Just as with feminism there is increasing criticism that the LGBT rights movement focuses largely on the wealthy and white. Scholar and civil rights advocate Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw coined the term intersectionality, meaning race, gender, sexuality, class, and so on are not mutually exclusive, but intertwined parts of one’s identity. And that was Banks’ point.
It’s not at all toxic like Fire Island is. I’m a very independent person, and there’s a lot of things that are happening right now. So taking o n racism within the LGBT community is important to the Mexican-born star as the gay porn industry faces a growing criticism for its role in perpetuating racism and not hiring actors of color, unless its in a role that fetishizes them for the pleasure of white viewers.
“Going in I was one of the only men of color, and I said to myself, ‘I will make sure I’m going to be treated equally,’” says Banks.
People are noticing more of my fashion. As with any form of media, the messages and imagery presented in porn are an opportunity, but in some cases they do little more than reinforce racial stereotypes, as is the case with mainstream films. As a community we have a responsibility to equality, period, and not just to those that are like us.
So I thought baconbitswould be kinda funny.
Well, bacon is huge online.
I’m constantly getting pictures from my fans, like, “Look what I was eating this morning.” Every day it’s something to do with bacon. But…noooooooooooo. Never.

Been there, done that? “With me, no one ever knew, as I never lead with it. Do you run into any racism?
Well, I don’t personally run into it, but… I’m a performer, I’ve taken that on as what it is that I’m doing right now, and my company knows my likes and dislikes, and they always run things by me—
—in terms of who you’ll be working with?
Yes, in terms of who I’ll be working with.
In the short time he's been making porn, he's become one of the most popular stars at Raging Stallion, the studio where he's currently an exclusive.
Boomer Banks has made quite an impression in the last year. I do promote my porn, but I’m quite a character on social media. “Most people want the whole status of being a porn ‘star,’ but I make jokes.
"I knew going into it, I had to respect myself first and foremost." Porn isn't the long game, though. Is that also an extension of your branding?
Yes! How did you get into escorting?
It was kind of a series of events. And I was like, you know, I’m not going to call them something with my name in it, I just thought it would be silly.
It’s much more accepting.”
Prior to beginning his career in porn, Banks followed his passion into fashion design, something he continues to pursue.
But I love New York, and winning that award was fun because it’s attached to New York City.
Where were you before you were here?
I grew up in Los Angeles, and I kind of just got stuck there because I’m from there and I knew my way around, but my spirit was dying in Los Angeles, and I always knew I wanted to be in New York City.
Do you have any plans to move back out west since that’s where the porn industry is centered?
Well, I’m exclusive with Raging Stallion, and they’re in San Francisco, and that’s a lot more bearable than Los Angeles.
I know it’s the adult industry, and people might think it’s silly, but there’s something to be said about being recognized in the field where you’re working your ass off…to achieve something. I am a designer, and it’s my passion and my art, and nothing will compare to that. Being unattainable or unreachable might be attractive for a while, but it fades.
