Gay porn stars are often held in high regard like RuPaul Drag Queens and our pop music stars. One of the first to reach that status was Colton Ford. We are sad to report a heartbreaking loss in the LGBTQ community.
Colton Ford, known off-screen as Glenn Soukesian, has died at the age of 62. While official details are still limited, friends say he was involved in a tragic hiking accident over the weekend. A late bloomer in the adult film industry, Ford began his film and acting career at age 40 in 2001. He quickly became a household name in gay adult entertainment, working with top studios like Falcon, RFC, and Mustang.
In 2003, he received the prestigious GayVN Award for Gay Performer of the Year.. Famous director and DJ Chi Chi LaRue posted on Facebook, saying: “I’m So Shocked and Saddened to hear and report the sudden passing of my friend and Icon Glen aka Colton Ford! You will missed! Keep Singing In Heaven!” Ford wasn’t just an adult film star. He was also a singer and actor, with appearances in Another Gay Sequel, The Lair, and even Cyndi Lauper’s “Into the Nightlife” video.
His music career included albums like Tug of War and Permission, with fan-favorites like “Let Me Live Again” and “Just the Way I Am.” Colton Ford leaves behind a legacy that stretches far beyond the screen, touching lives through his art, his music, and his unmistakable spirit. Colton Ford represented the LGBTQ community in diversity and acceptance unlike most from his generation.
