It's been an exciting and eventful Republican National Convention for more than just the politicians, and reportedly, Cleveland's gay sex workers saw an extreme business boom during the event. According to an RT report, male sex workers saw a surge in their income during the week-long Republican event. Some gay male prostitutes in Cleveland claim that they earned more than five times their average weekly take during the convention. On the flip side of the coin, female Cleveland sex workers have been reporting a dramatic drop in their business over the course of the RNC.
Reportedly, part of the reason for the increase in business among gay sex workers in Cleveland was a targeted advertising campaign among available sex workers. Gay escorts reportedly took to Craigslist in near-record numbers with postings advertising gay sex services during the Republican National Convention.
Many of the ads that popped up on the online classified site were reported to have been specifically directed at those in town for the political convention.
