What's the meaning

when he says he holds a protection detail?

Basically the OP has a crush on his straight friend for a long time and he's asking whether or how he should tell him.

and here are two of the comments from other posters:

Larry Legend: "this goes against one of the most common things I have heard gay people say, that they are NOT attracted to straight people, and they are only interested in other gay people. So in the end I think this is a troll 80%. Since he was your friend and maybe you realized you were gay during the friendship it may have been a proximity thing or something, but in general I am doubtful."


DblBarrelJ: "I agree with this statement. I hold a protection detail for several television personalities who currently hold contracts with a large television company which broadcasts to the GLBT community so I spend more time around gays than a cosmetology instructor and I've never had any of the people that I work for show any sexual interest in me at all."


Thanks a million!

Jin_Hwhen he says he holds a protection detail?
He has a business that helps actors and actresses manage the details of being filmed for television - it might be details for the location, scheduling, or perhaps their appearance (costume and make-up).

Oops, sorry, I misread it as production, not protection.

Protection detail is a personal guard service, like Clive said.
