train wreck both inside and out) can´t touch...something about meeting people exactly where they are can´t really happen for those who are filled with self-loathing, fear and deceit.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've been reading about that little holiday in Spain, that kid earned that money. If anything, I think he undercharged for his services.
ReplyDeleteI agree. This kid must be protected! And he has done a great service by/in his economic and social misery.
