We’re sure there were only good intentions behind Falcon Studios’ new head of production Nick Fitt’s recent Pride proclamation, but he might have wanted to run the language by a few people before hitting ‘Tweet.’
Fitt, who is also a seasoned performer, took on the role of head of production at Falcon earlier this year. On Monday, he made a pretty big announcement about how he’d be tackling the gig.
“After #pride I FIRMLY support protecting our queer spaces,” he wrote. “I am in a role that can make a difference: No longer will I hire ‘Gay for Pay’ entertainers to play the role of gay/bi models. I heard you loud and clear this weekend. Gay models should be in gay roles. #gayforgay.”

It isn’t entirely clear who Fitt “heard loud and clear this weekend,” but it was West Hollywood Pride so perhaps there was a spirited debate about what the gay adult industry should be doing differently.
How about we take this to the next level?

It’s no secret that “gay for pay” performers have been a staple in the business, but how exactly a potential ban on the practice would be enforced does raise a few a few questions.
Judging by this followup tweet Fitt posted the next day, he may have jumped the gun just a bit.
“All my personal opinions on this matter reflect my personal beliefs and core values and do not represent any position of any company that I work with/for,” he wrote.

“How does this reply work with the original tweet? Seems like this cancels out the original tweet,” responded one commenter.

Honestly, we’d love to hear the answer as well.

Is this sort of like the debate around straight actors playing gay roles– and vice versa– in regular cinema?

I always thought acting was acting. Like that guy up there is not really an astronaut, he’s an actor
JTinToronto
Don’t watch Falcon product anymore, they always seem to go more for pretty than sexy. At least to me anyway. Prefer Treasure Island Media.

As sexual orientation is a protected class in California, wouldn’t it would be illegal to discriminate against straight or bi actors in gay porn?

How about we hire actors to act and not based on their ascriptive status

Who doesn’t like straight men playing gay for pay?

Oh yeah ! Love seeing a str8 man take a big gay dick up his Arse.

I know lots of “straight” married men who have lots of gay sex; so who is to say what is “acting” and what is real. When those guys go to church with their wives and children are they acting straight? It matters little to me; as a gay man I love having sex with straight men, they are always so grateful afterward, they aren’t used to good sex. And if “straight” performers do everything “gay” performers do, who is to say which is which. To all I say: just take your pants off and enjoy being men.

Falcon probably alerted him that his statement violated California state law and was unenforceable so he did the about-face on social media, but seriously, are there lots of people complaining and directly their complaints to Nick Fitt, Falcon or the other porn companies? Is this a Reddit/Twitter etc. thing most of us missed?

hire the straights only if they bottom.

RIGHT? hilarious but why not?

AH AH AH, GREAT, LOVE IT!

Not a big deal, but there is some truth in that choice or possibility; it’s not a debate like “straight actors/gay actors, because in straight porn you don’t see many gay porn stars , nor it’s about straights be banned to gay porn, because they are welcomed. But several porn actors state clearly they are “straight” which is a bit annoying, and personally, they turn me down. I know gay or porn videos are always an act, but good ones show also good “performances”, some passion, a real attraction to the partner/s, real enjoyment and pleasure about same sex love making. I find these ones much better, as I am aroused even when they have a passionate kiss. before, during and after their “action”.

What about those guys who do porn as alleged straight men, yet when the action starts there is no protestation of being straight, and bottoming even more enthusiastically than their top? Or it’s supposed to be a bunch of straight guys getting together where it turns into an orgy, and none of them are acting like they are totally straight, enthusiastically acting like c*ck-starved sluts with little or no encouragement by the others, I’m aware that there are some hetero men who like to suck someone off, or like to be anally probed, but come on. These guys are ridiculous.
JRamonMc
Listen, if you’re sucking a dick or taking it up the ass, pretty sure your qualified to be in a gay movie. Gay for pay is just a term people use to make themselves feel better about what they’re doing.
ShiningSex
gay for pay is just a tag. it’s just bi men doing porn. having their cake and eating it too. I don’t buy that straight men would be in so many gay films with being at least bi. lets stop the nonsense. be who you are but be honest.
stop baiting. it’s boring.
CityguyUSA
I’ve always heard the problem that gay actors can only get gay roles and opposite their str8 counterparts want the opportunities to play str8 men. I’d have to say that would require real acting from some gay males but soon, like sports, gay men will be playing str8 women and gay women playing str8 men. Some transexual men are already playing str8 male roles. Pardon my wording if I didn’t get my pronouns correct in that last sentence. As a gay male since birth you couldn’t pay me enough to go back to muffin munchin. But to each their own. I think they just want equallity without thinking what it would require from them.

I personally don’t see how someone can fake sexual attraction to the extent of performing hardcore porn.

If sexuality is fluid, exactly how do you…oh, never mind.
Ronbo
Get her! The pure are usually more inhibited and less fun.
Our community demands our acceptance because everyone is on a spectrum. Then when a non-sanctioned spectrum appears, we cry “foul”. My husband of 35 years is creeped out by the thought of female sex. But he asks others to accept his homosexuality – and no one is allowed a peep.
Live and let live.
Even straight guys like to get paid – even if it’s only a little fun for them.
IanHunter
A lot of Gay for Pay guys are hot. Usually they come out as gay later in life anyway.

My cable provider has a section that says adult.you can rent or buy full porn movies direct to your TV various categories straight, gay ,bi Trans, lesbian etc.full movies xxx explicit..you can buy just a scene too or there is one gay subscription. 24 titles per month for $19.99 month it’s Falcon
I’ve had it for about 3 or 4 years
They have about 20 guys they use over and over to where I skip through a performer I’ve seen hundreds of times already. Time to get rid of the.oldmodels and get some um. Fresh faces

DarthKitsune
I don’t have a problem with gay-for-pay guys, what I have a problem with is them going all toxic and claiming to have hated every second of it, how straight they are, how it was only for money, blah-blah-blah. I prefer to watch actual queer men doing gay stuff,. Watching straight men do gay stuff that they hate, just for cash, takes me out of my horny mood.
Terrycloth
A bunch of money would get me aroused enough to be with a women..you have to be bi curious or had done something male male to.consider it..I saw a broke straight boys when one boy leaned in to kiss the other and he freaked out grabbed his pants shoes and bolted out of there he said I can’t do this….he agreed to the money but couldn’t go through with it
