Amazing Race's Reichen Rejected
by Ileane Rudolph

Reichen's scandalous poster

Think fast: Which reality-TV star's sexy poster was rejected by a self-described "right-wing conservative, God-fearing Christian" printer?

That'd be Reichen Lehmkuhl Burke, who won The Amazing Race 4 with his ex-boyfriend, Chip Arndt. After signing a contract, Reichen alleges that Mark Jones of Vacaville, Calif. who did not object to the poster photo itself visited his website, where he learned that Reichen is gay. (We guess the guy doesn't watch much TV.) He says that's when Jones opted not to honor their agreement.

On March 16, Reichen tells TVGuide.com, he and his attorney will hold a press conference in West Hollywood, Calif., to make an announcement. No, he's not planning to sue Jones, he says, but he does aim to bring public attention to the injustice of his situation.

Meanwhile, life goes on for the 31-year-old aspiring actor, who recently drank worm juice on Reality Stars Fear Factor and supplements his income by selling real estate in L.A. As a former Air Force captain (who remains on the Reserves roster despite publicly coming out), he's currently writing Here's What We'll Say, a book detailing his closeted life at the Air Force Academy. Reichen says he's currently single, having just come out of "a relationship that ended sadly."

As for his Race teammate and ex-beau, Arndt, they "came home from the race on Valentine's Day [2003, and] officially moved away from each other on April 1." However, they remain good friends. "We actually got along better on the race than we were getting along at home," Reichen says. "We weren't working against each other, we were working for each other."

Inspired by letters he's received from Race fans around the world, the Miami-based Arndt is creating a nonprofit website "meant to be a global resource for gay, lesbian, bi and transgendered world youth." He's even got openly gay athletes like Billy Bean and Gigi Fernandez involved.

On the personal front, Arndt is keeping mum on his romantic life these days. Regarding Reichen, though, he says, "The race made our true friendship stronger. I think we'll always be there for each other. We'd actually consider doing Amazing Race together again, if asked."

*******************
FYI, Reichen's ex-boyfriend is Charlie, the one he recently broke off.

Well I saw an article on this on TARflies and it really made me mad. That guy like hates Reichen just because he's gay it seems. I wonder what Mum thinks of all this.... Lips Sealed

But hey if they ever do All Stars I hope Reichen and Chip come back!! Cheesy

They will always be one of my favorite teams, and I think it's nice that they are still friends.

even though i think reichen and chip are great people and honest people, i think that they said that they are friends because of the publicity issue. as i said reichen and chip seem like awesome people. maybe mum can give us more info?

Reichen and Chip are really friends, and will be there for each other for the rest of their lives. It is not for publicity either. Mr. Mum and I are friends with Chip also, and we talk to him oftn. Mr. Mum stayed with Chip a couple of weeks ago, and played golf and he had such a good time.
When they were together they were a great couple. And they got along great for those first few years.
When they parted Reichen called and was in tears, as they both were. And they tried to work it out many times from the time the race was broadcast, until the final split last year.
As far as the poster thing goes, this printer bid for the job of printing Reichen's poster. And the letter he sent Reichen was awful and upset us all.
It IS discrimination! One line from the letter--"People are not born Gay any more than they are born adulterers. Or murderers. Or thieves."
This man is claiming to be a true christian so he will not aid in promoting anyone gay. From what I have seen in watching Reichen sign and send orders for his calendars, it the women who are ordering more.
Celebrity Justice will do a segment on this subject which will air Friday, tomorrow.

That's what I thought..... I thought the guy was discriminating against Reichen! Angry

That's just terrible...... some people are just... ugh. Cry

Wouldn't a true Christian not discriminate against people? We're all human beings, shouldn't be all be treated the same? Aren't all people supposed to be equal?! I just don't understand some people. Cry

Isn't "lust" basically against one of the 10 commandments? It's ok with this guy to shoot and print sexy beefcake posters and sell them to people who are lusting after them, but then he has an issue when he finds out Reichen is gay and puffs up about what a great Christian he is? Hypocrite...

i think he just wants a name for himself. i mean, why did he bid for someone he apparently doesn't know the most basic things about? then create this issue?
