The evolving story of the Greek Orthodox priest and the tire iron-wielding Marine keeps getting more interesting, including the news that the Marine was a model for AllAmericanGuys.com. And nowhere are the theories more interesting than in the gay blogosphere, where questions are being raised about what exactly happened in that there parking garage.

To recap: Marine reservist Jasen Bruce, approached for directions on Monday night by a Greek Orthodox priest in a Channelside condo garage, beat the priest with a tire iron and chased him three blocks. Bruce first said that he'd assumed the priest was a terrorist. (Father Alexios Marakis, who is studying in the U.S., speaks little English and has a beard.) Bruce also claimed Marakis shouted "Allahu Akbar!" — a neat trick, since the priest does not speak Arabic. Then the Marine added a new detail: he said Marakis had grabbed at his naughty bits, which, of course, just screams for a tire-iron response.

Fox 13 revealed Bruce's modeling sideline last night. The website, which is devoted to hunky young men wearing little or no clothing, is not a gay site per se; as Alex Pickett reported in Creative Loafing in 2006, the owner of the site says that its audience, and its models, are largely heterosexual. But the pics are pretty damn homo-erotic just the same. And the gayosphere has seized on this additional information with relish — postulating gay-for-pay and/or gay panic — and they've added links so that interested parties can see just how, um, All American, this guy really is. Video and a typical pic after the break.
