Gay Australian MP Stephen Bates joins OnlyFans to campaign for free PrEP
Bates justified the move, saying: "Sometimes you have to make a splash to make people pay attention to the things that matter”
Stephen Bates, an MP in the Australian Green Party, has ruffled feathers after joining OnlyFans.
Bates, who previously successfully campaigned for election in 2022 with a campaign which incorporated ads on Grindr, has joined the adult content creator platform to campaign for the roll out of free PrEP.
“Ending HIV is too important to fly under the radar,” Bates said, in a recent interview with QNews. “I campaign on OnlyFans and Grindr because it gets attention.
“Sometimes you have to make a splash to make people pay attention to the things that matter.”

I think it's smart to use these channels.
But holy shit will people be pissed off if dating and sex platforms become filled with political ads - really pissed off.
He's at least advocating a position to help the community.
However - “While PrEP is on the PBS, the gap payment can add up to hundreds of dollars a year,” Bates explained. “In a cost-of-living crisis, that’s just too much.
“You shouldn’t have to pay a fortune to be sexually responsible,” he continued.
How much EXACTLY - hundreds - like $200 a year? That's less than $20 a month. If that's the case - shut the fuck up and pay for your meds. You're taking all this high-risk behavior, a $20 or $30 co-payment isn't much to ask.
