Right-wing posterchild accused of gay porn past (Marine Reservist Matt "Rod Majors" Sanchez)

[Ian David]

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 Coulter hurled her now-infamous "faggot" insult against Democratic former U.S. Sen. John Edwards. Sanchez was photographed posing with Coulter at the conference.

Sanchez recently appeared on conservative talk shows, including the "O'Reilly Factor," criticizing "radical anti-military students" he met while recruiting at Columbia University in New York, where he is a student.

Prior to his political career, Sanchez allegedly 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."

8. The best part of this story

is that Bill O' had him on his show the day after he (O'Leilly) had done a segment screaming about the fact that San Francisco had honored Colt Studios with an official city proclamation.

A former gay porn star and male escort was awarded the Jeanne Kirkpatrick Freedom award at last weekend's CPAC. He is Cpl. Matt Sanchez, a Marine, campus culture warrior and Fox News favorite who David Horowitz introduced me to at CPAC.

Tom Bacchus has a full run-down of the Sanchez saga, along with photos which you should absolutely NOT view if you are in the presence of minors or in a crowded workplace. On my blog, I describe my meeting with Sanchez, discuss his psychological similarities to Ann Coulter, and explain how personally conflicted figures like him are drawn to the right.

Conservatives Laud Gay Porn Star Marine



Cpl. Matt Sanchez, a USMC reservist, was recently feted at the CPAC conference where Ann Coulter made her "faggot" joke. Sanchez has been on all the conservative chat shows talking about the poor reception he has received from "radical anti-military students" while recruiting for the Marines at Columbia University, which he attends, and the right-wingers have quickly come to his defense.



What the conservatives apparently don't know is that Sanchez has acted in many gay adult films, and Joe.My.God, who tipped me off to the story, notes the irony: 'Now, porn stars are entitled to enter the military, although Sanchez obviously had to do it on the downlow. 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. (Wait, have I seen that movie?) But, Oh.The.Irony. of Sanchez appearing with Bill O'Reilly who only a couple of days went apoplectic over San Francisco's 'Colt Studio Day.' And OH, the irony of Ann 'Faggot' Coulter happily posing with Sanchez for a photo-op."

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, California and went on a few dates in 1989 when I was a graduate student at Stanford. I haven't seen him since. 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.

I had not been following Sanchez on the right-wing talkies, and had I caught those segments you would have heard about this story much sooner. Though perhaps that was for the best, because should the story behind Sanchez have been brought to light any earlier, O'Reilly, Coulter, and others may not have been caught with their pants down on this one.

12. I would dearly love to see Colbert to a take off on that

Every year, the city and county of San Francisco issue a proclamation honoring a group called the Bears of San Francisco; it is read at a banquet during an event called the International Bear Rendezvous. And we all know how Colbert feels about bears. :rofl:

(For the less-well-informed: a bear is a gay man who does not conform to the "pretty boy" stereotype of being skinny and devoid of most body hair.)
