WE honour iconic gay porn actor Joey Stefano as a saint of Antinous.
Nicholas Anthony Iacona Junior was born January 1, 1968, in suburban Philadelphia USA and died November 26, 1994, of a drug overdose.
Over the course of his five-year career, Stefano appeared in 58 gay adult films, and two music videos with Madonna.
Despite his success, Stefano did not save his earnings and relapsed into drug and alcohol abuse.
In 1990, he was diagnosed HIV positive.
On November 21, 1994, Stefano's body was found in a motel room in Hollywood. He was 26 years old.
He symbolizes gay men who skyrocket to celebrity but who fall into disillusionment and ruin just as quickly.
Exquisite boy! Erotica can be fun but is probably not something to do for the rest of life! Alas, beauty if evanescent. Of course, it is best to be blessed with it than to look like Quasimodo! An absolute tragedy his passing! Zeus must have wanted an astonishing boy to replace Ganymede. Saint of Antonius? How lovely! Sculptures of Hadrian's lover are superb!
