This will wind up in the courts, and considering the state of legal affairs in this country, he will win. All he really has to say is that it is his religion to pound other men in the butt.

I saw the episode with this guy chatting about himself, and wondered when the ax was gonna fall. He's even a submariner, and talked about his first assignment (or as he put it: "I remember the first time I went down")

NY Daily News version of the story:

Boy meets boy meets unemployment. Michael Jason Tiner, a contestant on Bravo's gay dating reality show "Boy Meets Boy," didn't just lose his chance for love when he got booted off the show - he lost his job.

Navy man Tiner, 26, was an instructor at the Submarine Learning Center in San Diego.

"Someone from his command saw the promo for the television program and recognized him," a Navy spokesman told us. "The command asked him if he was on the program, and he confirmed that. He also volunteered that he was homosexual."

In accordance with the military's medieval "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, Seaman Tiner was promptly shown the gangway. Tiner told the gay magazine Southern Voice, "The reason I did the show is that I felt if anyone had a right to go on the show, then I did. ...[I] was comfortable enough with who I am and with my sexuality that I was ready to face the consequences." [Now that's thuper!]

Tiner - identified as "Jason" on the show - lost out in the first episode. Gay bachelor James, 32, will make his final decision on Sept. 2. link.
