A straight man who performs homosexual acts for money. Usually said of a gay-pornography actor, it also applies to straight guys who dance at gay strip clubs, do photo shoots for gay-themed erotic publications, act in gay romantic scenes in non-pornographic films or television, or hire themselves out as gay escorts.

Gay For Pay
heterosexual man who exploits society's demonization of homosexuality by preying on self-loathing homosexuals whom he sells sexual favours to and often assaults
Gay-for-pay is the slang term accorded to male (and sometimes but less frequently female) pornographic actors or prostitutes who identify as heterosexual but perform homosexual acts professionally.
A term coined by gay activist and author Wayne Besen to bring attention to the trend that those who profess to have been "cured" of their homosexuality often make their livelihood doing so. Once an individual has built a livelihood around claiming they've gone from gay to straight, should that person ever come to the realization they infact have NOT changed, they are far less likely to admit it for financial reasons.
Most major ex-gay organizations are headed by individuals who often make wild claims about going from totally gay to totally straight while lower ranked employees tend to profess less dramatic stories.
John Paulk who served on Focus On The Family'sboard of directors and appeared on the cover of Newsweek was very much ex-gay for pay until he was caught in a gay bar in Washington DC.
