US: Gay porn model sacked from Subway

Mon 8 Sep 2008 In: International News View at Wayback

Kurt Wild, 22, from St Louis, Missouri is a gay porn model, and until recently a Subway sandwich bar employee – until a customer recognised him from his porn work and complained. 6-inch or footlong?: Kurt Wild Wild, who has appeared for Freshmen and Buckshot, explained in an email to BGay.com that the Subway's manager fired him after the customer threatened to boycott the store. "A customer said they wouldn't even eat there at Subway anymore because of my past work and said that if I wasn't fired then they would boycott the store. "Maybe I should take a stand and boycott their store too if they can't let people's privacy be treated right. "I should have the right to work anywhere I can and it isn't right or fair that people can keep me from working simply because of a "gay" issue. "If a girl did what we do it would probably be ok.. and if a guy does straight porn.. he is bragged about. When I do gay porn, I feel a bit lynched for the rest of my life." US gay website AfterElton.com also reported the story, which it said raised several questions. "How on Earth did this customer, who apparently isn't a fan of gay porn given his or her response, know that Wild was in gay porn in the first place?" wrote gay blogger Brian Juergens. "And how does having a documented history of being sexually active make you unfit to serve sandwiches? I guess they should fire all of the employees that have children as well?"
