For years, George A. Rekers has held himself out as an expert witness in court on homosexuality, arguing in cases concerning same-sex marriage and gay adoption that gay men and lesbians lead parlous lives and raise troubled children.
Now Dr. Rekers himself is under fire, raising new legal questions about his courtroom role.

The sequel to this one is going to be what they can go ahead and get the Florida AG on. Oh yes, telling his own state court that he prefers non-credible witnesses over credible ones!! The fact that earlier courts had already found out that Rekers was a pompous ass didn't even give him a clue?? Oh well, I live in California, and at least here, its financial dementia instead of theodementia.
