It looks like most people - strangest of all yourself - missed the very first thing, which is, you are a product guy. It doesn't matter whether it's porn or children's books, the product you pick will likely "kill" opportunities in any unrelated space. By definition, people hire product guys for their knowledge of the product so if you are thinking in terms of your career, you will want to pick something you want to do long-term.

It sounds like you don't want to work in gay dating for the rest of your life. So why invest a chunk of your time getting to know the space?

As far as "HR girls" (how fifties of you...) I would expect them to avoid anything that would appear as though they are discriminating based on your sexual orientation, especially since the background check is normally only done on people already pegged as a hire.
