PHOTOS: Suspended Gay Porn Student John Gechter Won’t Sue School, If …
No. 11, 13 & 18 are extremely disturbing to me.
Anyway, I don’t see why they wouldn’t permit him to transfer his credits. I guess the real question would be whether another university would accept all of them (I think the cap is usually about 60 for transfer where the required number for graduation is 120).
Better luck elsewhere, John.

I think he leaked news about his porn career to the campus because he is capitalizing on this “scandal.”
Doesn’t he have some high-profile porn appearances lined up?
I suspect it won’t be long before his academic career isn’t mentioned anymore.

he’s very hot and I’m sure we won’t let him forget it..morning goods anyone??

@The Gay Numbers: Because he was pushed into it by conservative parents. Even he admits that the education he received there was exceptional.

@vernonvanderbilt: actually colleges can reserve the right to with-hold grades, if they are private. by that i mean ‘official’ transcripts, which are necessary to transfer credits/grades to another institution.

SUE… SUE… SUE… I am usually against lawsuits, as it only makes the lawyers rich. In this case, it’s the only option to battle the ongoing discrimination and hate being passed by these “holier than thou” religious institutions, who have caused so much pain and suffering to a group of people born differently.
These Goliath churches have “obscene” amounts of money which they have harvested off their congregations. They build new buildings, schools, colleges…the latter of which seem to practice discrimination. So if the Gays (Davids) need to find a good weapon to handle these large thugs, I think a single good lawyer (who may be willing to do pro bono) would be a good suggestion. This is the one thing the huge “money filled” churches are worried about if we get full equality … AND THEY SHOULD!

I went to school with this guy, he always seemed a little different than other people at the school. Most people at this school are very conservative (and straight, of course.)
I can’t really stick up for him though… we were all held to a code of conduct that he was aware of when he was admitted. When you violate the code of conduct the school has a right to punish you in a way they see fit. It should be noted that there was a sexual tape (straight) that was passed around campus some ~6 years ago that depicted four students engaged in sex. Those four students were expelled, which is worse than what John received. They do not have double standards for homosexuals, in fact they are much more lenient than other Christian schools I know of.
I too hope the person who found this video is punished because it seems there was a violation there as well.

@steveleong: you are incorrect. Most of GCC’s money is from private contributions, i.e. alumni. They also do not accept government funding.
As you can read in my above post, GCC treats all sexual conduct code violations (straight or gay) equally. In fact, John was punished much more lightly than other students who have been caught violating codes of conduct.

It’s sad what happened to John BUT it was not a wise decision for him to work with Randy Blue and “gay photographers” while he was attending a conservative Christian college. I don’t blame the school for doing what they did. I am not supporting them but looking at the bigger picture, John was the one who made the unwise decision.
Reminder to us all, once you have something out on the internet, EVERYONE will eventually see it.

From what I’ve read elsewhere:
(1) John will be graduating with a GCC degree, by transferring credits from elsewhere (like BOB says). This is actually counter to the College’s policies, which say that the last 30 hours of credits in a major must be completed at GCC. They are going out of their way to suspend this rule for John’s sake.
(2) Sue who for what? One could make a harrassment case for the e-mails – though not a particularly strong one. Defamation of character or slander only works if the accusations aren’t true. If the accusations are just “John was in gay porn”, then he has no case at all. And, he’s not really losing much of anything as far as the money he spent at the college is concerned – he’s losing no credits at all. Finally, as others note, if it is discrimination, it’s to his benefit, as straight students in a similar situation were expelled rather than “suspended, with an exception to school rules, so that credits from outside can transfer in for graduation purposes”.

I’d like the kick the so called “Chritian” student in the ass for ratting on him. Gee, that was a really nice Christian thing to do to a classmate. It’s none of anyone’s business what this kid does when he is off the sacred campus of GCC. Probably the snitch is some dumb ass getting a degree in Christian Thought who thinks she’s better than everyone and will contribute nothing to society except to be a nosey judgemental bitch. We could use a few molecular biologist in the world today to help find cures for diseases like cancer. To bad there isn’t a cure for the perfect people at Grove City College!

I do not believe that a student’s private life should have any bearing on his academic career. So what? He took or gave it up the ass the pay for tuition. I personally feel assraped every time I open my tuition bill.
I would also throw in assault in the lawsuit since throwing fruit is assault. I do not know about what ever state he is in, in Texas, throwing fruit could fall under hate crime legislation.

This makes me so mad! No way this is a fake for attention, he was set to graduate this year, and they were trying to yank him out of school. Honestly if he were a straight porn star the school probably would have just ignored it, its not like he was running around claiming himself as a porn star.
This is just… leaves a person infuriated and hopeless. This is why I’d never go to a school of that type for Higher Education. Too much jeopardy in making your degree look bad (If the don’t accept certain things), too many politics not related to education.
I hope the best for John

I think this series of photographs is more interesting than most of the Morning Goods. The pictures with the sprinkles and raspberry syrup were a little disturbing but amongst the most interesting and imaginative. I must admit, his mix of gene pools had quite a good outcome. I don’t mean to be flippant, well maybe a little, but he might have a mind for accounting but a body for sin. He has a rump to occupy nightly dreams.

Doesn’t this school also have a morals code against possessing pornographic material? And yet the school hasn’t taken any action against the student who was surfing porn sites when he found the videos of Gechter. I guess assault and harassment aren’t a violation of the schools brand of Christian values.
