Personal life

While in college, DeAngelis appeared in multiple gay pornographic films for the website GayHoopla. [3] [5] In 2024, reflecting on the experience, he said, he was "lured" into participating. [5] Robby Soave reporting for Reason magazine said in 2024, that the reporting and subsequent events around the discovery of the adult film activity were acts of "classic cancel culture" and that, "Conservatives who were happy to work with DeAngelis before but are participating in his cancellation now should reconsider. There is no tension between DeAngelis's decision, a decade ago, to appear in a gay pornographic film, and his current work calling for more freedom in education." [11]
