A U.S. marine alleged to have a 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, Donkey Dick, and Glory Holes of Fame 3, where his '11-inch uncut monster cock' earned him a devoted following," according to blogger Joe.My.God.
"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. Porn stars are entitled to have a right-wing ideology, even though the very people he supports would love to see gay porn stars strung up by the nuts."
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."
