Argentina’s gay gods announced that a porn star named Jorge Schmeda will represent them in this year’s Mr. Gay competition. Upon hearing the news, Gay Wired‘s Dylan Vox gets down and dirty with our nation’s porn opinions:
In the United States, gay porn is often looked upon as representing the gay community in a negative light, but other countries like Argentina have less hang ups about allowing their community to be represented by someone who has participated in the industry.
Wait, we’re supposed to respect porn stars as we would other people? You’re blowing our mind, Vox!
The journo also takes the opportunity to question the competition’s aesthetic and civil ideology:
There is nothing wrong with porn or rewarding and promoting beauty, but thinly disguising it as a means to conquer gay stereotypes seems like an injustice to the men involved.
Sometimes itâs OK to call a spade a spade, and no one will object to the eye candy that will be present at the competition. But if Mr. Gay is truly trying to break down gay stereotypes, then they may have missed the mark.
Oh, come on! First of all, it’s not as if Mr. Gay becomes the queer diplomat of the world. What does Mr. Gay do, anyway? If Vox wants the competition to break stereotypes then he’s opening the door to an unattractive reality. Sure, there are plenty of hot gay guys out there, but we imagine the less attractive trump them ten fold. We’re all about unattractive people (obviously…), but not in a beauty pageant…

I’m kinda about the beauty pageant… LOL.
(okay, i don’t MIND the beauty pageant… )
i certainly respect anyone in the sex industry as i would any other person… they live, they breathe, they are human after all.
but the reason why the gay porn industry is seen “in a negative light” isn’t because it’s porn… it’s be because it’s BAD.
you have the run-of-the-mill, turn-key, emotionless action figures of studio productions on one side, and the creepy pedophilia-esque Peter Pan syndrome of internet porn. there is no middle ground.

Growing up in the late forties and fifties, and achieving manhood in the mid sixties, we learned that HOMO sexuals were psychiatrically abnormal, theologically mortally sinful, and that we were illegal in all states. We were incapable of conjugal love beyond the last orgasm of the first light of dawn after a night of perversions beyond description.
The HOMO sexual was curable, but it would take years of aversion therapies for success. They are all paedophiles and a danger to healthy families and children.
Who gave the gays and lesbians their venues? and determined their subculture? Don Corleone, of course, was ready to provide what the “pessonovante” denied us. Anyone with a penis of whatever age was recruited to make the definition of HOMOsexual conform to the stereotype.
Of course, pornography and gay bars and bathhouses were their “cultural gift”.
In the 21st century, we are different activists who want to assimilate a culture before the fascist wing convinces our friends and families that the status quo ante is our future…and they have just the prisons and Final Solution ready.

We are all sexual creatures. Some just don’t mind having sex in front of the cameras. Me? I could never do it, just too shy. I do admire the ones that do. Thank goodness they do it for us to enjoy. Beautiful people to look at. I see nothing wrong or negative about it. GO FOR IT!!

Truly, it’s only been the last decade or so that the kill-or-be-killed real pageants (like the grandma of them all, Miss America) have featured contestants who showed any real depth (I can remember a Miss New York from the MissAm top ten not too long ago who had a face like a dirty hubcap, and my friends were wondering how in hell she got a state title… until she opened her mouth to sing in the talent competition.
If we want to dump stereotypical representations of any group of people, pageants have to go. I’m not for that, because I like watching pageants. Frankly, though, pageants for men seem a little aimless. Miss America, Miss USA actually get jobs when they win; if nothing else, they become spokespersons for the corporations that own their pageants. Drag queens who win pageants are essentially on entertainment contracts for a year in similar fashion. Somehow, a man whose talent presentation is a lip-synched production number seems a bit lame put up against, say, an actual stage performer with an Equity card, and the guys who do strip routines for their talent portion…
