Fired NYC Judge Opens Up in Tweet about OnlyFans, Dismissal

Gregory Locke, an OnlyFans and JustForFans star who was also, until his recent firing, a judge for New York City, addressed his dismissal and the controversy around social media posts he made criticizing an anti-drag city council member.

"Last week, I was fired from my job as a New York City Administrative Law Judge," Locke posted in an April 2 tweet. "This came after a member of the City Council took issue with tweets I wrote in response to their bigoted and misguided statements about drag queens and about the queer community at large."

"The Council member and news outlets also took this opportunity to expose me for unrelated x-rated work, none of which occurred during or at work for the City," Locke went on to add.

Stating that it was "disappointing that the City of New York decided to take the side of a documented bigot instead of seizing an opportunity to stand against ever-growing anti-LGBTQ hatred, particularly the fervent hatred toward the trans and nonbinary communities," Locke declared that "The most vulnerable members of the queer community are fighting for their lives, and the only people offended by my tweets are those more interested in policing language than opposing policies and politics which kill."

Locke also posted that the "ethics rules guiding New York City Administrative Law Judges do not require a judge to abstain from politics or political speech," and opined that "Sex work, including porn, is not shameful," going on to vow, "I will not filter my thoughts and actions to appease those who enact harm on my community."

As previously reported, Locke "appeared unfazed" in the immediate aftermath of his dismissal, "posting a video on Instagram of himself smiling broadly at Adele's residence in Las Vegas."

Downplaying his firing, Locke related in his April 1 Instagram post that he had "Spent my Saturday getting ready to see my queen Adele close out her Vegas residency."

"Did anything else happen? Did I miss anything?" he said.

The 33-year-old former judge has "posted X-rated content on his OnlyFans and Twitter accounts," the earlier account at EDGE noted. Demands from 68-year-old City Councilmember Vickie Paladino that Locke face disbarment did not focus on his OnlyFans and JustForFans content, but rather on a tweet Locke had made in response to Paladino taking city-funded Drag Queen Story Hour events to task, claiming that the drag artists who read stories to children were perpetrating "'cultural indoctrination' and 'child grooming,'" UK newspaper the Daily Mail reported.

Locke suggested that Paladino "choke on a d***," reports detailed.

"This started not as a political disagreement, but as a human one," Locke posted in his April 2 tweet. "A politician used their influence to win this battle, underscoring just how important it is – now more than ever – to stand up against bigotry and ensure the protection of the rights of the most vulnerable."

But, the young content creator added, he intended to put his knowledge of the law to good use.

"I will continue my private work, using my legal skills to represent paid clients, and to offer pro bono services for members of the LGBTQ community who need it most."

As for that other line of work, Locke vowed: "I will also continue my work on OF and JFF."
