Courtesy of 240:

Bob Paris:

 

Bob Paris’s father was a physically abusive alcoholic who preyed on people who were weaker, women and children.

 

Bob discovered weight lifting at the end of his sophomore year in high school. He was attracted to the discipline required in the field, in order to maintain a healthy physique.

 

Bob relocated to Los Angeles, he knew the bodybuilding scene was in Venice and Santa Monica; he also wanted to be an actor.

 

His sexual experience was limited but from one experience with a woman in high school, he knew heterosexual sex didn’t feel natural to him.

 

Bob began competing in and winning bodybuilding competitions. The fact that he was gay was no secret in bodybuilding circles.

 

He was gorgeous, with an awesome physique and handsome face that he was being billed as “The Tyrone Power With Muscles.” Tyrone Power is probably the most handsome actor in film history.

 

Organizers suggested, he be paired with a woman during charity events and parties.

 

Bob decided to tell his parents he was gay, his mother went into a deep depression. His dad remained silent. When he did comment on Bob’s sexuality, he made the following comment, “I understand what you’re going through being gay because I’ve been an alcoholic; I know what it’s like to have a sickness.” The statement sent Bob over the top and he and his father got into a big argument. Eventually, both parents would come around.


Rod Jackson-Paris:

 

Rod also came from an abusive household, At 19; while attending college and modeling part-time, he was still conflicted about his sexuality and started dating Debbie. When they started making out, Rod stopped because he became too nervous. Despite buying gay porn magazines on the sly, Rod would eventually consummate his relationship with Debbie; he was on cloud nine and thought he ‘was cured.’ The feeling didn’t last long and Rod moved back on campus. He would have two kissing encounters with two straight men.

 

Rod’s real coming out, came at a gay club in Denver. Around this time, the Wilhemina modeling agency in New York offered him a modeling contract. Rod was scared of going to New York and competing with other models so he declined.

 

Rod started working as a manager at a gym. Mr. Universe, Bob Paris was in town to do a bodybuilding seminar. When Rod spotted Paris, his heart skipped a beat as they locked eyes. After the seminar, Bob flew back to Los Angeles. A few months later, Rod relocated to Hollywood to pursue modeling. Rod ran into Bob, they conversed, agreed to have dinner and went on a few dates. They would eventually fall in love and move in together.

 

Together:

 

Rod was making money modeling in Los Angeles. He took some test shots for Playgirl magazine. The response was overwhelming; Rod got calls from men and women.

 

Meanwhile, Bob met with an agent to try and pursue a career in film as an action hero. Before the meeting was over, the agent asked Bob if he knew of any leading men types with blonde hair. Bob referred Rod. It didn’t occur to Bob that the agent was using him to get to Rod.

 

When Rod met with the agent, he didn’t waste any time telling Rod, I’ll put you up in a guesthouse, give you a Mercedes and I’ll groom you for leading men roles. All you have to do is dump Bob; Rod declined and left the restaurant.

 

Bob and Rod’s love was so intense; they wanted to share their love with the world. They decided to marry; this was unheard of in the late 80’s. But they found the courage to marry, exchanging vows in a Unitarian service in 1989. Many family members declined to attend after receiving invitations. One uncle wrote a letter to Bob, saying, “We love you but we hate your sin.”

 

Their wedding made headlines all over the world.

 

After the wedding the press hounded them and the phone wouldn’t stop ringing. The couple appeared on Oprah, Phil Donahue and Joan Rivers. The tabloids also ran the story and the couple appeared on the cover of the ‘Advocate.’

 

When they traveled to Europe, in one city, a couple of people jeered them, calling them fags. A London tabloid implied that Rod married Bob for his money and that Rod was ‘a broke blushing bloke.’

 

In Bodybuilding competitions, despite being in the best shape of his life, Bob placed last and audience members jeered him, calling him ‘pretty girl’ and ‘homo.’ He was blacklisted when he left the sport.

 

The marriage hurt both of their careers. Although they managed to purchase a home, they were broke, seminars and endorsement deals evaporated.

 

Both men would eventually author a string of books on their life and gay activism. They also made videotapes for gay teens, dealing with teen suicide and homophobia and they opened up a foundation for gay youth.

 

Divorce:


On July 18th, 1996, in a statement faxed to news agencies, Bob Paris and Rod Jackson-Paris said: “Rumors have been circulating in the gay community regarding the status of our relationship, and while neither of us is comfortable discussing the very private aspects of our lives. For the record, we have been broken up for the last year and were separated for a year before that. The past two years have been an extraordinarily difficult time for both of us as we have faced the dissolution of our marriage. The details and reasons for our separation are complicated, painful and personal. We both remain committed to the concept of equal marriage rights and we both believe in the magic of love.”
