Last week Tyra Banks had gay for pay porn stars Kurt Wild and Aaron James on her show. Besides being a not-so-subtle PR opportunity for their careers (as is every appearance on talk shows), Tyra insisted that should either choose to be gay or straight, period. Touting her fierce support (gawd, did I just use that word...) for "my gays", Tyra believes once you touch another man's penis, you've crossed the line - but of course, there's nothing wrong with that...This week, Ted Haggard was allowed to come out of exile to promote his HBO documentary, "The Trials of Ted Haggard". His first stop was a visit to Oprah, who expressed the same discomfort with vague labels.
I believe the gay for pay boys and the Ted Haggards are telling the truth that their sexual attraction falls somewhere in between the safe labels of gay / straight. Kinsey proposed that notion 50 years ago with the Kinsey Scale. With 1 being 100% straight, and 6 being 100% gay, there is a vast gap in between that some people fall into. Ted Haggard considers himself "heterosexual with issues". That, to me, would seem like a Kinsey 2 or 3.
Kurt Wild and Aaron James may also be in the Kinsey range of 2 or 3, but there's also the factor of big money being dangled in front of them. They're not apologetic or ashamed, nor are they abused or seduced. They have no problem working in gay porn individually, but it's other people's prejudices that cause the problems, especially in the case of Kurt Wild who got fired from his job. When he applied for a job at Subway Sandwiches, he told them in the interview that he did adult modeling and they had no problem with it. It wasn't until an uptight customer complained that the company was forced to fire him.
Ted Haggard could have continued preaching as a repentant sinner (like Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker) but it was the reaction of the church's board of directors that exiled him. Offering him a year's severance pay on the condition that he move out of Colorado and stay out of preaching and the media, he had no other choice. The church couldn't handle his problem. The press release stating "Ted Haggard emerged from 3 weeks of therapy 100% cured" came from the church, not from Ted. He still admits same sex attractions. As he said in the documentary, "The church is a business and a gay (or even slightly gay, ed) Ted Haggard is bad for business."
So what have we learned?
-Churches are businesses.
-Not everyone is completely gay or completely straight.
-Both the gay for pay pornstars and the defrocked preacher no longer have gay-panic, and are less homophobic.
-Kurt Wild is cute as a button.
-Aaron James has a fine looking ass.
