On the Issue of Bruce Harris:

I applaud Casa Alianza for both  their public exposition  (partially) of  the  sexual predatory nature of  a former  zealot ,  employee  Bruce Harris. I also applaud Casa Alianza for consequently   dismissing the services of Bruce Harris.  It appears that Bruce Harris – the virtuous white knight against the exploitation of children was caught with his pants down (colloquialism) with a same gender prostitute in Honduras. 

Mr. Harris a controversial figure who in my opinion has done as much damage as he did good in his relentless pursuit for those institutions and individuals who  exploited children.

The fact that Bruce Harris was such a self righteous high minded arrogant asshole as well as a rumored hedonistic homosexual further exacerbates the deviancy in his participation in the filthy disgusting underworld of bottom feeding ‘johns’ who pay young men for various forms of sexual favor .

What has not yet been uncovered is the extent of the partially digested contents of Mr. Harris’s sexual proclivity’s. 

Frankly, those who pay for sex normally do so as a part their lifestyle and few have not either deliberately or accidentally engaged a minor in sexual activity.

What do we really know about the dark side of Bruce Harris.? We hit an iceberg but still only see the tip.   We know that he supports the institution of ‘legal’ prostitution which is a statutory variable country by country. Many moral esthetics consider the institution of legalized prostitution nothing more than legalized institutional exploitation of the poor.

I wouldn’t think that such a highly driven virtuous man like Bruce Harris - a crusader adorned in a white robe that made his living in a zealous frenzy as this madman in hot pursuit   of those who would exploit children would involve himself in human exploitation in any form.  For many uneducated poor, prostitution is not a career choice but an act of basic survival. Prostitution buys them food, shelter and for many, drug’s.  Support a prostitute in many cases and support the drug trade.

Many prostitutes began their careers as abused minors- the same folks that Mr. Harris was purportedly protecting. .   Is this what attracted Bruce Harris to Costa Rica in the first place- its sexually liberal lifestyle sporting a very healthy population of prostitutes of every variety and flavor? 

Could Mr. Harris been operating as a crusader out of the guilt he felt for the human exploitation of prostitutes.  I for one would like to know more about the dark side of Bruce Harris because I believe that this incident with a male prostitute was not an isolated incident and that perhaps his employer learned of other sexual engagements between Bruce Harris and those who have not yet reached the age of legal consent.

Bottom line, Casa Alianza considered Bruce Harris’s sexual behavior unacceptable and therefore terminated his further employment...  I applaud this brave and just decision on the part of Casa Alianza and for making public the questionable sexual behavior of Mr. Bruce Harris.  

Casa Alianza did not need a man who could be considered by many to be a part of a greater social problem not a part of the greater social solution.  Bruce Harris reminds me of an individual who goes to a park and picks up 1 lb of litter and then on the way of the park   buys an ice cream bar and drops the wrapper on the ground.

The jury is not out on this zealot.  

I am certain if he tries to reinvent himself adorning his white cape, there will be those who will further uncover the private life .of Mr. Bruce Harris.

Mr. Harris, perhaps you can reinvent yourself in Thailand or the Philippines.

I would recommend that Casa Alianza more carefully screen those to whom they offer employment as Casa Alianza’s reputation can affect future financial donations.

Sincerely,
Dr. Roberto Carlos Gayton
