Toby Keith is perfectly fine with Thomas Jane’s gay hustling

BY ROB SALERNO – Country music star Toby Keith has come out in support of gay marriage in the US. In an interview with Country Music Television, Keith explains, “That whole gay issue thing, that’s never bothered me.”

But when it comes to gays in the military, Keith hemmed and hawed a bit before finally telling the world, “as long as females and the gays and the soldiers are all killers and ready to fight people off… get ’em!”

Well, *phew*.

Meanwhile, Hung star Thomas Jane, fresh off a controversy where he (jokingly) threatened to quit the show (in which he plays a male prostitute with an enormous penis) if the writers ever gave him a scene where he has to suck a dick for money, explained that he used to do just that as a struggling young actor.

“When I was a kid out here in LA, I was homeless. I didn’t have any money and I was living in my car,” Jane told the LA Times. “I wasn’t averse to going down to Santa Monica Blvd and letting a guy buy me a sandwich. Know what I mean?”

He means he would sell sex to gay dudes for food.

Unfortunately, it seems his asking price has risen.

Still, Jane says that having sexual experiences with men as well as women helped him appreciate sex all the more.

“Until you’ve tasted the food, you don’t know whether you’ll like it or not, as my mom always said,” Jane said. Which, if my mom ever said that, might’ve just ruined sex for me altogether.

Anyway, Toby Keith should have no problem with Thomas Jane in the military. After all, he was the Punisher.

Finally, there’s this. I don’t know the origins of it. I don’t really want to know the origins of it. Let’s just admire the non sequitur.
