I think you're being somewhat unfair. Sure his essential message may be somewhat naively expressed, but he's not preaching hatred, predjudice, intolerance or self-pity.
Looking at his past of abandonment, violence, drugs and self-abuse I think it far better to commend the man for coming to terms with his demons and seeking to find a way to live the rest of his life with a measure of peace.
Papaleo talks with candour and a great deal of personal experience about the abusive industry of pornography; he's not being homophobic, or projecting self-loathing, merely stating a fact that for the performers it often becomes a soulless, exploitative and abusive arena.
What does impress me is his honesty, his candour and his attempt to be non-judgemental and interpret some pretty hostile passages in the bible in more equitable light. (I don't think he actually succeeded but at least he tried). And to tell a woman on a second date you used to be a steroid and coke addicted gay porn star takes balls.
Would you rather a news story about Tom Katt centered around the porn star OD'ing, dying, raping, incarceration etc
All I can say is fair play to him and one hopes he's happy, and who knows since homosexuality caused him such pain perhaps a heterosexual lifestyle is the right choice for him.
