Wed Sep 25 00:33:14 UTC 2024: ## Conservative Activist Placed on Leave After Gay Porn Videos Surface
Corey DeAngelis, a prominent conservative education activist and frequent Fox News guest, has been placed on leave by his employer, the American Federation for Children, after reports of his appearance in gay pornography videos emerged. DeAngelis, known for his advocacy of school privatization and criticism of LGBTQ+ topics in schools, has gained a large following within conservative circles, even receiving praise from former President Donald Trump.
DeAngelis, who has a Ph.D. from the University of Arkansas, has been a senior fellow at the American Federation for Children since 2021. The organization, founded by former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, confirmed that DeAngelis is on leave while they investigate the matter.
The videos, which feature a man resembling DeAngelis performing under the name “Seth Rose,” were first reported by the blog Str8 Up Gay Porn. They depict “Seth Rose” engaging in solo masturbation or alongside other men, with no sexual contact between performers.
The revelation has sparked controversy, especially considering DeAngelis’ outspoken stance against LGBTQ+ issues in schools. In the past, he has criticized the inclusion of LGBTQ+ topics in school curriculum and condemned events celebrating LGBTQ+ figures. He has also appeared on Fox News to express his opposition to policies that support LGBTQ+ students.
DeAngelis’ book, “The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids From the Radicals Ruining Our Schools,” which criticizes public schools and promotes school choice, has been praised by both Trump and Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance.
DeAngelis has not publicly commented on the allegations, and his social media presence has been inactive since Thursday. His landing page at the American Federation for Children has also been removed.
The incident raises questions about the credibility of DeAngelis’ public persona and the implications for his conservative activism. It remains to be seen how this development will impact his future work and public image.
