School Voucher Advocate Corey DeAngelis Admits Participating In Gay Porn Videos

School voucher evangelist and anti-LBTQ+ activist Corey DeAngelis has acknowledged that he participated in gay porn videos.

In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, DeAngelis admitted he participated in a masturbation contest video alongside other men, more than a week after the news became viral.

“There are images and videos circulating of me from my college days about a decade ago that I’m not proud of,” he said.

In the interview, he blamed the left for trying to cancel him. However, according to The 74, the finding of DeAngelis participating in gay porn was first shared in a far-right site in Substack named Current Revolt.

The post was first made by Sarah Fields, who runs The Texas Freedom Coalition, described as a network of “patriots” who view vouchers as another form of government control.

“School choice isn’t merely a lucrative scam; it’s a cunning ploy to enable government oversight of all educational avenues through a web of regulations and accountability tied to public funding,” Fields wrote a July post about DeAngelis.

After the news went viral on social media, DeAngelis was fired from the American Federation for Children, a conservative advocacy group for school vouchers founded by former U.S. secretary of education Betsy DeVos. He also was unlisted from the Hoover Institution, a Stanford University think tank. The 74 also reported that the Cato Institute and the Reason Foundation also changed his profiles.

In the interview, he said he was lured by the industry to participate in porn videos when he became a fitness model.

“If I was able to be lured in to make bad decisions as a young adult in college, just imagine how much worse it could be for younger people,” he said. He added that the experience is what drives his fight against public education. 

“So I fought against this kind of material being included in the classroom,” he said. However, Baptist News noted that there is no evidence of gay porn being included in any public classroom in the U.S.

DeAngelis is also listed as a “contributor” to the controversial Project 2025 and, when he worked for the AFC he worked closely with Gov. Greg Abbott and pro-voucher candidates to oust Republican incumbents that voted against the measure.
