But in some cases, it will be appropriate. To be sure, I’ve used the term “gay porn star” here in a lot of cases when I shouldn’t have, and I’ll no doubt continue to use it out of habit/laziness.
Maybe I started to realize it during the spectacular rise and ridiculous fall of Jason Crystal, the gay-for-pay performer who adopted no less than a dozen aliases, at least three hair colors, and appeared on over twenty gay porn websites in less than one year, but if I ever had any doubt, this image (left) of Robert Axel and “Coach Daddy” is proof of something that a lot of us have been lamenting (or in my case–denying) since at least the start of this decade: Gay porn stars are dead.
