Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign — along with the conservative objectives outlined in Project 2025 — included "promises" (read: threats) like limiting gender-affirming care for trans people, restraining access to pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention (PrEP) medication, banning porn/adult films, restricting abortion even further following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and relentlessly advocating for mass deportation of U.S. immigrants, to name a few.
According to an exit poll published by NBC News, 86 percent of voters who identified as gay, lesbian, bisexual, and/or trans voted for Kamala Harris to become the next president of the United States — which isn't a surprising statistic given how concerning Trump's platform was for the LGBTQ+ community.
On the other hand, Trump's reelection did expose an unexpected phenomenon within our community: several gay adult film stars who identified themselves as Trump supporters during his presidential run and felt even more emboldened to publicly spew conservative rhetoric after he won the 2024 election — despite the fact that most of their audience consists of queer men.

Before delving into the list of gay adult film stars who have identified themselves as pro-Trump conservatives, we should acknowledge society's deeply rooted prejudice against performers in the porn industry (regardless of sexual orientation).
Several gay adult film stars have very recognizable names and faces within the LGBTQ+ community — some of them reaching hundreds of thousands of followers across social networks and user-generated content platforms.
This means that even if you, specifically you, don't consume any gay porn and are not familiar with these performers, they still have massive followings on social media and run pages on sites like OnlyFans and JustForFans that are mostly patronized by queer men. For the record, freedom of speech does allow these performers to express their conservative points of view, and it is up to their subscribers to decide whether they'll continue to support them.
However, one cannot deny that gay adult film stars have a huge reach in the LGBTQ+ community, an audience that mostly consists of queer men, and a massive online presence overall — which is why their choice to publicly share their pro-Trump political perspectives is being so intensely discussed after the 2024 election results.

On November 5, Out's sister publication PRIDE reported on X posts shared by gay adult film star Devin Franco where he identified himself as a Trump supporter. For context, Franco reaches 492,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter).
This all started when Franco responded to an X post from a "gay guy who's left the left" and was "voting for Donald Trump."
Franco replied, "100% agree."
As his followers responded with criticism, Franco clapped back and doubled down on his support for Trump.

Another standout X post shared by Franco reads:
"Project 2025 was created by a think tank that doesn't have any power in government. The only people talking about it are liberals using it as fear mongering propaganda. If you think project 2025 is real you're [r word]. I know you think I am, but I'm not gonna stand down to a mean girl like you."

Franco subsequently shared a statement to The Post Millennial, a publication that describes itself as a "conservative news outlet." The adult film star wrote:
"I was tired of the censorship, cancel culture, and manipulative emotional coercion of the left. Now the [Democratic] machine has turned on me, all because we have a different opinion than they do. I knew there would be some blowback, and I thought I would mostly just get mean comments. People are being told not to work with me, and if they do, they will probably get treated the same way. But I will always stand my ground for what I believe in even if that costs me my job. I'm not worried about how I'm gonna make money, I'm a smart guy. But the direction this country was going was scaring me."

On Monday, November 11, an X fan page wrote:
"Advice from someone whose been an openly GAY Trump Supporter for 4 years, the more THEY b*tch the more money you make. There is no greater promotion than a butt hurt liberal queen who's on a mission to tell the whole world bout you. Nothing hotter than the forbidden fruit!"
Franco replied via X, " Haha I am starting to learn that. We need to support each other."

A gay adult film star known as Big C has also been sharing his pro-Trump stances and conservative viewpoints across social media. Big C's X page, as of this writing, has 329,000 followers.
In an X video shared Wednesday, Big C can be seen and heard saying the n word several times while having sex with a Black man, writing in the caption:
"My Fans like the Trump theme so this WIN is good for my brand lmao."
X (@BigCMen)
Earlier that day, Big C had already shared an X picture of himself holding a Trump 2024 hat and shows a television playing in the background with the 2024 election results. "Scene unfolding, boy on the way! [U.S. flag emoji]," Big C wrote in the caption.
One of the replies to Big C's X post reads:
"You Owe it to us as the only Andro-American Alpha brave enough to do it: TO make the next 4 years entirely dedicated to creating Maga Hat Wearing Pure White Boy RacePlay Truth Speaking Porn for the entire world to see bro! MAGA!!! WE'RE BACK BABY!!!"
X (@BigCMen)
While the aforementioned X video was associated with the election results, this wasn't the first time that Big C posted a video having sex with a Black man and repeatedly calling him an n word.
Earlier this year, on July 16, another X video showed the same dynamics and language between Big C and an unidentified Black man.
On Thursday, Big C shared an X picture of him topping a Black man in front of a television that displayed Donald Trump winning the state of Pennsylvania over Kamala Harris.
Big C labeled this content as "RP [raceplay] vids" and directed his followers to visit his official website.

Instagram (@arad.winwin)On Friday, Out published an article on gay adult film star Arad Winwin congratulating Trump for winning the election as well as the many months of him sharing Instagram stories criticizing Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Michelle Obama, and Oprah Winfrey to show his support for Trump.
Winwin has over 507,000 followers on Instagram as of this writing.
Instagram (@arad.winwin)Winwin reshared posts via Instagram stories that equated they/them pronouns to "mental illness" and seemingly questioned Harris's ethnicity.

When Out spoke to Winwin via DMs, the gay adult film star dismissed concerns about other immigrants (despite Winwin himself having been an immigrant to the U.S.), restated his conservative viewpoints, and criticized the LGBTQ+ community as a whole — exclaiming that he was an "old-school gay" who liked "manly men" as some sort of argument or justification.
You can read Out's full story on Arad Winwin for even more context.
Alex Grant, who reached 800,000 followers on X/Twitter, has also been resharing several posts that can be interpreted as pro-Trump.
Examples include re-sharing X posts from @MsBlaireWhite writing that she isn't voting for Kamala Harris because she is "not [r word]" and from @Provokatov writing, "Just thinking about the time Trump was president for four years back in 2016-2020 and nobody had their rights taken away."
To be clear, the latter statement is objectively inaccurate. While in office, Trump banned trans people from serving in the military (via The Advocate). Trump has also bragged of appointing conservative judges to the U.S. Supreme Court who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, eliminating the long-standing federal right for everyone to make a decision for themselves in regard to abortion and allowing states to ban or severely restrict the procedure.

Grant also reshared an X post from user @petitteaton claiming that "the normal gays need a clean break from the TQ+ madness."

On Instagram, Grant has also shared a photo of him and Douglas Murray — a gay, conservative pundit from the U.K. who's written books including Neoconservatism: Why We Need It (2005), The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam (2017), The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity (2019), and The War on the West (2022).
Grant wrote on his Instagram post with Murray, "Worthy of its own post. Always a pleasure to see Douglas Murray, one of the most intelligent and important voices of our time. #savethewest."
Arad Winwin doesn't appear to have an active/public X account. However, three of the four aforementioned gay adult film stars — Devin Franco, Big C, and Alex Grant — have maintained verified X profiles.
