Biography
Before coming to Columbia
Sanchez was born to Puerto Rican parents in California. He was raised in Bay Area in San Jose. An autodidact, Sanchez taught himself Spanish, French and German and while traveling and living in several foreign countries. It was during this period of exposure to different cultures that Mr. Sanchez learned to appreciate the United States even more.
In the early to mid-1990s, Sanchez worked as a gay porn star. First, in 1993, he used the name Pierre LaBranche while working for Kristen Bjorn and William Duffault. In 1994, he moved to San Francisco and changed his name to the more American-sounding Rod Majors.
Furthermore, Matt Sanchez is alleged to have worked as a male escort. He is thought to have worked in 4 major US cities, charging $300-$350 per session.
Sanchez is currently a student at Columbia in the School of General Studies Class of 2007.
Military Bias On Columbia University Campus
Sanchez first became well known on campus for complaining to anyone who would listen about how he was taunted by Columbia leftists for being a minority in the military. He also claimed that the military is an underrepresented minority on campus. His media career started with an interview in the Columbia Spectator. After this he appeared on several Fox News television programs, including The O'Reilly Factor and Hannity & Colmes.
Gay porn star revelation
Sanchez attended the 2007 Conservative Political Action Conference where Ann Coulter made her infamous "faggot" insult about John Edwards. He received the Jeane Kirkpatrick Academic Freedom Award and was photographed with Coulter. A bunch of gay bloggers (such as Joe. My. God) recognized him as the former gay porn star by the name of Rod Majors, as described above. The story was rapidly seized upon by blogs like The Bwog and Gawker, and has since been covered by several major news organizations. It has also been alleged that he was an escort, again, as described above.
Presumably he didn't write about these experiences in his application essay.
