Heres proof that Kevin Jennings was certainly aware that his organization, GLSEN, recommended porn books for teens. He had recommended them himself in his 1994 high school reader "Becoming Visible" (published by porn publisher Alyson Books). On p. 278 in his Questions/Activities section for Chapter 17, he wrote:

Other resources for reading are Bennett Singers "Growing Up Gay", Ann Herons "One Teenager in Ten: Writings by Gay and Lesbian Youth", Aaron Fricks "Reflections of a Rock Lobster: A Story of Growing Up Gay", and Paul Monettes "Becoming a Man".

These questionable books (havent looked at the films yet ) have been described by Linda Harvey in 2002, NARTH (late 1990s), and more recently at Gateway Pundit/BigGovernment.com (Dec. 2009).
Also in his introduction to Chapter 17, Gay and Lesbian Youth: Voices from the Next Generation, Jennings regurgitates some of the points he made in his 1993 report to the Governors Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth in Massachusetts. Sadly, that report is no longer available online or from the current Commission office but MassResistance will soon be publishing a PDF of the original document.
