Dearest Adam,
I'm so sad and upset to hear that you are still getting grief in your life to the present day over your past filming here. It makes no sense for someone/anyone(!) to be on a mission of vengeance to try to make your personal life more difficult. I don't get it at all. But maybe I'm looking at it from the standpoint of a reasonable, at least fairly intelligent person. And just as you can't fix stupid, I've long ago since concluded that you can't fix ignorance either.
I just wish that people who go to extremes to out people or make their lives hell by trying to go after straight, gay for pay models...could be criminally prosecuted in some way. They have to be mentally ill to be able to justify this kind of behavior in their own minds and consciences. Fortunately there are certain jurisdictions, situations, places of employment, etc., where people who are doing things like this can be charged with sexual harassment. And also charged with creating a hostile work environment. If an opportunity presents itself in the military, or even the private sector, where you can identify the person responsible with proof for you to file a complaint of sexual harassment based the kinds of grief you're being given by someone...and you think the complaint has a reasonable chance of success in HR or the military equivalent of it...please DO! If you're uncertain of whether such a charge would hold up upon review, please don't hesitate to contact a lawyer who specializes in military law or civilian law and has strong knowledge of the employment regulations of the state, county, and even the city regulations on employment law, where you reside.
I'm so sorry that it seems like gay people are the ones who you've indicated have been some of the most unkind towards you. It makes me feel ashamed for my kind. Nobody should behave like this. At best, it's abhorrent and extremely immature and ignorant. At worst, it's criminal.
As far as intellectual honesty on these subjects, since that was the crux of where you were leading with your questions, I'll share a few thoughts of my own. Yes. It's true that many gay men will treat the subject of another guy's true sexuality as a subject up for conjecture and debate. Almost like a sport of sorts. Worthy of fun banter, discussion and perhaps sadly, maybe even a little bit of unsubstantiated gossip.
Here in the forum even many of us have gone back and forth over whether we believe a certain model's claim of being straight is accurate. Many times we find online evidence that a model's claim of living a hetero life outside the studio is bogus. The best I can sugarcoat this with is to say that most of the time in here, it's only intended as harmless fun and an opportunity to chat. It's never gone to a level of any hostile intent towards the person. I've never known of it to be taken to a level of leaving the confines of this forum and wanting to interfere with a model's personal life in a spiteful malicious way. That would never occur to me or to anyone else I know reasonably well in here. But yes. There is that tendency in the gay community to speculate with interest over male celebrities' true sexual orientations.
But having said that, I do reiterate that anyone (gay or straight) who tries to maliciously mess with someone's personal life over the issue of sexual orientation is mentally ill on some level and has plenty of serious issues. Nobody sane and well adjusted can or would condone that kind of behavior. And that includes those who cowardly hide behind religious upbringing as a justification.
