Gay porn star fired from Subway in Missouri

Customer recognized actor, threatened to boycott restaurant

A 22-year old Subway restaurant worker in Missouri was fired after a customer recognized him from gay porn and complained.

Kurt Wild, who has appeared in several gay porn movies, worked at one of the sandwich chain's outlets near St. Louis.

A customer recognized him and threatened to boycott Subway because of Wild's theatrical work.

"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," wrote Wild in an e-mail to BGay.com.

In 2006, a Subway restaurant owner settled out of court after admitting he fired an employee because he was HIV positive.

Subway has nearly 30,000 franchises in 87 countries and is the fastest growing franchise in the world.
