STR8UPGAYPORN: Former (2011-2020) Helix gay-porn actor Kyle Ross (born Aaron Cumbey), one of the studio's most recognizable stars, died in what is called a horrific one-car crash in Florida, hours after he had multiple heated disputes with American Airlines for not accommodating him with a flight he had booked. Judging from the many videos he posted in the final days of his life, Ross, who'd been vacationing in the state, arrived at the airport ready to fly with his service animal, only to be denied. It is not exactly clear why he was denied, but he threw a fit on video (perhaps justified?) and wound up having to sleep in his rental car with his dog.
We are heartbroken to confirm that Aaron Cumbey aka @KyleRossXXX has passed away as the result of a solo car accident this past weekend, no foul play is suspected. His family is devastated and asks for privacy during this time. We love you Kyle 🖤 RIP

Ross posted videos the next day complaining about how hot the car was, because the temperature threatened his multiple sclerosis drugs.

The last video, apparently, shows Ross gassing up with his dog. Earlier videos from his trip reveal he was a reckless driver. It is haunting that his final videos on Facebook are about the need for speed, just before he died in a car crash.
The struggle is real. Thank you @AmericanAir for inhumanely denying me boarding and degrading my life saving drugs. #MultipleSclerosis pic.twitter.com/4fsPhyVhEK

Kyle had been rocking a very different look from his porn days:

TWITTER: These, um, concerned parents are screaming about child abuse and the devil because a school was raising a Pride flag:
#BREAKING Police called in to manage the crowd at the York Catholic District School Board meeting. The topic of raising the Pride flag at YCDSB schools this June sparked this scene. The man at the beginning who you are seeing get swarmed was there to support raising the flag. pic.twitter.com/WLcYfezmhl

Of course, these people — soooo concerned about children (keep 'em away from clergy and their own dads, all of whom do most of the child-abusing!) — didn't care about the crying LGBTQ kids.

TWITTER: This funt thinks people on Medicaid need to fucking work for it. Hey, 80-year-olds, stop being so lazy! Hey, 11-year-old girls impregnated by their dads and forced to give birth, get crackin'!
