THE QUEERTY INTERVIEW - Francois Sagat Opens Up On Gay Porn Suicides And Why He Quit The Business

May 20, 2013 - THE QUEERTY INTERVIEW

What was behind the decision to announce your retirement in the video?

Actually, I stopped doing porn two years ago, but I didn’t make a public statement then. The last one I did was Incubus, which I shot in 2011. Some fans were waiting for new movies and I was a bit embarrassed to tell them that there would be no more. So I made this video that I shot last April at Disneyland to confirm I wasn’t making anymore porn. Read the entire article HERE.

How it all started : Porn Star Wilfried Knight Commits Suicide After Long Battle With Immigration

Three years ago this news made some frontpage : 

"French native Wilfried Knight died March 5, two weeks after his American husband took his own life, following years of unsuccessful efforts to have their Canadian marriage legally recognized in the U.S."

For me it was the last blow in a long series of people I have admired over the years for what they did choosing to die or being forced into this ultimate dead-end. In a sense they had allowed us to dream and fantasized in an otherwise quite bleak world and we let them down. 

Even though both these deaths were not directly related to Wilfried KNIGHT's work it was just the last dot in a long line of dead men...

12 March 2013 LUCAS Entertainment published the following statement on Wilfried KNIGHT's official page : 

" We need to first say that this is one of the last things we’d ever want to write. It is impossible to send this without the heavy heart of our company weighing it down. Many of us had personal relationships with Wilfried Knight and as a whole this is one of the saddest days in our office.

News came in to Lucas Entertainment on Monday morning that Wilfried had taken his own life. Yesterday we frantically scrambled to prove this wrong and sadly came up with confirmation that the worst was true.

Wilfried Knight was a very special person, a genuine, caring, smart and grounded individual whose personality even out-shined his incredible outward beauty. In the wake of this news we have to step back and look at the awful losses the industry has experienced this year. Wilfried’s passing had nothing to do with the industry but the outpouring sadness we have seen urges us to address others in need.

We all would like to consider ourselves strong people but there will always be certain things that tear us down. We have to think about what awfulness brought Wilfried to this point and fight against it. Life is guaranteed to devastate us at some point but we can’t and shouldn’t cause others who care about us to go through such pain. The domino effect has to end and although we are far from perfect we open our ears and hearts to whoever needs to talk.

Wilfried we love you dearly and hope you are slumbering in peace with your husband.
