Pays to be gay?

Remember the Rhodes Bros?  They are the twins that came out to their father and they taped it and posted it to YouTube.  Well apparently Ellen saw it and had them as guests on the show.  Then she gave them $10,000.00.  It’s my understanding that they were struggling with living conditions and needed some funding.  I didn’t watch the show but my initial reaction was wow, she paid them because they are gay. 

I have nothing against either the Rhodes Bros or Ellen, but I kind of think that the money giving should have been something done behind closed doors.  I mean if I am speaking up I am sure I am not alone and there are lots of other people who are kind of taken back by Ellen’s kindness.  It’s one thing to have them on the show but it’s another thing to give them money.  I see this whole thing as a huge mess and a controversy.  I wish nothing but the best for The Rhodes Bros and Ellen.

This also brings up gay for pay in the porn industry.  I understand that money can and does motivate people, I mean if it’s weren’t for the money we probably would have any crime.  In any case I have a difficult time understanding guys who are straight but have gay sex on camera just to make a dollar.  Gay or Straight in my world is either you are or you are not.  I personally don’t believe a person can be BI, I think they are hiding behind a label because they don’t want to make a choice.  If you are truly 100% straight then the whole idea of having gay sex should be a huge turn off for you and not something that you would even consider doing no matter how much money someone threw at you.  I mean for me personally, if you asked me to have sex with a woman – no camera involved and you would pay me some large sum of money, well my answer would be there isn’t enough money in the world.  It’s not something that sounds like a good time for me and obviously I am totally turned off.  Now if you said the same thing but said with a guy, well he would have to be a bit of a looker and then I take cash or certified funds. 

Lots of strange things happen in this world, each and every day.  I don’t spend a lot of time trying to resolve the worlds issues but once and a while I just have to say WTF.  This was one of those times. 

I hope all is well in your world and I will talk with you peeps later.
