'We deserve better': A year ago Dan Benson's charge for LGBTQ equality began on OnlyFans
Former Disney actor Dan Benson started an OnlyFans page, promising a weekly X-rated live stream and pledging support to the LGBTQ community.
Remember Dan Benson? The former child star from the iconic show 'Wizards of Waverly Place' made headlines again, but this time in an unexpected way. It seems he's putting his charm to work for a good cause on OnlyFans, with the platform becoming a battlefield for his latest social activism venture.
"Your Wish Has Been Granted"
Embracing the platform with a bold proclamation, "If you wanted to see me naked - your wish has been granted," Benson is indeed granting wishes and then some. For a fee of $20 per month, subscribers get access to his account. As reported by Daily Mail, this includes a weekly "X-rated live stream" that already boasts a collection of 146 posts. But, it's not all about the risqué; there's a higher purpose behind his venture.
"We Deserve So Much Better from This Country"
In a heartfelt Twitter announcement, Benson stated his goal to use his OnlyFans presence to champion for LGBTQ rights. "I’ll be using this newfound resurgence to fight for and support the LGBTQ communities that deserve so much better from this country," he declared, inviting his followers to share links to their preferred organizations.
Drawing on his fame from Disney's 'Wizards of Waverly Place', where he played the role of Zeke Beckerman from 2007-2012, and other shows like 'Rick and Morty', 'Private Practice' and 'Zoey 101', Benson is turning the tables on celebrity activism. And, he's not alone in the OnlyFans game.
From Disney to OnlyFans: A Rising Trend
Other celebrities like Denise Richards, Sami Sheen, and Carmen Electra have also jumped on the OnlyFans bandwagon. Even Disney Channel alum Bella Thorne managed to rake in $1 million within her first day on the site back in August 2020.
Not to forget, the platform had its moment of controversy in August 2021 when it announced plans to ban 'sexually explicit' content. The move was later rescinded due to significant pushback from its users. In a statement, OnlyFans affirmed, "We have secured assurances necessary to support our diverse creator community."
So, here we have it. From wizards to X-rated live streams, Dan Benson is clearly all grown up, charging ahead for a noble cause. Watch this space as we track his journey, breaking taboos and standing up for the LGBTQ community.
