As the years have gone by this feeling within me has become increasingly stronger. I felt as though I wasn&#8217;t doing enough and I needed to leave the industry to make it happen. It wasn&#8217;t until I took some time to myself and reflect, that I realized I don&#8217;t need to leave. This is the very industry that changed my life for the better in so many ways. Being comfortable with who I am, my sexuality, my confidence. It&#8217;s helped me grow in ways I wouldn&#8217;t have imagined. I realized I can still fulfill this calling and while continuing in the industry. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.buddylead.com\/nextdoorstudios\/go.php?pr=9&#038;su=1&#038;si=46&#038;ad=189157&#038;pa=actors&#038;ar=32875&#038;buffer=\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.queermenow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Markie-More-Gay-Porn-Star-Naked-Next-Door-Exclusive-2.jpg\" alt=\"Markie More Gay Porn Star Naked Next Door Exclusive\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-245611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.queermenow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Markie-More-Gay-Porn-Star-Naked-Next-Door-Exclusive-2.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.queermenow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Markie-More-Gay-Porn-Star-Naked-Next-Door-Exclusive-2-107x160.jpg 107w, https:\/\/www.queermenow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Markie-More-Gay-Porn-Star-Naked-Next-Door-Exclusive-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.queermenow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Markie-More-Gay-Porn-Star-Naked-Next-Door-Exclusive-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.queermenow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Markie-More-Gay-Porn-Star-Naked-Next-Door-Exclusive-2-100x150.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It doesn&#8217;t matter who you are, you can make a difference.
