Yes. I have no idea if Granda comes from an especially wealthy family. Based on basic averages, my guess would be no. So an especially good looking young man who lives in South Florida, was hired at the Fountainebleau Hotel at an even 20 years old based partly on the fact that he looked great in a swimsuit or skimpy uniform...is no stranger to dudes flirting with him and hitting on him. I'm not calling Granda a hustler. I don't think he was or is. But when you're young, beautiful and broke, you will usually make some compromises (at least once in a while) to get some extra cash that will help make your life easier and more comfortable. I'm sure rich dudes (and not just women) staying at that ritzy hotel, offered him huge tips (or promises of future large sums) in hopes of getting more than just good customer service poolside. That helps turn a young guy pretty worldly and wise fairly quickly.
So by the time he met the Falwells he was probably not a dewy-eyed innocent when it came to being offered a chance to hop in bed with a very wealthy married couple. Rather than the Falwells doing something absolutely shocking and unusual by propositioning the young hot pool boy of the hotel who's younger than some of their own kids...for the staff of such a hotel that's probably what they call a typical Friday afternoon. haha
The fact that Granda now works in and probably lives in South Beach means he is probably either bi or very gay friendly. You can assume he has been and gets prepositioned by his hostel guests left, right, center, and thrice on Sundays. haha All this to say again that I think he also had intimate sexual relations with both Falwells. And not just the Mrs.
I've read a couple other articles that seem to indicate that one of Falwell's married sons (close to Granda's age) is also a part owner of this gay friendly hostel in South Beach. I don't know what to make of that. The whole purchase of this property by a family that's revered as a paragon of Christian virtue and anti-homosexual ideology, is just very strange. On a positive side I guess, maybe they're not as anti-LGBT as they've led the country to believe.
