Gay Man: Church School Teacher Raped Him Daily To 'Make Him Hate Men'

Sure, because that makes sense! GULFPORT, Miss. — A gay Mississippi man says a male teacher at the Baptist school he attended in the 1990s raped him each week for three years as a way to force him to change his sexual orientation. Jeff White told the Washington Blade during a July 14 interview at a restaurant near his home on the Mississippi Gulf Coast the teacher at Bethel Baptist School in Walls, Miss., who he identified as Steven Barnes, scheduled an “appointment” with him each Wednesday in his classroom or the office where he forced him to have oral and anal sex. White, now 32, said the incidents took place at the school, which is in DeSoto County in northwestern Mississippi, between 1996-1999. An embargoed press release the Blade obtained from the National Center for Lesbian Rights identifies Barnes, who is currently an associate pastor at Bethel Baptist Church, which operates Bethel Baptist School, as the teacher who allegedly raped White. “He would rape me because I was gay and because it would make me hate men and make me change,” said White. White told the Blade that his parents decided to send him to the school after he came out to them when he was 14 and in the seventh grade. “They [the church’s pastors] looked at Southern Baptists like they were liberal faggots, like they would say from the pulpit,” he said.read more
