Why the Federal Government Raided Rentboy

Probably the most articulate and well-considered opinion on why on earth Homeland Security should stage such a dramatic raid on the offices of Rentboy.com in the full glare of the media and then arrest the C.E.O. and seven of the employees,  comes from Jake Jaxson the driving force behind Cockyboys.com a leading gay porn website.  Writing in The Huffington Post, Jaxson claims
‘My belief, sadly, is that they were targeted and brought down because of PRIDE. They showed too much pride to be ignored, pride in creating a network of individuals wanting and needing to connect and explore their sexuality beyond the parameters set out, dictated, and prescribed to us by the moralizers for profit, the “glass housers” and the “do as I say, not as I do” crowd.

And in the spirt of that pride, today I am releasing part of a film that we had been working on months before the raid of RentBoy. To be honest, before today I was really struggling with how to put it on our site. In all honesty, and I’m ashamed to say, it was because it was not sexy. Our site is designed as a form of sexual entertainment and fantasy escape — and every time I watched this film, a heartbreaking reality hit me and I struggled with how best to present it because the two men in this film were so unashamed, loving, and proud. I worried that I could not do them justice. But today that has all changed. 
Here is Jaxson’s film that puts a human face on one of the men who advertised on RentBoy, Rob Yaeger.
