From a story in Gay.com/U.K. March 2007 A U.S. marine alleged to have worked as an escort and gay-porn past has come under fire from bloggers for his alliance with the political right wing. Marine reservist Matt Sanchez, 36, was awarded an Academic Freedom Award at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where Ann Coulter hurled her now-infamous “faggot” insult against Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards. Sanchez was photographed posing with Coulter at the conference. Sanchez recently appeared on conservative TV talk shows, including The O'Reilly Factor, criticizing “radical antimilitary students” he met while recruiting at Columbia University in New York, where he is a student. Prior to his political career, Sanchez is said to have worked as a gay-porn star under the names Rod Majors and Pierre LaBranche. He starred in such art films as Jawbreaker, Every Body Does It, and Glory Holes of Fame 3, according to blogger Joe.My.God. Bloggers also uncovered Sanchez's past as a prostitute. According to a webpage allegedly posted by Sanchez, his day rate was $1,200. “I love men who can appreciate a nice body," reads another page allegedly posted by Sanchez. “I am very discreet and I only enjoy clients who look for that quality.” “Now, porn stars are entitled to enter the military,” Joe.My.God. said in his blog, “although Sanchez obviously had to do it on the down low.” Blogger Andy Towle had more to say: “I was shocked to see this story this morning, for the main reason that Matthew Sanchez and I met at a gay bar in San Jose, Calif., and went on a few dates in 1989 when I was a graduate student at Stanford,” Towle wrote on Towleroad.com. “It was brought to my attention after we had finished dating that he had gone on to do gay adult films, but I had no idea he had joined the military and was also holding hands with folks who would be so loath to accept him into their ranks had they any clue to his background.” |
