Link for all of those who missed the story. There is a link to an interview there that leads one to believe that he is attracted to men (he denies being gay though). Anyway, will the military take any action against him for being a former gay porn star/escort?
See this.
Whether the military takes action against Sanchez would depend on what his conduct has been during his service. It wouldn’t matter what he did before his service and being gay, all by itself (I know he’s now denying that he’s gay, but who does he think he’s kidding?) is not a bar for service as long as you don’t actually engage in any prohibited sexual activity while you’re in the military. If Sanchez did all his porn and escort activities before he joined the Marines, and if there is no evidence that he has done any dudes since he’s been in the military, there wouldn’t be action against him. He might have a tough time with other Marines, though.
Well, so long as he doesn’t send emails or participate in community theatre, but that goes without saying.
Am I the only one that find a gay porn star named “Sanchez” hilarious?
That dirty Sanchez!
From the above link:
That line gave my inner 12-year-old a good chuckle.
That’s not true. Under the current “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” policy, a soldier/sailor/airman can be seperated from the military if he or she reveals he or she is gay, all by itself, even if the soldier doesn’t engage in any prohibited sexual activity.
But he hasn’t admitted to being gay. He denies that he’s gay.
Yes, but the fact that he participated in the making of gay porn videos introduces the presumption that he “has a propensity to engage in homosexual conduct”, which is a bar to service.
Not to mention that if he’ll hug Ann Coulter then there’s nothing physical he won’t try.
Again he didn’t make those videos while in the military. He hasn’t had sex (or so he claims) with another male while in the military. He hasn’t actually done anything while in the military to “lead to presumption that he has a propensity to engage in homosexual conduct”.
Actually, he has a propensity to engage in simulated homosexual conduct. What he was actually doing was making some extra money in a day job. Does the military ever say “I am the Lord thy Job, thou shalt have no other Jobs while you hold Me?”
From this article on the subject:
So it appears I was incorrect.
Of course, discussion of this matter at all hurts the war effort:
One wonders what they think about discussion of Walter Reed.
Yes, to the best of my knowledge. While an active member of the military, you’re considered to be working for the military 24/7, which would preclude having another job elsewhere. A DI isn’t going to let a recruit leave training early because their shift at McD’s is starting.
This is, of course, irrelevant to the matter of Cpl. Sanchez, as the work in question was done before he joined.
It doesn’t actually preclude having another job; it requires one to get permission to have another job.
Interesting. Is it even remotely possible to get permission for anything resembling a steady job, or is it mainly for temporary things like, say, appearing in a film?
Both. The funny thing, though, is that Service-members tend to transfer. If one’s in the Navy and homesteaded (rotate between sea and shore assignments at the same base), then you have a far better chance of hanging onto a steady extra job.
The person in question is a Reserve Marine; they all have other jobs. (Again, not that this was his other job during his Marine stint.)
Reservists not on active duty don’t require permission to have other jobs (obviously).
