READ TIME: 2 MIN.
A gay porn actor says he is donating $150 for every scene he performs in to the Gay-Straight Alliance Network, according to the gay porn news site Queer Me Now (extremely NSWF).
At the an porn industry trade show in Phoenix Forum over the weekend, adult actor Markie More announced he will give part of his salary to the organization.
"I've always felt a calling to help people especially those who can't necessarily help themselves," he said, according to Queer Me Now. "As the years have gone by this feeling within me has become increasingly stronger."
He said taking some time off from the porn industry helped him make his decision.
"I felt as though I wasn't doing enough and I needed to leave the industry to make it happen. It wasn't until I took some time to myself and reflect, that I realized I don't need to leave," More said. "This is the very industry that changed my life for the better in so many ways."
"Being comfortable with who I am, my sexuality, my confidence. It's helped me grow in ways I wouldn't have imagined," he added. "I realized I can still fulfill this calling and while continuing in the industry."
After announcing he'll be donating money to the Gay-Straight Alliance Network, More revealed gay porn studio Next Door also offered to donate an additional $100 for every scene he shoots.
"It doesn't matter who you are, you can make a difference. I've made the decision not to retire...This is only the beginning, I know great things are coming," he said. "Just be kind, thank you everyone."
The Gay-Straight Alliance Network is a nationwide federation of state-level gay-straight alliance networks. According to its site, the organization "connects over 900 clubs across the state, the National Association of GSA Networks, which unites 40 statewide networks of GSA clubs, and GSAs Unite (unite.gsanetwork.org), an online campaign and petition platform supporting youth organizers across the country."
