Playgirl Killer Apprehended, Hates Gays
Marcus Allen/Timothy Boham was arrested on suspicion of murder while trying to flee to Mexico earlier today (in an ending that eerily echos that of Wash West’s porn fiction feature The Fluffer.)
The picture of Boham that emerges in the wake of his arrest suggests a deeply troubled man who was struggling with his sexuality — and temper.
Although he was a fairly well-known porn star (he starred in over a dozen movies over the past few years, and was named “Freshman of the Year” by Freshman Magazine in 2003), he was a gun-collecting, homophobic straight man when away from the gay porn spotlight. Denver Post reports:
… Boham told Lara Holland, who lived in a Denver mansion on High Street in an apartment a floor below Boham, that he “sanitized” his apartment by thoroughly scrubbing it because a gay man had lived there previously, she said.
“He hated (gays),” she said. “He hated their lifestyle.”Although the nature of their relationship remains unclear, Rocky Mountain News is reporting that the “generous to a fault” John “JP” Kelso (the man he’s suspected to have murdered) wanted to give Boham a “new start” by hiring him and training him to be a debt collector just a few weeks ago. He stopped showing up to work after a few days. That Kelso was openly gay makes one wonder if maybe this was a hate crime.
I got a different story from Cory Koons who bottomed for by Allen in Rascal’s “Never Been Touched” in 2005. He recalls no odd or uncomfortable behavior on Allen’s part, saying he was, in fact, quite nice to him on the set. Koons was told by the casting director of the movie that Allen specifically requested to work with him because he’s Asian, and he “had a thing for Asian women.”
When I talked to him earlier today, Koons (seen left, fellating Allen) added, “I was even told to shave my goatee off because he didn’t like facial hair. During some downtime on the set, he showed me pictures of his two daughters. I remember remarking, jokingly, that they were half-Japanese — like me.”
Speculating on his sexuality, Koons remembered (somewhat fondly) “Allen did let me let him suck his dick — which was quite nice — when the cameras weren’t rolling. I got the feeling he wasn’t too into fucking me, but a good blow job is a good blow job. I was happy to provide; he was happy to receive.”
As this case continues to unfold, things should get interesting.

Not to gloss over the seriousness of the situation, but now I’m just waiting for Jason Adonis to crack… ok, I guess I am glossing over this story a little bit. I do hope, though, that he is found guilty on all charges. Taking a life, no matter what the situation, is always something that shouldn’t be done… unless its Hitler, then by all means!
Malicious P November 17th, 2006 at 10:54 AM
How sad; he guess he couldn’t reconcile his gay for pay status with his personal life. Too bad the sugardaddy was the victim of this, but hey isn’t killing a gay man in Colorado like a Class A Misdeamnor? He’ll proably do 30 days tops.
Earl November 17th, 2006 at 4:11 PM
When the news of the killing of the part owner of a collection agency hit and I sae the picture of the suspect, I thought that he was attractive.
No matter how attractive a man may be and no matter what profession that he may be in, and finally no matter if he is having a hard time dealing with his sexuality, he should not be doing any wrong doing at all.
I believe that he should have sought out some type of counseling, if he had a hard time dealing with his sexuality.
Some type of help/assistance to seek out what what his problem was. Whether that a priest, couselor, friend, or family member.
That is my personal opinion.

How ironic he killed someone because he hated the gay lifestyle. And yet didn’t mind starring in the movies so he could collect the paychecks ? If he does not get the death penalty he will become someones bitch in prison and will now more than likely become the bottom that he never wanted to be!

Man o man, I’m shocked that one of my favorite pornstars is a mudering homophobe!!

What’s with Colorado of late? First “self-hating” Rev. Ted Haggard, now this “self-hating” SOB. This reminds me of the Versace murder!

The sad part of this story is that trash scum like David Forest and his prostitution ring of Meet the Stars set Marcus up with the man he is accued of killing and made a profit from it. Do you think Dan Beyers or David Forest give a rats ass that Marcus is in jail with for supposedly killing a man they both sold him to for money?
Anonymous November 18th, 2006 at 9:19 PM
i so agree with the david forest comment.
he has mark dalton as an “companion” who was in prison in texas and now this with marcus allen…
gay for pay…whatever…if you allowed yourself to be filmed before a camera for millions to view all over the world having sex with another man, you got some gay hidden issues. why not try straight porn instead? duh..
all in all a very terrible missfortune and it appears he will spend the rest of his life living a gay lifestyle behind bars.
my heart goes out to the victims family.

Why on earth would a homophobe do gay sex on camera? How much do these boys make for these roles anyway? There’s probably much more to this story that will never come out. The guy is real cute though and will make a hot sexboy for some lucky guy in prison.

So Marcus Allen, err Tim Boham, never bottomed or topped in his videos, just oral sex?

Is it true that Dan Byers set him up with the deceased?
LAM November 19th, 2006 at 2:00 PM
Here is a partial list of the gay porn vids Marcus Allen (aka Timothy Bonham) appeared in and his homophobia really has surprised me as well. Though I don’t remember if he ever bottomed, the dude could suck a big cock as well as any pro in any gay porn flick…and he demonstrated his cock worshiping and deep throating talent in a number of the Studio 2000 vids. Just fucking weird circumstances surrounding this sad tale.

It’s just so weird that he would kill a guy because he hates gays so much. One would think with that much hatred, he would never have wanted anything to do with gays in the first place, let alone starring in gay porn movies.
If this story is true, it’s just plain weird.
naprem November 20th, 2006 at 8:02 PM
He never bottomed, and I don’t remember him being much good as a cocksucker either. He was certainly beautiful, but I had him pegged as gay-for-pay immediately.
But it’s a big step from that to murdering gays because he hates them (which i’m not saying was his motivation for sure).
Anonymous November 21st, 2006 at 3:42 AM
You should watch “the seeker” by studio 2000. He would be the last one I would label as “gay for pay”.
Desslock November 21st, 2006 at 7:04 PM
Marcus Allen is a rich psychological profile regarding someone deeply insecure with his sexual orientation, and who cannot reconcile their own identity. He didn’t “hate gays.” He hated himself. I predict in the future an interesting true crime book on this episode.
Eryk Elliott November 22nd, 2006 at 1:11 AM
I was in the hazing scene, with Marcus Allen. He didn’t seem to be a gay hater. In fact what I remember most, was Marcus talking about eating wheat bread vs white bread. Friendly, and nice to work with. We talked about his daughter and it was also mentioned he was into women. I was shocked and surprised to learn about this senseless tragedy. My condolences to the family of the victim.
Roger November 22nd, 2006 at 2:32 AM
Thank you, Desslock. I agree completely. There was a documentary on PBS within the past 10 years made by a filmmaker who had been gaybashed. He interviewed people who had been convicted of gay bias attacks and murder.
Everyone of them came across as gay, whether they admitted/accepted it or not. Most homophobes are just putting on a show, hoping that they can convince themselves and others that they’re straight.
Also, people, let’s remember that in this great country of ours, everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

My understanding of why straight guys go “gay for pay” is that in straight porn, the guys get paid crap. If you can become a big star in gay porn (a “top” specifically), you can make much better money than being a bottom. Over in the straight porn world, guys get paid little. It’s the women who become well known who make the bucks.
In the gay porn industry, a bottom is a bottom. You can do ok, but there are a dozen other guys willing to bottom for little money. There are others of course who have made it big, who are straight. One of the best know was Jeff Stryker (you didn’t really think he was gay, did you?). He made big bucks and was a top.
But Tim Boham, aka Marcus Allen, has some seriously messed up issues. He was very homophobic, as noted in other comments. I mean, the guy had his apartment fumigated before moving in after discovering that a gay person once lived there. I think he should have fumigated himself from the sounds of it.
I can see doing gay porn for pay if you are in that situation, but only being a top and never sucking dick. That way, you could do your thing, close your eyes, and I suppose imagine that you were shagging a woman.
Either way, the guy has far bigger issues than being an ex-gay porn star, or being a murderer. He’s simply a disgusting excuse for a human being, and no amount of money or counseling will make that any better.
And to be fair, most people who direct gay porn are pretty scum themselves. And gays give them big bucks so that we can all “get off” and have some fun. Fine. But maybe our money would be better spent pouring some of that money into organizations that actually want to make life better for us and support equality?

… I know, I know… just because one gay-for-payer… but really, I wish a return to gay folks having sex with each other would return. Nothing better than a guy who loves having uninhibited and expressive sex with another guy…
jack feiry (velvet goldmine) November 27th, 2006 at 5:12 AM
dear bill,
sex with a woman IS NOT LIKE sex with a man
(for a real str8):a male that sucks (or takes) my str8 cocks remains anyway a male for my str8 cock (and instinct)
with or without closed eyes because nothing could really change a guy into a woman for a real str8 man.
KEN November 28th, 2006 at 11:28 PM
I am a hompphobic gay. I had a sexual mischief from gay adults for a long time. So I hate gay. I hate gay lifestyle. I regret that I am a gay.

Ken,
Do you hate that you’re an idiot, too?
What about being a third-rate provocateur; do you hate that about yourself, as well?
Theguyitay November 30th, 2006 at 11:44 AM
Its shocking to hear the accused killer is a gay-for-pay actor. More shocking is that he was helped by the man who he is accused of killing.
I have helped 20 men get off the street and accept that their actions were survival tactics….three of which I talk to on a regular basis…all normal/stable now and none of them homo.
Not everyone who get sucked off is gay…it’s a make thing.
Goes to show that anyone is capable of doing anything…love to hear the rest of the story when it comes out.
THIS DOES SOUND LIKE A HATE CRIME…and I HOPE IT IS PROSECUTED AS SUCH.

Thank you for your opinion.
I just thought why he hates gay and I imagined he had the painful experience like me. What he did is shameful. However, there are many gay who live happily in gay’s main current, and some gay are not. He and I will have to overcome our past.

Let’s forget this “gay for pay” lie. It’s just like men who have sex with men, but only when they are drunk. They are in denial about their bisexuality. It’s one thing to experiment once in college or high school; it’s another to have sex with a man on video for the world to see.
Marcus Allen is a bisexual man who hated the gay side of his bisexuality.
Zach December 11th, 2006 at 8:54 PM
He hates gays? he will spend his years in prison as a punk..
Probaby Rumours had reached prison before him and he has already been gang raped.

Tim lived with Mark Lundy owner of Buzz Entertainment an escort co weeks prior to the murder. J.P.s murder was not a shock to most, the was he treated his tricks! Mark, JP & Tim Birds of a feather
observer December 17th, 2006 at 9:45 AM
Another tragic case like that of gay porn director Steve Cadro who was murdered by an actor. And recently Colorado porn star Tim Barnett (Bradford Wagner) who committed suicide while in jail for multiple rapes.
Rather than idle speculation from anonymous sources, it’s better to wait for Boham’s trial when we’ll get both sides of the story.

It’s my belief and experience in life that gay bashers and gay haters, are gay themselves. They just can’t come to terms with it. They don’t want to be gay (for various reasons), so their self hatred and loathing takes aim at gays in general. I’ve seen these types of men so many times in the last 45 years.
When a man starts to realize they have desires to be with other men, they react in several different ways. Most slowly begin to accept what they are. Others try to deny it, and suppress those feelings, and that can led to frustration. In men, frustration often leads to anger, and anger can often lead to violence. That’s probably why young gay people commit suicide (anger against themselves which leads to depression) or in the case of gay bashers they turn their anger against other gay people. Who knows why being violent against a gay person would solve their problems. Perhaps they feel if they can exterminate all gay people their gay feelings might go away. It could also be that by performing a violent act against a gay person might prove to others that they are not gay, that’s probably why gay bashing is usually done by more than one person. It’s usually done by two or more people. These gay bashers are trying to prove to the others they are not gay, by doing this violent manly thing (beating someone).

If our society wasn’t so fucked up, guys like Marcus Allen wouldn’t be so messed up in the head. Isn’t it ironic that the ones “so confused” would go into a profession where their required to have SEX with the people they claim to “hate?”
Marcus is no Chad Hunt in the meat department, perhaps that’s why he didn’t get into str8 porn. His looks obviously got him into gay smut.
Listen, we live in a country where gays are “not good enough” to get legally married, but serial killers, child molesters and plain old murderers on death row are eligible. Remember, Ted Bundy (after to admitting to raping/murdering 30 women) got married behind bars as did John Wayne Gacy, who killed and buried 20 young men under his house. But a gay doctor, lawyer, soldier, professor, business-owner or just law-abiding, TAX-PAYING gay AMERICAN CITIZENS cannot? Foreigners come here every day and get married, but they close the door in gays faces. That’s bullshit!!!
Tim Barnett, another “confused” gay porn star, raped and murdered a woman in Vegas, was convicted and committed suicide in prison.
“Str8” guys usually aren’t that good in gay films anyway, I wish they’d try hetero porn, maybe they could deal with their “problem” better.
Anonymous July 1st, 2007 at 8:32 PM
hi. mike here.
what if we all took two separate or continuous, perhaps equal, periods of time in our day to day lives to pray for the loss of a human life and
the lost future, lack of counseling or self-respect, desperate actions of another whose own life will be very possibly filled with horrible acts in prison / jail?
it is hard to pray for a supposed murderer for some. what would Jesus do?
we need so urgently to be informed consumers. if someone is treated like crap over a period of time, while others count their $ made on him, is it really mutually beneficial?
may god bless us all. i am saddened by this story. let us all treat others with love and respect. please.
mike please respond. thank you.
Uriah T Wolfe July 27th, 2007 at 7:23 AM
At least some decent prison rape stories might cum of this. I’d LUV to see him being pinned down by a group of angry black men and had for all he’s worth. In the interest of “justice”, of course… ;-d~~~
Dennis September 9th, 2007 at 12:35 AM
Wow, that Ken guy is a major fuckup
Onto the gay for pay dude
He’s one fucked up mother fucker
Would feel sorry for him, under different circumstances, BUT not murder.
I truly hope he does become some badass prison fucks bitch.. Serves him right to become the bottom he would never want to be… I hope they gangfuck his ass… and keep watch so he doesnt commit suicide… Eternal hell for him

David Forest was friends with porn actor Luka Magnotta, Luka Magnotta is a bisexual or “Straight” as he likes to call it “actor”, Luka is messed up, probley even more then Tim. Apparantly Luka and Tim were in porn together, Luka Magnotta is modelling now and Timothy Boham is in prison. Sad these peoples lifes are so fucked up. Hope they get help.
