Meet the Gay Ex-Porn Star Running to Be a Small Town's Next Mayor
Antonio Moreno Wants to Lead the Town of 438 Residents
Gay former adult film star Antonio Moreno — who went by the stage name Héctor de Silva — is stepping into politics.
Moreno, 38, is running to be the next mayor of a small Spanish town called Carcelén in eastern Spain. The town has 483 residents according to Spanish outlet Sur.
He’s also not ashamed of his previous career. The ex-actor, whose films include Hung Country and 2 Wet told the outlet that he “learned a lot” from his experiences working in adult films.
"I take it my past as a porn actor normally because my family, who supported me, knew about it and I have always told them about it. It is a stage in my life that I don't regret because I learned a lot,” Moreno said.
He lives in the town with his partner and works as a livestock farmer.
Moreno is running for the Partido Popular (PP) political party, which leans conservative. The party previously stood against marriage equality in Spain, however, some PP-led areas of the country have even introduced legislation against anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination.
The political hopeful previously worked as a firefighter, which he said connected him deeply to the community he’s trying to serve.
"I was born in the city of Albacete but when I arrived here I fell in love with this village and its natural environment, which is spectacular," he said. "I discovered that an aunt of mine had been given up for adoption to a family in Carcelén, I looked for her and I found her.”
Moreno told Sur that the city needs to focus on attracting families and increasing the population.
"Carcelén has many possibilities because it has nature, heritage, and its August festivals that could be more widely known," Moreno said.
He’ll face the town’s current mayor, María Dolores Gómez Piqueras, who has served since 2011 in a May 28 election.
