Anti-LGBTQ+ group fires activist after he admits appearing in gay adult video
nvolvement in Adult Videos Sparks Controversy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corey DeAngelis, a prominent figure in the school choice movement, has been dismissed from his senior fellowship at the American Federation for Children (AFC), following revelations that he appeared in gay adult videos. In an interview, DeAngelis admitted to having performed under the alias “Seth Rose” on the website GayHoopla, a platform for gay adult content. He stated he believed at the time that he was participating in “fitness” videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An AFC spokesperson confirmed DeAngelis\u2019 departure, stating, \u201cCorey is no longer at AFC. We wish him well in his next endeavors, and we remain focused on expanding educational opportunities for families, especially those with lower incomes.\u201d DeAngelis had been a key advocate for the organization’s school choice initiatives and authored The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools<\/em>, a book endorsed by former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The videos in question, which date back to around 2014, featured DeAngelis in various explicit scenes. One of the videos was titled \u201cJerk-Off Race,\u201d while another was a compilation named \u201cSuper Star Compilation! How Many Strokes Til You Cum?!\u201d GayHoopla described DeAngelis, or “Seth Rose,” as a \u201chot otter,\u201d a term used within the gay community to describe a specific body type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeAngelis had previously referred to these videos as mistakes from his past, stating that he was misled and influenced into making poor decisions. In a more recent interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, he elaborated on the situation, admitting to his involvement but expressing regret. \u201cThere are images and videos circulating of me from my college days about a decade ago that I\u2019m not proud of. They\u2019re embarrassing,\u201d he said, attributing the resurfacing of these videos to a political attack from his opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He also claimed that he was deceived by the producers into believing he was participating in fitness-related content, a far cry from the adult material that was released. DeAngelis used this experience to push back against what he perceives as the exposure of children to inappropriate content in schools, a key concern of his advocacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lea tambi\u00e9n : <\/strong>U.S. Activist Allegedly Received $300K from Russia to Support Anti-LGBTQ+ Laws in Africa<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n A vocal critic of the public school system, DeAngelis has argued for directing taxpayer money toward private, for-profit schools. He has long been aligned with Christian conservative efforts, advocating for schools that can reject students without adhering to federal non-discrimination policies. These schools are often free from government oversight, allowing them to bypass regulations regarding LGBTQ+ and diversity issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeAngelis has also contributed to the Heritage Foundation\u2019s Project 2025<\/em>, a political blueprint for Donald Trump\u2019s potential re-election. The plan includes proposals to eliminate the Department of Education and remove references to sexual orientation, gender identity, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from federal policies. Critics argue that such measures would undermine efforts to address the needs of marginalized communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout his career, DeAngelis has criticized public schools for promoting LGBTQ+ inclusion. He told Fox News that public schools focus \u201cmore on the LGBTs than the ABCs,\u201d echoing a right-wing argument that addressing LGBTQ+ issues negatively impacts educational quality. He has also claimed that the “radical left\u2019s 2024 weekly lesson plan” for students includes mandates like \u201cpronoun recognition,\u201d \u201cdrag queen story hour,\u201d and allowing \u201cboys to participate in girls’ sports,\u201d fueling his opposition to progressive education policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeAngelis\u2019 dismissal from the AFC, combined with his controversial past, has sparked further debate over the intersection of personal conduct, political advocacy, and educational policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSchool choice defeats the woke mind virus,\u201d he wrote. However, despite his zeal, AFC scrubbed his biography page and past articles entirely from its website shortly after news of his adult video appearance made headlines<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeAngelis has maintained his position as an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute and a senior fellow at the libertarian Reason Foundation, where he is a senior fellow, The Advocate<\/a> <\/em>reported. He has vowed to continue his anti-LGBTQ+ activism.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBackground on DeAngelis\u2019 Adult Film Appearances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
