George ‘Rentboy’ Rekers Resigns from ‘Ex-Gay’ Group NARTH

George "rentboy" Rekers has resigned from the Board of the "ex-gay" group National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH).

Via Talking Points Memo:

"NARTH vice president of operations David Pruden tells TPMmuckraker that Rekers first offered his resignation last Thursday, and officially resigned today.

NARTH is a group that promotes the idea that homosexuality can, and should, be cured.

Pruden also denied a report in the Miami New Times that NARTH had been involved in helping Rekers respond to the media.

'NARTH has never had any role in advising Dr. Rekers except to suggest that if he is innocent he needs to get a good lawyer,' Pruden said in an email. 'He has friends who are members of NARTH and they are free to talk with, advise, and needless to say, they are free to help him in any way they might select.' …  'NARTH as an organization has taken no official role in this other than asking him to explain to us what has happened and in accepting his resignation,' he said."
