Male Escorts Are Raking It In At The Republican National Convention

Business is booming for male escorts in Cleveland, where the Republican National Convention is underway.

The New York Post reports gay prostitutes are in high demand with closeted GOP delegates and dignitaries.

“Business has been way better. I’ve seen 10 clients so far,” said one hustler.

“Most of them were first-timers. You could tell they were nervous, but once they became more comfortable, they seemed to be having a good time.”

One gigolo who charges $250 an hour said he’s been making about $800 per day since Monday, when the convention kicked off. Another claims to have made $1,600 since the GOP came to town, mainly in the downtown area not far from Quicken Loans Arena, where Donald Trump is primed to speak tonight.

The clientele are described as mostly married white guys in their 40s. “One of them was from Texas and visiting for the convention. He said he was a politician.”

The surge doesn’t come as a shock to these gentlemen of the evening.

One of the hookers said he wasn’t surprised that the convention—filled with politicians who openly oppose gay marriage—brought such a boom in business. “When it comes to anything people aren’t supposed to be doing, they like to do it,” the escort said.

“The Republicans have a lot of delegates in the closet, let’s put it that way.”

We can only imagine what Grindr is like in Cleveland right now.

Sadly, female prostitutes aren’t making nearly as much bank. One told the Post business is actually slower than usual.

This week, the Republican Party ratified it’s most homophobic platform ever, endorsing conversion therapy and bathroom bills and repudiating same-sex marriage and gay adoption.
