Gay Pornstar Rod Majors aka Republican Darling Matt Sanchez Exposed on Olbermann

The interview on the video with Max Blumenthal was not the first mention of Sanchez’s past, which seems to substantially have come out in the blogosphere. Sanchez acknowledges working as “Rod Majors” on the blog, Joe. My. God. He now claims to be straight, or in his words “bad at being gay.”
I don’t fault Sanchez on the grounds of his past. What led him to his choices are his own business; but, the product of his work is quite public. If he’s really straight, I can’t fault him on being a Republican and playing media darling for the personalities of the far right. I certainly don’t agree with his choice to be Republican, but we all make bad choices from time to time. And now, all those right-wingers want a piece of him, figuratively—of course. I don’t know what the Republican haters who rushed to stand with their new “darling” knew about his past, if they did know there would be the motive to call them hypocrites.
In the interview on “Joe My God,” he comes off as smart and basically decent (though wrong or mis-led on the issues), I’m not ready to call him a hypocrite (at least no more so than many Republicans deserve). I will suggest that if his old gay films give him royalties, he’ll want to remember not to alienate his old fans.
Still, the whole incident presents the greatest of ironies. If there was a good gay-themed joke from CPAC, it wasn’t Ann Coulter’s nasty “faggot” line. The joke was on the haters. And Sanchez, while not himself the joke, provided the punchline.

so because he’s gay, he can’t be a republican?
the two are not mutually exclusive, but for a gay man to be Republican show a lack of empathy for other gay men who do not directly benefit from the unlikely association.
