Ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes of the gay adult film industry? Here’s your chance to sneak behind the cameras! On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at 6:00 PM, the Stonewall National Museum, Archives, & Library welcomes Ben Rush, the multi-award-winning filmmaker as well as Falcon | NakedSword’s Co-Chief Content Officer and Chief Creative Marketing Officer, for a provocative and entertaining evening. From the creative process to the fascinating personalities, the unexpected challenges to the outrageous stories, Rush will pull back the curtain on one of the most talked-about – and least understood – genres of LGBTQ+ entertainment and culture. Guests are encouraged to bring their curiosity and their sense of humor. No subject is off-limits, and no question is too wild to ask!
The evening is about more than just juicy conversation, though. Each ticket holder will receive an exclusive swag bag valued at more than $150, courtesy of Falcon | NakedSword, Fleshjack, System JO, and Skull & Bones NYC. Included are the following:
“People have all kinds of ideas of what goes on behind the scenes in adult entertainment, and the reality is much funnier, stranger, and more interesting than they imagine,” said
Ben Rush, Falcon | NakedSword’s award-winning director, screenwriter, Co-Chief Content Officer, and Chief Creative Marketing Officer. “I’m looking forward to sharing stories, answering questions, and having some laughs while supporting an organization that does such important work preserving the LGBTQ+ community’s history.”
“As government attacks on LGBTQ+ rights and freedom of expression increase, we are deeply grateful for the support of Falcon | NakedSword and Ben Rush, and for our shared commitment to protecting the First Amendment,” said Robert Kesten, President of the Stonewall National Museum, Archives, & Library. “Their meaningful support helps us ensure that our stories are impossible to erase. At a time when censorship and attempts to silence our community are growing, this partnership makes clear that the freedom to tell our own stories must be defended.”
Beyond the laughs, stories, and naughty gifts, the evening supports a vital effort. very ticket purchase directly benefits Stonewall at a time when government funding has been withdrawn and support for LGBTQ+ cultural institutions is increasingly uncertain. This special evening offers guests the opportunity to celebrate LGBTQ+ culture while helping ensure that the community’s history and experiences remain visible and accessible for generations to come.
