Blake Mitchell Explains Why He’s Lonely: WATCH
It’s hard to date a celebrity, and even harder when that celebrity’s job is having sex with men on camera, according to Helix Studios performer Blake Mitchell, who explained in a recent video why that has made him a lonely man.
Mitchell said that one thing that’s hard for his boyfriends to handle is the things people say to him when they’re out in public: “People are gonna come up to me if we’re out together at a club possibly and make a compliment that if they made it to anybody else society would find it unacceptable.”
He added that travel and filming is another thing that a boyfriend has to deal with: “To me, that’s my job…but I recognize from experience…what it feels like is being in a one-way open relationship and of course that’s not fair…it becomes a very difficult thing….”
“There are people that think they can deal with it and then the months go by,” he added.
Said Mitchell: “I’m missing a piece of life that I could be having right now…and that’s a strangely painful thing to deal with to realize that I’ve picked this job over my personal life…it makes me sad sometimes but mostly it just contributes to that loneliness…the odds are stacked against me to find somebody who’s going to deal with my job, actually accept it, much less support and encourage me…”

HRC Remembers Founding Board Member Jerry Weller
Today, HRC released the following statement on the passing of HRC founding board member Gerald (Jerry) K. Weller Jr. Among his many roles as an LGBTQ civil rights pioneer, Jerry had served as the co-chair of the Gay Rights National Lobby (GRNL) — the predecessor of HRC — and as GRNL’s acting executive director. Jerry passed away on Sunday, July 8, 2018.
‘With Jerry Weller’s passing, our community has lost another giant,” said Vic Basile, who served as HRC’s first executive director. “When few of us had the courage to be out and fighting the good fight, Jerry was there, ready to lead or simply to lend a helping hand. He was spirited, brave and selfless.”
