I am the General Manager for a hotel in Orlando, Florida. The hotel I manage has 1,500 rooms. On a normal day, our TV’s probably sell 30 – 40 gay porn titles per night. On gay pride, that number goes up a tad, to something like 60 – 70 per night. But when the Christian Conventions are in town, that number triples, sometimes even 6x the number goes up. Why do think that is?
I myself tried to deny, repress and stuff down my affections for guys for, oh, 27 years.
During that long, lonely time, if I had been at a Christian convention in a hotel in a large city, I might have found myself sorely tempted to view some gay porn.
I don’t find what you say unusual in the least.
Just because a gay guy is Christian, and mistakenly hounded by a sense of guilt for being gay, doesn’t mean he is not human.
After going into clinical depression, I was forced to come to terms with my sexuality and admit to myself that guys give me energy, life and joy.
Now I am proud to be a gay Christian, and my church body is gay-friendly too.
But meanwhile, so many, many men are absolutely tormented by their yearning to be with another guy. Even though they honestly think it is a sin, they can never get away from the truth of their feelings and longings.
Those guys who buy the gay porn would be so much happier if they just found a great boyfriend to spend the night with during that convention. I hope that, in time, more and more churches will realize that there is nothing wrong with that.

Christains are repressed sexually. And the anonymity at being in another city provides that escape.

Because they are hypocrites…..and do things on the down low so no one can criticize them for contradicting themselves, by that I mean their homophobic ways……which I can assure you most of them are, but still they want to condemn someone to hell for being themselves.

That is some interesting data. if that’s true you should share that with The Advocate or OUT Magazine.

Hypocrisy will serve as well
to propagate a church as zeal.
So round white stones will serve, they say
as well as eggs, to make hens lay.
If you can believe or pretend to believe the stuff that christians say then you surely can understand how hypocrisy is easier and more natural for them than it is for the rest of us.
Just think for a bit about Roman Catholic priests.

B/c they(Sum Christians) are in the closet. But when gay pride comes gays don’t really need that, they live life normal and gay porn is not really a big deal for them. Especially, during gay pride they got other things on the mind like participating in pride day and just having a lot of fun.

As a Concierge in a major Downtown Boston Hotel, it didn’t take me long to answer the question as to where the action was. Boys or girls.
