Grove City College Student Suspended for Gay Porn Role

I am sorry that John Gechter - a student at far right Christianist Grove City College - pictured at left in the photo has been suspended for a year for having acted in gay porn movies, thereby exhibiting "behavior contrary to the values" of the College. Gecther says he used his porn income to pay Grove City's high tuition costs. Nonetheless, it's rather humorous since Grove City College is the home of Prof. Warren Throckmorton who until recently was one of the high priests (or maybe priestesses) of the choice myth and formerly traveled around the country claiming that sexual orientation can be changed. Throckmorton has backed down a lot of late - perhaps out of fear he will lose his license if the APA comes out 100% against reparative therapy. Slog has more details on the story and also speculates on the high incidence of closet cases at Christian colleges:

What are the odds that a lot of closeted gay kids go to Christian colleges? High, I'd say. And what are the odds that lots of closeted gay kids at Christian colleges—and their closeted profs, closeted staffers, closeted youth pastors, et al—download and watch a whole lot of gay porn? Also high. So what are the odds that a student at a Christian college who appears in gay porn under a pseudonym is gonna get caught? Higher still, as it turns out.

Twenty-two-year-old John Gechter, of Philadelphia, was suspended for one year pending appeal from Grove City College after a student saw him last month in a video posted online.

Gechter is appealing the suspension and says he may sue claiming that the gay porn job isn't any of the school's business, especially since he performed using the name "Vincent DeSalvo." Gechter says he used his porn income to pay for his schooling. School officials say Gechter is suspended because Gechter was well aware his porn involvement "exhibited behavior contrary to the values" of the school about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh.

I once had a gay friend who formerly lived in Lynchburg, Virginia, home of Jerry Falwell's Liberty University who used to remark all the time that most of the men on gay.com in that area were either (i) married men looking for gay sex or (ii) Liberty University boys looking for hook ups. Thus, John Gecther was likely only one of many Grove City boys into gay sex. Also, who was the Grove City student who was looking at the porn who rated out Gecther?
