Right-wing hero, a gay porn star?

A US marine with a gay porn past has come under fire from bloggers for an unholy alliance with the the Republican party.

US Marine reservist Matt Sanchez, 36, was awarded with an Academic Freedom Award at the Conservative Political Action conference, where Coulter made her now infamous “faggot” insult. Sanchez was photographed posing with Coulter at the conference.

Sanchez recently appeared on conservative chat shows, including the O’Reilly Factor, criticising "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 names “Rod Majors” and “Pierre LaBranche” where 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, 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,” Joe.My.God. said in his blog.

Blogger Andy Towle also shed some light on Marine:

“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.”

“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.”
