Gay porn model sacked from Subway store

22-year-old Kurt Wild from St Louis, Missouri, a gay porn model, was working in a Subway sandwich bar until a costumer recognised him from his and complained. When the customer threatened to boycott the store, the Subway manager fired Wild.

Wild explained: "A customer said they wouldn't even eat there at Subway anymore because of my past work and said that if I wasn't fired then they would boycott the store. Maybe I should take a stand and boycott their store too if they can't let people's privacy be treated right. I should have the right to work anywhere I can and it isn't right or fair that people can keep me from working simply because of a "gay" issue. If a girl did what we do it would probably be ok.. and if a guy does straight porn.. he is bragged about. When I do gay porn, I feel a bit lynched for the rest of my life."

US gay website AfterElton.com also reported the story, which it said raised several questions. "How on Earth did this customer, who apparently isn't a fan of gay porn given his or her response, know that Wild was in gay porn in the first place?" wrote gay blogger Brian Juergens. "And how does having a documented history of being sexually active make you unfit to serve sandwiches? I guess they should fire all of the employees that have children as well?"

What do you make of the story? Do you understand the customer's or manager's reaction? What would you have done?

    • I saw a video on this today...i dunno if anyone else has mention this. But I would feel like a kick ass customer to have my sandwich serve to me by a pornstar. Just saying. Like If it was Jenna Jameson behind the counter...I'd buy two subs and even stay in the store to eat them asking for frequent napkins. I bet you this person who did this was just pissed because Kurt wasn't tappin them. I'll just call you out now

    • I don't think you could recognize a relatively unknown gay pornstar unless you watched gay porn, like a lot of gay porn....As a former porn actress, I hope i never have to work for minimum wage making Subway sandwiches, but if I chose to, I hope i would never be fired for my previous occupation. It's sad that we all have sex and America loves porn, but if you act in it, male, female, gay or straight, you can be stigmatized for life and lose a job or even a career because of it! Maybe more of us should act in porn, so that less of us will be stigmatized!

    • The manager should have told the customer to take his business elsewhere. If I owned a business and anyone told me to fire an employee of mine who was doing his job perfectly well, I'd tell that person to f*** off.

      Hey RCS, Ive said it before, and Ill say it again. Its a lot harder to find a good employee than it is to find a shit customer. Which would you rather have. And which would the other customers rather have? Thats a no brainer!

    • He may have been afraid the guy slipped him some "special sauce" on his hoagie!!!! And as i true fan he lapped it up, it was sour and he got mad. He'll probably sue next because he was traumatized by his experience now. Gimmie on break on this one!!!

    • OK what's next? I saw her on losing weight at the fat farm so i'm appalled that she's allow to work at the weight loss clinic. Or he was a backstabbing coward and now he's the president---let's impeach him!! gimme a break. This is so stupid and the company is stupid too because if this is what we've come to the people all ove the country will be fired for other past deeds or occupations now wont they. DUM DUM DUM And the guu that pointed him out probably was turned on or titilated and coulndt handle it.

    • Why would it make any difference if the person making your subway was previously a porn star? Does being in porn make your hands filthy for life? I am pretty sure he probably washed them and even had on gloves.... Although I am pretty sure that is not the point.
      I bet there a lot of people in our lives who do things that you have no idea about - and then they make you a cup of tea.

      Being in porn (any kind) should not mean that you cannot make sandwiches in your spare time, or work in a clothes store, or be a Manager of a large firm.
      If this story is true - it is sad that the customer thought he had the right to say anything and a disgrace that the Company fired him.

    • If the fast food outlet was franchised by queers for queers, there shouldn`t be a problem. The public would be in no doubt of the sexuality of those who run it. Conversely, queers would be more comfortable in their own association. It would then be a matter of clear choice by the public. Health issues and the like.

    • This is too funny. I'd be more interested in how he reported him to the manager.

      He recognised him, what was he making the sandwich with?

    • Questions:
      1. How did the Customer recognize this Guy?
      2. What really happen in the conversation between them?

      To be honest, I want a Sandwich and I consider this has to be really clean. I would NOT like to get a Sandwich from a Porn Star either. The reality is that the impression is really important. But then it triggers the question:
      Where these pre-boxed Sandwiches or hand made by this Pornographer?

      While many large companies do have moonlighting clauses, Subways are franchised so it would be up to the individual store to establish this clause. Most retail and customer service jobs though are pretty lienient with moonlighting. Ive known plenty of people that have worked for a McDonalds or Subway type place and held down other freelance jobs (including modeling). Hell there was a Women of McDonalds shoot in Playboy!

      Now if he was wearing a Subway uniform in his shoot or referenced Subway, then I could see that as cause for discharge. But without this or a prewritten clause by the individual store, they have no grounds for firing.

      And I agree...the fact that the customer reconized him and felt the need to complain is incredibly hilarious.

      Just because you do porn it doesnt mean you dont deserve the same right to privacy that everyone else does. Should he have been fired if he was posing for Sears or GQ?

      wow so having sex is animalistic behavior? well then I sure hope people quit that dirty filthy habit so we can have a pure and clean world.

      I've known people who have done porn and they have more self respect and manners than most people you find in church or office. You are allowed to dissapprove of someone who does porn, but bottom line is that a good person is a good person and they deserve respect even if you dont approve of their lifestyle choices. In my opinion, any decent civilized person will respect someone even if they dont approve of their sexual actions, its called being mature.

      I did not say "Having sex is animalistic".

      You are twisting my words

      Porn movies are people faking love for money and much more.......Animalistic is the right word.

      Between spending time in most churches or spending time at a porn convention, my choice is clear.

      It does not mean that I would not show respect to anyone. We have all failed in some way or another in our life. Judging a behavior is not the same as judging another human being.

      I try not to judge book by it cover. Your generalization
      on Xstians being bad people is unfortunate.

    • wow Kurt Wild?! is that his real name or porn name?!

      sorry in all seriousness that is majorly f-d up

      also Id wouldve loved to have been there when the customer complained...

      Customer -"Your worker is a heathen of a slut! He appears nude in gay pornographic magazines! How DARE you employ this filth!"

      Manager- "I understand your complaint sir, so just how did you come to find out that he appeared in this magazine."

      Customer- "uh well i uh ummmmm....nevermind! Im boycotting!"

      Its sad that our country is so anti homosexuality that we have spawned countless closet homosexuals how are so ashamed that they are aggressively homophobic. I live above a gay porn shop (and i love it) and i always see guys hurrying in and out with a look of guilt and shame on their face...then looking down upon a gay couple holding hands walking down the street. embrace your sexuality!

    • So the guy who outed him was happy enough to watch him in his video's (how else would he have recognised him?) But not happy to be served by him in a fast food outlet?? What was he afraid of?? His wife finding out he wacked off to gay porn ;-)

      Considering the US is supposed to be the Land of The Free, come on!!! Where was Subway for not protecting the rights of the employee??

      I for one, will certainly not use Subway until there is resolution of this issue, have they considered the effect of this upon their sales?? I would rather be served by someone who can do a good job than someone who is an all singing all dancing hetro but crap at their job.

      It was not so long ago that the US subscribed to Blacks riding different transport, using different facilities etc, just how far have things moved on???

    • Haha, pornstar made the customer a 12 inch at home and a six inch at subway. Maybe maybe the customer felt he was getting jipped.

      It goes to show, Porn doesn't pay... enough...

    • So the guy knew his face and he was prepared to watch him in porn, but he wasn't prepared to let him make a sandwich? That's shocking, and completely contradictory. Oh, you're good enough to make me come but not good enough to make me a foot-long? Ridiculous. The company should have had the guts to stand up for their employee.
