Corey DeAngelis, a senior fellow at the conservative education nonprofit American Federation for Children, is alleged to have appeared in several gay adult films.

A school-privatization activist and frequent Fox News guest whose work has been praised by former President Donald Trump was placed on leave by his conservative nonprofit employer after reports that he had appeared in gay pornography videos surfaced.

Corey DeAngelis has been a senior fellow at the American Federation for Children, a conservative education nonprofit group founded by former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, since 2021 (DeVos’ website says she is the former chair of the organization, and the organization’s site does not mention her as being currently involved). Asked about DeAngelis and the adult film reports, Rebekah Bydlak, a spokesperson for the organization, said, “We have placed the employee on leave as we look into this matter further.” Bydlak declined to comment further.

Oh look, the "gays are pedos" shit was just more projection. Shocking.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There's nothing here saying he is a pedo.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

The fact that he was "put on leave" implies that the people who made that decision equategay porn with things like pedophilia. The organization is allegedly about protecting kids, and clearly they don't want gays near them... It's not difficult to put 2 and 2 together there.

It's one of the main ideals of these kinds of groups.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe. They also don't like gay people for themselves. But I don't see how this qualifies as projection unless he actually is a pedophile.

I'm just taking the next logical step given the evidence provided to me

His porn name was Seth Rose allegedly

gop voters will either call it "fake news," or just won't care

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Kinda hard to call it fake if they have video.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Hasn’t stopped them before. JD Vance straight-up admitted to lying about the cats and dogs thing and yet there they are, still supporting him.

[–] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 6 points 3 weeks ago

But it's probably just an AI hit job. /s

[–] Soup@lemmy.cafe 5 points 3 weeks ago

They will anyway. Remember the “grab them by the pussy” comment?

They STILL say he never said it.

[–] dumples@midwest.social 13 points 3 weeks ago

I want to live in a future where a little Porn doesn't stop anyone's future career. Let them do what they want.

conservative education nonprofit

There's an oxymoron if I ever saw one!

[–] d00ery@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

I'm a little torn here. It's not like he did something illegal, why's he being punished for it?

He's grifted, worked hard, now a research fellow ..

Edit: just to be clear I'm torn because I disagree with the work he does now, specifically school privatisation and praising Trump, having him suspended is win from that perspective!

[–] dumples@midwest.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

He should keep his job. Nothing wrong with a little Porn. It's sex negativity and homophobia all rolled up into one

[–] CaptainCancel@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

I think he got put on leave because he worked hard on camera.

[–] cmoney@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

That's just horrible! Where or how could someone even find these videos? Asking for a friend.
