Trevor Knight And David Bradberry Get Engaged “Below Deck”
Just because you’re the gay porn star power couple of the moment doesn’t mean you can’t get engaged on basic cable: On tonight’s episode of Bravo’s “Below Deck,” we meet David Bradberry’s boyfriend, Trevor Knight, who wastes no time by proposing to his boyfriend of two years via Skype.
Not even a full month since the Supreme Court ruled in support of gay marriage, and now two bone-fide gay porn stars (including one who served openly in the Marines) are getting engaged to be married on TV. Change happens fast! Check out my blow-by-blow of this extremely adorable, vaguely historic event after the jump.
It’s David’s birthday, so when Trevor Skypes him (holding balloons), we just assumed it was to wish him a happy birthday:
Meanwhile, a montage of PG images of the absurdly gorgeous couple scrolls across the screen as David explains in a voice-over that his boyfriend is an “independent entertainer”. Awk-ward:
In addition to the balloons and silly hat, Trevor holds up a red velvet cake that’s just darling. (At this point, you can sense that Trev’s starting to get a little nervous):
Suddenly, Trevor pulls a string and a “Happy Anniversary” sign pops open (the two started dating on David’s 24th birthday). The “Happy Birthday” balloons are replaced by “Happy Anniversary” balloons: It’s so sweet that I am willing to overlook the fact that the sign appears to be on dot matrix printer paper. Trevor grows more nervous:
Of course, we’re not done yet. Trevor then grabs a dozen roses (could you just die?!). As he he tells David how much he means to him, he starts to get choked up. With a shaking hand, he pulls one rose out of the vase: There’s a ring hanging from it! He pops the question!
Cut to David, who is blushing profusely and nervously giggling. “You’re insane. Of course,” he says nonchalantly between guffaws:
YES!!!! (Trevor seems relieved!)
Then its is back to work waiting hand and foot on the ship’s entitled, nouveau riche passengers. *Sigh*. Hooray for heteronormativity (And Trevor Knight’s colossal penis.)
Here’s the full clip from last night’s episode, Below Deck Ep 3: “Dude, That’s a Dude, Dude” (via Bravo TV):

doesn’t this seem opportunistic? I mean the cameras are there.
Why now? why not last year? Or the Year before that…and so on?
It doesn’t seem authentic. It seems staged. And the fact that Trevor’s stage name appears throughout this doesn’t right.
The series will be cancelled before this gay wedding happens.

omg, are you really that dense? This was filmed almost a year ago/several months before Supreme Court rulings. Perhaps they really are in love. Yeah for them!

why not the year before or before that? Because instant love is a fantasy. you lust/like, then fall in love and gradually work to the point where you want to be together forever.
Though i do agree, staged for tv.

I agree: It was totally opportunistic and staged. If you look closely you can see the Skype shot of Trevor cutaway to an actual filmed shot of him. I am pretty sure they really are engaged / love each other. I mean, all “reality” shows are staged/scripted at this point. At least the “message” here was somewhat more positive than the usual vapid, materialistic drivel we’re spoon-fed.

His contact data in David’s phone was probably changed just for this series: if Trevor’s real name isn’t widespread public knowledge, why would he put it on the air for the entire country to see?

Congratulations to Trevor and David! I truly hope you two will be together and happy fifty years from now.

So you propose to your boyfriend using your gay porn star name? Must get confusing to have double personalities. Bravo is the gayest channel anyway (sorry Logo) so they might as well have a reality show with gay porn stars. Im surprised Logo hasnt done that (A List selfies not included)…It might be too niche but at least a webseries…Im sure youd get a lot of gay men watching, just curious about the gay porn lifestyle (im sure we wouldnt show abuse, manipulation, aids, and drugs) and why people go into it, how they get out of it, and how it might affect their lives outside of porn – including relationships with family and friends.
