I was drawn to this guy on the teen idols website mostly because his name is Carson Gay. Really. It's the last name of his dad and mom. Imagine the homophobic harassment he has faced since kindergarten, and the guts it took to not change it for the stage! It will be very difficult to research whether he is gay in real life, but I'm up to the challenge.
2003
Carson is born in May 2003, of Moroccan-Hawaiian heritage, and adopted by the Gay family, a police officer and a professional mahjong instructor.
2012
The family moves temporarily to Marbella, Spain. Carson goes to a fashion show, and decides that he would like to become a model.
2013
The family moved back to Savannah. Carson takes acting classes at First City Films, models for LL Bean, and appears in local commercials.
Left: Carson and his Dad in the pool.
His film debut comes in Valentine's Day, aka February: a four-minute video about three friends searching for Valentine's Day dates. Carson has an uncredited role as a student.
To promote his modeling career, Carson's parents take him on a designer shopping trip to Alexander McQueen, the luxury fashion house in London. Your parents are loaded, buddy. Policing and mahjong instruction must pay well.
He stars in Towel Man, a Savannah 48 Hour Film: a boy recovering from an injury (Carson) meets a real-life superhero (Joseph Lavender).
Gay...McQueen...Lavender. The kid is really pushing up the queer-coded names.
2015
Carson continues modeling. He walks at the Charleston Kids' Fashion Show.
He stars in the short Sea Odyssey, about a dying boy, appears in an episode of local tv series Catawampus, and has an uncredited role as a gym student in Killing Winston Jones: A junior high teacher (John Heder) wants the new gym named after his father, who is unfortunately still alive.
In the summer, Carson announces that he has a higher rating on Teen Idols 4 You than Daniel Radcliffe. Must be from his modeling.
2016
Carson has a busy year:
An episode of the sketch comedy show Pypo (Put Your Pretty On).
So the guy likes to look pretty?
A walk-on role in Vanished, a Christian movie about the Rapture
The short Zaw, about kids summoning a monster during a truth-or-dare game
The short Tybee (not released until 2018), about a boy (Noah Lomax) searching for the ghost of his father. Carson plays his buddy. The two become friends off-camera.
Mom announces that Carson won the starring role of "Jimmy Stevenson" in Ortega River Rats, a Goonies knock-off, but that part went to Cooper Chapman.
2017
Carson goes to Disney World and the Florida Yacht Club with this long-haired dude. A boyfriend, maybe?
He announces that he won the role of Xavier in Passageway to Hell, but that role went to John Charles Dickson.
Apparently his acting career is not going well; he will have only one more role listed on the IMDB. But not to worry, he has other talents, like football. He plays in the Diamond Youth All American Bowl Game in Virginia Beach, and attends a football summer camp.
2018
More modeling. Carson posts this photo wearing Doug Ordway leather pants. He writes: "Working the leather." Aren't you a little young for leather bars?
For his 15th birthday, Carson has lunch (with pie) and his first massage, and hangs out with a dude. So, did you request a male or female masseur?
More after the break
2019
He stars in short Boy and Bottle: a teenage boy picks up bottles on the beach. It may have been filmed earlier.
More football photos, and that's about it. Carson vanishes from social media. Fortunately, Mom continues his story on her Facebook page.
Carson brings his boyfriend to Homecoming 2019.
Wait -- looking further into the photo set, I see that they both have dates with girls. In spite of all the guy-hugging, the dude is straight, darn it.
2020
His senior year begins. There are photos of Carson posing with his siblings, being kissed by Dad, and modeling these white pants.
2021
Carson is touring colleges. Here he poses at the Brickell City Center in Miami, so he's probably considering Florida International University.
In case you weren't convinced by the homecoming photos, he brings a girl to Senior Prom, too.
2022
Carson is studying at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. It was founded by Methodists, but it is now nonsectarian, and admits LGBTQ students.
He poses at the lake house, wears a suit, and hugs his Dad. Looks like his acting and modeling career has stalled.
2026
I'm fast-forwardign to Carson graduating from SMU in May 2026. No doubt he'll be swallowed up by the heterosexist trajectory of job, house, wife, and kids. But the gay hints were fun, for awhile.
Kelton's Hot/Hung Photos, Part 1: Chanting, wrestling, growing a beard, going blond. With some potential Kelton and Dad telephone poles. Mentions Savannah
