"Gay for pay" male porn stars was the topic on yesterday's Tyra Show. The porn stars talked about how they prepare for scenes and whether they like to "give it" or "receive it." They all claimed they are straight and that they are attracted to women. Anyways, watch the videos and let me know what you think. Are these guys straight? Or are they really bisexual?
– Andy
More videos after the JUMP:
Please get over yourselves. These guys are gettin’ their money and handling their own, so what business is it of anybody elses and why are they being judged?
Tyra needs to stop being so patronising and stop her vendetta against the porn industry. Her comments about being a bottom making you more ‘gay’ were very offensive, if anything that makes you less gay because you don’t have to do anything.
Also that gay guy that came on to give his opinion needs to get out and live real life. Life doesn’t just revolve around gay bars and the scene. I think it’s great that straight people come into gay clubs and I welcome it with open arms. As long as they aren’t being homophobic or causing problems then I say the more the merrier.
The gay community really need to stop segregating themselves from the whole world. They, or we as I should say, constantly go on about being discriminated against when as a matter of fact discrimination really isn’t that bad. I’m from Australia, and I know I appreciate that we have our own street & clubs to go to. Hiding yourself away from straight people is not going to help the problem, and honestly, if you can’t handle some drunken yobbo calling you a poof once in a while, how are you going to deal with life in general?
I found that actually very interesting. And no, I don’t think they should be classified as bisexuals. The world is much more grey than just straight, bi and gay. If I was a porn star who could make more money having sex with a woman, hell yeah I’d pop a Viagra. It’s not like women are repellent, I’m just not attracted to them.
I always thought Tyra was fluff, but that was interesting. Thanks for the clips!
I think the gay guy was a freakin’ retard. I disagreed with almost everything that came out of his mouth, including his sentiment that he didn’t want straight people/bartenders in gay clubs. Also, since when have people in the gay community hated the gay for pay guys? I always think they’re hotter.
Interesting article, i kind of agree with the guy in the video. A lot of people hire str8 guys in bars, cuz you cant get them. It makes them more unattainable and hence more attractive. Hence most people think they’re hotter. Its a little manipulative. More hunting, less knowing what to do with it after you caught it. I dont think it’s being a separatist, nor do i think that was his point. They’re enough hot gay gays out there to hire our own for our clubs. If they wanna come for a good party, then all the merrier. Judging them.. either morally or their sexuality, I’m not. they’re free to do as they please. Clearly there is a market for it, so go for it.I would rather go for something I can take home.
i think the gay for pay actors should be applouded for the fact that they are going threw the same discrimition we are and they are for out rights because they are going threw the same thing. they make 10,000 a sceen, doing gay porn. i think it put them in out shoes and yes i own one of arrons magazines and i saw him on mtv. he is a great guy and should be applouded.
i also found this very interesting… it was interesting to hear them explain themselves, as i have often wondered what it is like for them, and whether they were actually gay/bi or str8. i did find tyra to be a little offensive… i’m really starting to like these daily topics! keep it up!
Im just going to put it simply all the straight guys are doing is taking advantage of the better pay. Its how we as human beings are, not one person can say that they wont pick one job over the other due to pay. I also believe that they should not be judged for doing gay for pay mainly because its THEIR choice. I dont think that its wrong to the gay community for them to do this. I honestly dont think porn can be equivalent to meth and other narcotics simply because thats all human choice. I think we need to stop running in circles playing a game of blame were all with faults. Wasnt this country built on the grounds of choice because our ancestors left to escape such oppression? I found tyra to be simply human in trying to understand the reasoning behind the gay for pay. She wasnt offensive at all merely inguisitive, However the gay advocate man was merely a statistic throwing know it all. Not accounting that human choice is something you can never truely record accurately. We dont need a man like him representing us with just blah facts that only target a hand select group of people. I believe he should have been less offensive towards haveing only gay bartenders mainly because if we want people who are against us to be less ignorant doesnt that mean we have to be willing to step to par as well to show our honest intention? WE have to be willing to level with others inorder for them to say “Hey I get it” thats all thats stopping us from gay marriage “fighting” for gay marriage isnt going to get us the bills passed and proposition 8 passed what will is just us going to pthers and saying hey were not going to point fingers and blame we just want to be able to have the same equal standings as yourself to equal like we were all created. The past is the past let us not make the same mistakes in our future, but learn so we can mend the rifts between us as one race. feel free to say your thoughts I would be even glad to debate over this simply due to can we really pick and choose just what is okay inour community simply when theyr choosing whats right in their community doesnt that put us both at fault?
Just saw a typing error in my comment about prop 8 and I ment stopping it not passing it my bad guys
The thing that upsets me about news stories on gay lifestyle is that they usually pick one gay person- usually a very flamboyant one at that- and then that person gets to “represent” the entire gay community. To me, all that does is enhances the negative stereotypes associated with homosexuality. That one person does NOT represent me! Not every gay guy is flamboyant, high pitched, and talks with a lisp. Some of us are no different that a straight man outside of the bedroom and you would have no idea unless I decided to tell you I was gay.
I don’t think a straight guy can perform as a bottom in a gay movie. I’m talking about that young and sweet boy who says he is straight, married, and have three kids.
It is so hard to believe that a straight guy be the bottom and be fucked long and hard. I saw this sweet boy in several movies acting as a bottom, and he seems totally gay. How a straight guy can suck cocks and be fucked by two or more guys? It’s totally unbelievable.
Well, he has 3 kids and a wife to support, and he does this for money, uhmmmm?
Anyways I have nothing against him. I think he’s a cute and sweet guy, but sorry I don’t believe you’re straight, you must be bi-sexual. Anyways I love you.
To Austin, the issue isn’t that he is effeminate, why does that matter? The issue is his close minded attitude towards the heterosexual community and the way he is encouraging gays to segregate themselves. You really shouldn’t judge somebody on their mannerisms.
And to Darwin, being a bottom would be FAR easier than being a top. You’re not required to be aroused, you just need to know how to relax so you are able to receive penetration. If you’re a top you need to stay hard & aroused, look at the guy and really be into it.
I cant see why a straight guy would want to be in gay porn. wouldnt it be wierd for you if your straight?
Often on gay porn sites I will see a guy that they say is a straight virgin, So how do you explane his gaping butthole? He has been sticking something big in there and often. Whatever do what you want lie and say your not gay or Bi if you want. Each person should know for themselves,even if they feel they have to lie to everyone else.
I am not turned on by a guy that calls himself straight. I sure as hell don’t want to fuck any straight guy.Actual gay men are HOT! I dont care if they are bottoms or tops nelly or butch Gay men turn me on!
Funny, yet interesting, to read how my fellow gay brothers are persistent in stressing the importance of a gay-for-pay actor’s sexuality. Guys, this is porn. Plain and simple. It’s a business, and these guys are making a living…and being paid a heckuva lot more than working in straight porn. Sure, they could use other means to find work. But as long as there is a market for gay men watching these men perform, I say hooray for capitalism, and chill.
And to K.Ray: Any hot man, gay or straight, turns me on…
I like this subject, about the whole I’m straight but enjoy having cock inside me, it’s very contradicting, and ultimately intriguing. I’m sorry, but if you are hard when getting it from behind, and your working your body to the motion of such a penetrating activity, your not straight. I rather explore the whole subconscious, or psychological motive to why you would participate in this, is the key factor in my book. I find that a lot of amateur/ professional porn actors have issues, mentally, and with substance abuse. And of course there’s the very few who enjoy what they do, because to them it’s blissful to be captured in lust, but nonetheless very intriguing” of course it could be said the same for actors, etc, but to me it’s about why you would go against your morality? if you say you are this way, and then display something completely different than what would entitle or proclaim you to be who you are”
that queer needs to loose his job at the advocate… he is speaking about his own opinion, and not those of others…and to say a large base of porn views are drug users who play these porn dvds at orgies where unprotected sex is practiced… i mean COME ON, really? fucking stupid…at the abbey for a long time there were gay for pay bartenders… they were pretty to look at, but no one really gave a fuck if they were gay or straight….second, gay men wouldn’t be working as bartenders, because we are all attention whores, we would rather be enjoying the bar and mingling with the crowds, so have some hot pay for gay bartender who cares… and tyra is just retarded, she really has nothing else to talk about…
Raul, just because you enjoy anal stimulation does not make you gay. There is nothing gay about that. The prostate gland acts as the male G-spot, so of course it is going to be pleasurable. That’s why a lot of girls finger their bfs when giving them head. Porn is a business and these guys are making money, and they’re not ashamed to admit it.
Feeling pleasure from there is just a natural part of the body.
If show producer just found real “gay” porn star talking about their experience and life; who wants to talk about it later?
I think this is a great conversation on here. Thanks everyone! I teach identity construction at a university, and all of this gay/straight terminology is really limiting. Sean Kelly, the Advocate writer, made some uninformed, conservative comments around identity, which I found typical of people who claim to speak for the “gay” community. There is a difference between an identity and behavior. The two things can be linked, but they don’t have to be. I find it fascinating and disappointing that “gay” people can be so conservative and normative in the way they view identity. We don’t want to be judged, so let’s stop judging.
The guy from the Advocate made us all sound like we don’t know what’s going on. Like we’re some kind of witless country bumpkins.
Please.
I went to a college in Mississippi, with one gay bar, and WE understood what was going on. There was a member of the college’s baseball team working as a bartender, and it wasn’t hard to know he was straight when his girlfriend came to work with him every night.
At least with a straight bartender, you know someone will do a little flirting with you, even if it doesn’t lead to anything. I’ve seen gay bartenders just act completely absorbed in their little cliques, and end up ignoring other potential customers as a result.
And, I’ve seen gay bartenders flirt with guys, just to sell more drinks and get more tips.
Well… i still just can’t believe that tyra made a show about this!! she is too FIerce!
“The thing that upsets me about news stories on gay lifestyle is that they usually pick one gay person- usually a very flamboyant one at that- and then that person gets to “represent” the entire gay community. To me, all that does is enhances the negative stereotypes associated with homosexuality.”
Austin, although the flamboyance of gay men can make most of us wince, it is also a large part of our culture. The public’s perception is largely based on what the media projects to their audience. And unfortunately, it has come down to either airing a gay pride parade in their local community, a gay rights demonstration, or as is the case here, being a member of a panel discussing gay issues. The gay community is very inclusive; as we can attest with the acceptance of bisexuals and transgendered. The only negative stereotypes I see here, is when we are so caught up concerning ourselves on someone’s mannerisms rather than hearing what he or she has to say.
As far as straight men working in gay bars I have no problem with that as long as they aren’t leading guys on and aren’t assholes. I know a few straight guys that work in the gay bars I hang out with and I look at them more so as alies more so than anything. But when it comes to Porn and the adult industry is where it stops. Note that in gay porn it’s not always about just finding straight men for these types of things.. I see gay men who are describe themselves as “straight-acting” whatever you wanna call it doing it, when most know all well it’s not their first time.
I do agree with the Editor for the advocate in saying that it does put out more negative than a positive, but it also gives more and more closeted men an excuse to not be honest with themselves and say. oh hey, well I’m just doing this for the money.. You can still pose or just do self scenes you don’t have to perform oral sex but you do and then you still wanna say that your straight. Some of you might not agree but there are a lot of people who share his views but I’m not as far as saying in gay clubs. Viagra may effect your sex drive but it’s not an excuse. It’s a cop out for closet case B.S. Don’t get me wrong I’m a gay man like most we all watch porn & get off doing it, but I would give much more respect for someone who was more honest with themselves while they are doing it, even though I would not go down that road.
It also send a negative body image to gay men that is in ways the same for women, Be the busty bimbo and you might get more popular.. Be the beefed out butch jock and you’ll be more popular. People forget that it’s just a fantasy- not always reality, and that creates peer-pressure, issues with self essteem, and depression and negativity within the gay community.
What Tyra and the editor guy said infuriates me. What sort of delusional world are they living in where a gay bar is this utopia of ‘no judgement or no negativity’. I am much more comfortable with my straight friends in a straight bar than with gay friends in a gay bar, and it’s definitely not from ‘internalized homophobia’. A lot of gay men can be extremely judgemental and gossipy and the idea that I ONLY want to see gay people in a gay bar is ludicrous, everyone should be able to have a good time.
It’s also unfair to link porn and drugs, just as it would be to link gay men and drugs – there’s an increased incidence yes, but you can’t tar everyone with the same brush.
And let’s face it, a lot of guys aren’t going to a gay bar to ‘escape negativity’, they’re going either to dance, drink or get laid.
It would be very naive to think that youth, fitness and the male ideal is not prevalent in our culture. It is very much a part of gay culture; and the media, the gay media in particular, perpetuates that very ideal to the gay masses. We may not all buy into it, but these superficial aspects within our culture offer advertisers enough indicators as to where to target their market….and the gay porn industry is a very large market for gay consumers. And yes, there are statistics to support this fact.
I also find it amusing that anyone would place any value in watching porn other than for what it is…a skin flick. What type of “respect” would anyone expect to give while watching two guys engaged in having sex? And since when did porn have anything to do with one’s integrity? It’s porn, guys! Please. Save the morality B.S. lesson to the Ted Haggards of the world.
Tyra’s condescending tone always gets on my nerves and sorry Tyra not all gay guys are bottoms. I’m not, never have been and never will be a bottom and also guess what, some straight guys love when their wives/gfs fuck them with dildos because it stimulates their prostates. Anal play does NOT always equal gay! As for whether the guy is bi or straight, he’s probably bi (could kinda tell from his nervous body language at Tyra’s persistent questions about it) but he has a wife and 3 kids to support so who can blame the poor guy from saying he’s ‘straight’ to get the big bucks, more power to ya kid!
At the end of the day Tyra is not a real journalist, and her talk show is nothing but tabloidy gossip.
Although she had good intentions, she came across as patronising and condenscending, and I would think somebody in the entertainment/fasion industry would know more in regards to the gay community.
I’m actually kind’ve annoyed now that this is my 3rd reply, because a show like hers doesn’t warrant such a response. I’ll tune in next time Janet Jackson or Beyonce come on to perform, but I won’t be watching any of her ‘serious’ episodes. She’s as bad as Ricki Lake, and if you search youtube and look at the episode she did on the porn industry with Sasha Grey, you will see just what tabloidy, ridiculous and judgemental show it is.
The Editor of the Advocate does NOT speak for me. Who cares if the bartender at my gay bar is str8 (he is) as long as he is friendly and respectful. How dare you as the editor of a gay magazine insist that str8 boys stay away from us and stick to their own? We are fighting for people to accept and understand that we are more alike than not alike. You come along with an attitude like this and you should be fired. You are NOT my representative. You are a representative of The Advocate. Since this is how The Advocate thinks, I am canceling my subscription.
I wanted to punch that gay guy. I found him patronising, sanctimonious and stuffy. And I have not heard such a whiney, nasal voice since Fran Drescher.
We should E-mail the advocate all this feedback here. Like copy & Paste lol. For real!
Regarding the guy who is married with three kids, it’s kind of his business. He’s human and obviously he can experience pleasure in his line of work. And he gets a paycheck to boot (pardon the pun!)
I once read about a director who was quoted as saying that he only works with european guys because he found the guys are more open, and many of them are, basically, straight guys
These guys certainly do not have to defend themselves as to whether they are 87% or 96% straight
I don’t think its a problem for a str8 person to work at a gay bar. How many times are gay ppl discriminated at a str8 establishment. Yet the advocate guy is not advocating, but instead talking about bluntly discriminating against a str8 person working at a gay place. I’m like wtf. Yet he is tryin to speak as if he is talking for all gay ppl, NO , he isn’t,, and i think the str8 guys can and is perfectly fine for them to work at a gay place. I do not advocate a reverse discrimination on str8’s working at a gay place. I wants rights and I don’t want rights or priviledges takin away from me or other gay ppl or even str8 ppl, that just keeps the discriminating pot boiling. How dare the Advocate man say such a thing.
Wow, this was probably the most offesive thing i’ve seen in a long time.
First off the Gay guy, was the smartest person on this panel, next to the sex trader worker. He spoke very true to the issue of glorifying he “straight image” and the issue of straight flushes in community areas desinated for gay men. Lets think of the fact that a straight guy can go ANYWHERE, and as a girl out, no issues. But a Gay guy, has limited places and a majority of the men aren’t even the same sexuality.
And yes, the issue around the glorifying of straight men is a huge problem. Because frankly, we aren’t straight, we are differnet people. And we need to accept that! You will never marry the straight guy, you will never have kids with the straight guy, you’ll never be comfortable in public with the straight guy. MOVE ON!
As for the offensive, first off was Tyra, the raging Diva that claims to be a big supporter of the Mo’ community. However, her comments about being a bottom making you the more gay role, sets gay psychology back a hundred and four steps. Anyone who has matured in sexuality knows that the majority of newbies identify as tops, because of the negative stigma that being a bottom is “the really gay role”. Tyra just made the audience “ohh” with aggreance over her statement that bottoming makes you gayer. Well good job Tyra, all the sex educators out there who say the male p-spot exists are shaking their fists at you now. Let alone the anal bead manufractures just pulled their AMTM line off the shelf.
After Tyra created a show about her own illinformed opinions on sexual practices (which are not the same as sexuality FYI!) She interviews two douches, who think they are saviours because they are “keeping the gay guys out of the bars, drugs and other bad situations!”
I watch a lot of porn, and I don’t do drugs but are those related. Nope, the fact I don’t have a partner is probably more related, as my dick is shaffed and I spend all day thinking of the straight porn stars. So my theory is that they don’t keep me out of the bars and drugs but rather keep me in a celebate lifestyle, which prevents me from having a happy stable gay home life, which leads me to go to the bars until I’m old and gray and start taking drugs to feel better…OH shit! The drugs are back…Damn porn stars.
Dear Gay for Pay porn stars: You are not saving me or anyone else. Take yourself off your dildo encrusted throne and realize you aren’t benefiting our community. Instead you are creating unattained fantasies that will never occur. I’ve slept with the straight guy…in a year he was begging for it. Trust me, not as hot as these actors make it.
Then there is the whole issue that these guys deal with homophobia worse then actually gay men. GAWDDDDD!!
Tyra you failed in this assingment, the best thing you did was bringing Sean Kennedy on your show.
I personally think you can also enjoy sex with men and women but not be bisexual. To me heterosexual means wanting be with a woman not just sexually but emotionally as well, being gay means you want a man not just sexually but emotionally too. I may fuck guys, yes both give and take, and enjoy it, but I’m not emotionally attracted to guys. I know many guys will dispute this but one of the definitions of bisexual is to participate in both hetero and homosexual lifestyles (not just sex).
Look, Mr. Advocate is merely espousing his own views. To thinks he speaks for the vast majority of the gay community is a crock. If I go to a bar, which isn’t that often and a good looking guy (they’re usually shirtless, aren’t they?) serves me a drink and is pleasant, I think wow, what I hot guy and how nice. I don’t much care whether he’s gay or str8, because as George Michael said so famously “what business is it of yours, you are never going to get to shag me anyway.” Ditto the porn actors. I can honestly say finding out a porn actor is str8 in real life doesn’t diminish my appreciation of his “work.” Nice try, Tyra, but my money’s on the str8 guys. They’re honest and upfront about it.
The guy from the Advocate…freaking retard. No wonder I stopped subscribing. Christ its about porn…I like porn…Please don’t make me think about it.
Being gay does not refer to the act of sex. The reference for the way that most gay mean have sex is a term known as ‘anal sex’. ‘Gay’ means a relationship where two individuals of the same gender love each other on an emotional level.
If these guys don’t love other men on an emotional level, they are not gay. Tyra, in her shallow talkshow, does not understand the difference between sex and love as emotion and has drawn the term ‘gay’ to be synonymous with ‘anal sex’ and herein lies the folly in the direction of her questions.
Ok hold up a minute. Shane what’s all this mess about these straight porn stars creating unattainable figures? ITS PORN! You’re not gonna marry the guy! How do you even know if they’re gay or straight? If you’re actually thinking about their personal life and sexuality then you need to get out and meet some real men.
Also, we are not different people from straight people. We all are equal, black, gay, straight or otherwise. We have to be dignified and strong enough to stick by that even in the fact of discrimination.
And what’s with all this ‘glorifying the straight image’? BIG DEAL! It’s a fetish. That’s like saying rimming glorifies a bad image, leather glorifies a bad image. As long as it’s not illegal then each to their own.
The guy from the advocate was an idiot. He needs to move past the fact that he is attracted to men, realise he’s just like everybody else and just LIVE LIFE.
I know this is off topic but…
K.Ray said, “Often on gay porn sites I will see a guy that they say is a straight virgin, So how do you explane his gaping butthole?”
I agree 100%. I love in a porn movie when a guy is hesitant – he’s never had sex with a guy before, this will be his first time. Yet somehow, within minutes he can deep throat ten inches and a Ford truck could park up his ass, LOL.
I believe the majority of the population are somewhere on a scale between 1 (totally heterosexual) and 6 (totally homosexual). The fact that these guys are willing get aroused and perform with another man means they are at least to some extent bisexual, in my opinion. A straight man isn’t going to want to perform with another man regardless of the pay and the so called “prep” ahead of time and watching straight porn. Plus, I wouldn’t be surprised if a percentage of these men are just in total denial or actually get off on the whole perception of being straight and seduced by gay sex and like the attention. Perfect example of this theory is the Sean Cody website and the myth that the majority of his guys on that site are straight.
Furthermore, I think the gay porn industry does the gay community a huge disservice by marketing the “gay for pay”. I want to see another gay or bisexual man enjoy sex with another man and not fantasize about a straight guy being seduced or discovering gay sex. It’s actually a turn off for me and it’s total exploitation.
As for Tyra’s remark that being a bottom makes you more gay, that just blatantly shows how ignorant she is and that she shouldn’t be commenting on subjects she has no clue about. How man heterosexual men out there like their woman to penetrate them with a finger or even a toy?
Porn is porn, people. It’s all about the dong. The twig and berries.
I have never gone into watching any porno with first asking for the actor’s gay credentials. If you care that much about a porn actor’s sexuality, then you are no better than that portion of the gay community who lives in hypocrisy by labeling people one way or the other.
While the Advocate may be the voice of the gay community, they are not the end all and be all. And they certainly don’t represent every gay man. Why that nimrod was on the panel made no sense at all; but hey…sensationalism is the name of the ratings game.
The only “disservice to the gay community” I see here, is reading some idiotic notion that gay men are or should only be attracted to gay men. Jeez guys, please do not the refute the argument that we’ve indeed evolved.
Of course this young guy is gay or bi-sexual. I have watched many of his movies, and he always has his cock very hard before sucking, and when he is sucking cock.
Also his hole is very open, and he keeps his erection till he cums.
How a straight guy can perform better than a gay bottom? Some bottoms even don’t get hard when they have sex with other men.
He must be having problems with his wife and he is trying to clean his image saying publicly on TV that he is straight.
A straight guy can try anything, even get fucked with his wife fingers or dildos or whatever, But if you do all this with a man, you’re not straight.
Amazing that my fellow gay brothers are still going at it as to what constitutes a gay-for-pay actors sexuality. Yes, the moderator of this post is asking such a stupid question. All Andy is doing is stirring the waters and revealing how stupid people can be with generalizations such as “his hole is very open”, or “he keeps his erection when he cums”, “a Ford truck could park in his ass”…oh yeah, all gay men fit that criteria I’m sure…oh sure, we can allow for the gay wit.
I’m not trying to be a stuffed shirt, here. It just ticks me off that we are so critical of others, yet we can’t take the heat when we are judged. And posts like this just feed into one of gay cultures’ oft-used cliches…is he or isn’t he? How do we ever get past asking such a shallow question? I suppose never…after all, gossiping is among our many strongsuits. Isn’t that right, ladies?
I get irritated when gay men always want to refer to any and every man that is gay or bisexual as there gay brothers.Why do they have to be pigeonholed into your community just because the similarities of sexual attraction.That in itself turns alot of men with same sex attractions off.
Snowboard,if your attracted to a woman of any form,you are not gay!.I hate when gay men cling on to the title so much with pride,they want to deny there bisexuality by claiming a sexual attraction to a woman does not mean you are not gay.That is absurd and ridiculous and science does not support these perceptions.You may identify as gay,yet you fall on the scale of bisexuality just like much of this society(admitting or not admitting to same sex attractions)
I would only have one thing to add to all of this:
Just be yourself, only then you will find happiness 😉
We’re all human animals, sometimes we tend to forget that.
Live and let live, and everyone will love you for it.
Sven
Jay, you are absolutely correct about my implications of lumping gay, bi, transgendered together under one definition. It may seem as splitting hairs to most since representation for most non-straight communities falls under the rainbow flag.
As a bisexual myself, I use the term “gay brothers” with a broad stroke, and have no qualms about the inclusiveness of bisexuals, transgendered, lesbian and gay as being under one roof. That is just how the gay community is structured, and is informally defined under the court of public opinion.
It’s very unfortunate that bisexuals will make stringent efforts to distance themselves from the gay community. And sadly, all that accomplishes is more division within the minority. There is this belief of many bisexuals that they have a cultural advantage and acceptance for those with same-sex and opposite-sex attraction vice those with only same-sex attraction. Perhaps among bisexual females, this may be the case.
It would be quite a feat to convince the general populace the differences of male-to-male attraction as a bisexual vice male-to-male attraction as a gay man; when all the public will see is that both groups share the same attraction for men…while the attraction for women simply becomes an afterthought. (Didn’t mean to footnote the women)
I think Sven has got the right idea, though. Live and let live.
True Life: I’m Gay For Pay
Are you a straight person engaging in sexual activity with same-sex partners, in exchange for money, despite the fact that you’re heterosexual? Are you currently employed in the sex industry, working in gay porn or as an escort catering to same-sex clients? Perhaps you’re a college student simply looking to earn some extra cash on the side. Are you enjoying yourself in spite of your true sexual orientation? Or did you get involved in this line of work out of necessity? Do your friends and family know what you do or are you living with a secret that you fear could be exposed at any moment? If you’re lining your pockets by pretending to be gay for a living, MTV wants to hear from you.
If you appear to be between the ages of 16 and 28, and you think that you have an interesting story to tell the world about your experiences, email us at GayForPay@mtvn.com with all of the details. Please be sure to include your name, location, phone number and a photo.
The first comment, “Tyra needs to stop being so patronising and stop her vendetta against the porn industry. Her comments about being a bottom making you more ‘gay’ were very offensive, if anything that makes you less gay because you don’t have to do anything.”
I completely agree. Tyra Banks is a second tier tv show producer who glorifies herself as a sort of Oprah/Jesus Christ– being a bottom does not make you more gay. She probably doesn’t even really feel that way, she just says she does because the majority of her viewers are delusional faghags. I don’t understand, “more gay,” or, “less gay,” you simply are or you are not.
(shrug)
