The attorney general of Florida paid Mr. Rekers 87K to testify against gay adoption.

And this statement is worth thinking about.

I can’t imagine what it must be like to share a room – naked – with an attractive young man I’ve paid a lot of money to, and not have sex with him. Whether that’s hell or not, it’s certainly got all the earmarks of earthly torture.

And that’s really the point. This is the torture closeted lesbians and gay men were forced to negotiate in the days when any disclosure of their sexual orientation could land them in jail, or worse. Even the most private moments could result in exposure, prosecution or blackmail, and the fear of going too far distorted the most intimate relationships. That was daily life for a person of homosexual orientation.

And this is the way the anti-gay side continues to believe the world ought to be. Rekers is, in fact, living in that world, the one so many of the rest of us have left behind as we’ve claimed our self-respect. His world – his hell – is now inhabited only by those who want it, or believe it is their fate.
