A German-born ex-gay adult film star living in Scotland says he’s turning over a new leaf. He’s putting his x-rated past behind him and focusing his attention on local politics.
43-year-old Philipp Tanzer began working as a gay adult film star in 2007, performing as Logan McCree. He became known for his distinctive tattoos that cover most of his body, including his penis and butt.
In 2008, he won a Grabby Award for Best Fetish Video. And in 2010, he launched his very own website, “loganmccree.tv”, which was sort of like a precursor to OnlyFans, where he billed himself as the “hottest German porn star around.”
Then in 2012 everything changed. Tanzer quit the adult entertainment business, left Germany, and moved to Scotland with his girlfriend. After announcing that he no longer considered himself gay, he became a men’s rights activist.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Now, he’s launching a political campaign. Not only that, but he’s running on an anti-porn platform as a member of the uber-conservative Scottish Family Party.
“Porn is not a men’s problem,” the Cum in My Face 2 star tells the Daily Mail. “Both boys and girls consume pornography and both suffer under its impact.”
“When I was younger I was not clear what path I would take. I was pushed into identifying myself as something at the age of 32 that I was not. The Scottish Family Party best represent my views on life and society.”
Despite appearing in over a dozen adult films and making a ton of money in the process, Tanzer, who is a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, says it never aligned with his values.
“I had a negative view of the pornographic industry even before I joined it,” he says, “but I needed the money.”
Because one can’t be anti-porn and pro-gay at the same time, the Jock Itch star says he doesn’t believe LGBTQ history should be taught in schools because it promotes “LGBT+ lifestyles and pornography on children.” He’s also against same-sex adoption and banning conversion therapy ban.
Asked whether he thinks his x-rated past might hurt his election chances, Tanzer, who now works as a hairdresser and recently had his Twitter account suspended for making extremist comments, tells the Daily Mail that he really doesn’t think so.
“Everyone in Durness has heard about it,” he says. “But I really try and help in the community as much as I can and people are very grateful.”

Logan is known to be a long-term loon. As in lunatic.

Seems like just an opportunist. Wherever the money is.

I definitely remember him from being an exclusive on Ragingstallions.com back in the mid to late 2000s. He was an insatiable, and always hard-dicked bottom with a nice slim body and hairy wanting hole.
I was surprised to read this about his new change as a politician.
Even more surprised to see that it takes less than a second to google his former stage name and be able to find photos of him getting destroyed and gagging on the hugest dongs in the industry.
EVEN MORE surprised he still operates his website and has videos posted for money of him using his whole entire ass to batter and abuse the dicks of the tops he serviced.
Donston
Guys like him is partly why I don’t pay any attention to these porn performers. So many are very damaged loonies and/or leeches. And so many resent “gays”, even while doing homo porn and/or being “gay” identifying. I remember reading an article on him years ago which featured his homophobic and anti-gay Tweets, a ton of misogynist Tweets and also him talking about how he’s not “gay” because he’s not a Lady Gaga fan. The dude was and still is f-ed up and full of hate.
He has obviously gone through some traumas, mental health struggles, resentments, toxic masculinity and perhaps some confusions, contradictions, fluidity. But instead of confronting those things, he of course entirely blames porn, feminists and “queers” for all his issues and the issues of the world. It’s such a tired and typical arc. I definitely have some issues with the press’ promotion of porn and the porn industry in general. It’s something we do need to talk about more. But this isn’t about “helping” anyone. This is almost entirely about someone who can’t deal with how f-ed up in the head he is, can’t deal with his “gay past” and can’t deal with his sex work past. So, he’s looking to blame and lash out.
jorgecruz
I am not sure how much you have to out someone already releasing ten gay fetish videos a year. Sounds like he is still trying to figure out who he is much like the closeted conservative Republicans that vote anti gay everything, then post pics of their gaping ass on grindr looking for a gang bang.
Dijonaise
He’s pretty damn hot, but based on the number times he’s been gleefully corn-holed on camera, I’m not buying the ex-gay part. Amazing dick though!
stanhope
He just got some bad dick that blew his mind….happens alot LOL
Donston
And of course, we’re gonna get lame comments talking about how “hot” he is.
I_am_that_guy
It should be noted that the Scottish Family Party holds no political seats either in the national Parliament or the Scots Devolved (regional parliament).
Kangol2
Garbage in, garbage out. I hope the people of Durness reward this repellent loon with zero votes or a resounding loss, whichever comes first.
Donston
This is also part of the reason why I say everyone needs stop trying to force people to “come out” or identify as something or declare that they’re a part of the “queer community”. If someone experiences a “change of heart”, or a mental breakdown, or enough internalized phobias and resentments, or enough fluidity that leads to them wanting a hetero commitment- then all you’re doing is giving them amo to talk about how “gays” pressured them and deluded them. Of course, many people hide behind “queers” for protection, validation and to feel like they belong somewhere until they’re ready to move on and ready to attack. These types don’t ever think about confronting their own traumas, dimensions, mental health and resentments. It’s always about either hiding behind others or attacking others.
barryaksarben
YOur comment is beyond ignorant when you actually read this nutjobs statement about how he “came out” at 32. THIRTY TWO! IF a grown man in his 30s is too susceptable to peer pressure then he is the problem and it is NOT peer pressure.You are such a stupid troll. Every time I come here you are making some half thought out pathetic mostly homophobic shit statement. Such poorly thought out ideas prove how shallow you are
Donston
What exactly have I said that is “ignorant” or “homophobic”? That it’s misguided to try and shame people/force people out of the closet? That we shouldn’t try to force identities on people? If you think that’s “homophobic” then you got issues.
TMBisAOK
Oh FFS! His problems ARE NOT caused by anyone forcing him to come out or choose anything! If anything his mental health problems and own0 homophobia are because of society’s homophobia and hate of gay people. So many gay people suffer from PTSD, depression, anxiety etc directly as a result of family, friends and society’s trauma-inducing treatment of gay people as kids and into adulthood. Your evaluation of him makes Lucy from Peanuts look like a genius when she charges 5 cents for “psychiatric help”!
cctv
Nobody made him make sweet love to a hard wet one on camera.
GayisPermanent
That’s not even a thing. 32 years old? Countless pornos? He’s been passed around like a bong at a frat party repeatedly and happily. That’s with friends of mine and aside from the films. He didn’t Have to “come out”. If you’d ever seen him in public with other men, you’d know this. He’s full of shit.
Prinny
Obvious closet case
Fahd
Seems like a person of extremes starting with the tattoos ranging to getting kicked off Twitter. Oh, and then there’s the awkwardness of a German ex-gay porn star settling into a heterosexual relationship in a Scottish village. Maybe there is/was addiction involved. I hope he’s getting any mental health help he might need. I suppose the “Scottish Family Party” is happy to have him with the way he helps out in the village and all. Good luck!
moretruth
When you hit rock bottom, I guess it’s comforting to know that you might still have a future in politics
Phil H
He has no future in politics. He’s a member of a “party” of fringe nutjobs totally out of step with Scottish society. He’s not getting elected to anything and the only coverage he’ll get is on sites like this because of his past.
AxelDC
“When I was younger I was not clear what path I would take. I was pushed into identifying myself as something at the age of 32 that I was not.”
Yes, many people are young and foolish at the tender age of 32. Give me a break! You are 14 years out of high school by then. I didn’t have a lot of money in my 20s, but I never turned to porn as the solution.
This guy cannot even take ownership of his past deeds. My parents had 5 kids by the time they were 32, and he wants to pretend he was too young and naïve then.
Res1
Finally, someone speaks the truth. Too many ways to make money in the modern age to do porn. Porn used to be a way for openly queer/gay/ trans people to make money when they had no other alternatives. Nowadays people do it cause they think they are above McDonalds and blue collar work.

As soon as I read “vocal supporter of Trump” that told me all I need to know. He’s obviously not right in the head.
Joe Dalmas
This guy seems to have serious identity problems beginning with his need to desecrate his entire body with those tattoos (nothing against tats but Jesus!) and his professional choices (nothing against porn either). A troubled life.
Donston
The problem is when people take their traumas, troubles, mistakes, struggles and use them as an excuse to hate and tear down others. Live the life you want to live. It’s when you attempt to destroy other people’s lives that you become a problem.
RoughRugger
Y’know, someone who sincerely has “nothing against tats” and “nothing against porn either” probably ought to find a better way to characterize someone who both has tats and worked in porn than saying they “desecrated [their] entire body.”
dezstpete
I had sub’d to his YouTube at some point years ago. Completely forgotten about the subscription until I was scrubbing account one day. Finally went and watched one of his most recent posts. This individual has issues. To listen to him is like listening to one of the individuals from 01-06-2021 folks. Most of what he stated was complete and utter horseshit. This ‘girlfriend’ has to be of the same ilk to be anywhere around him for reasonable length of time. Agreed with other post about hoping to see his Campaign receive Zero Votes, or he get resoundingly defeated.
darklight413
It’s amazing how people suddenly decide they’ve changed and now they demand the rest of the world bow to them. No wonder he’s a trumpanzee. NEXT!
SparkyMICH
“I was pushed into identifying myself as something at the age of 32 that I was not.” Sorry, but no one gets “pushed into identifying” themselves at the age of 32….he made choices.
RyanMBecker
Tattoo on the penis? Ugh…
Iona Lexiss
Yeah. And when he gets aroused it says “Stupid is as Stupid Does”
Den
Hey, some of the best sex I ever had was with a guy who had tattoos on his penis and scrotum. They were as hot as he was.
Kevan1
He is not getting any royalties for his performances, so now he is trying to get back at the gay community. Own what you did and except the decisions you made and move on.
kennedyglenn
What this is called is HYPOCRISY! Philipp Tanzer formerly known as Logan McGee seems to be conflicted. He made all those porn videos, and there were a lot -and a website, which made him a LOT of money at the time. Now he also claims in the press to no longer be gay but is now bisexual. What a crock. I’m sorry, he goes from being a porn dream to politician nightmare in a snap and uses the porn to justify his stance against pornography just to get into office. Am I supposed to buy this crap? I think he is the biggest hypocrite ever.
Res1
Anybody who graffitied their body like he did can’t be wrapped too tight.
Kevan1
Just watched a few of his videos. He sure liked being penetrated a lot. He is mostly a bottom in his vids and seemed to like sucking.
[email protected]
People love it when someone comes out as gay…even at an older age. Let’s not be hypocrites. He can come out as straight at his age and we should embrace him for being his true self. Yay!!!!
Donston
Stop being a dumbass. First, he never said he’s “straight”. He doesn’t even like being referred to as an “ex gay”. That’s just something this site used as a headline. Also, he’s unabashedly homophobic, anti-gay and misogynistic. So, this isn’t a topic about respecting people’s life. The dude is a hateful jackass.
enlightenone
So much to unpack here or throw in the garbage, take your pick………………………………………………………………..
winemaker
So he gave up pornography and so called ‘saw the light’. Porn stars have short careers for the most part and when you hit 40, it seems you’re popularity goes away. There are a few exceptions but you rarely see porn stars over 40. So. he’s changed and has gone into politics, big deal At least he’s not sitting on his ass doing nothing constructive. BTW: at his age should know that people are born gay and straight. This is a medical fact and was proven over 45 years ago and is inherent in your DNA and is a part of you. Being gay isn’t a ‘disease’ and thus can’t be ‘cured’. And BTW: for those out there who say it’s a lifestyle, it’s not a ‘lifestyle’, it’s a life
Res1
He has been this way for about 10 years. I remember when his retirement was announced and it was said that he fell in love with some woman. This was probably 10 or so years ago.
rickywintour
You seem to have skimmed over him being homophobic. People like him shouldn’t be taken lightly as they make life bad for the rest of us. Plus his political aspirations aren’t what a sane person would call constructive.
Wolfwalk
Thank God he’s in Scotland and not here. In the USA he’d be overwhelmingly elected by the Trump Loon Fringe if he just ran in the right district. Scotland, while it has its share of conservatives and right wingers, has had a rather socially progressive government since 2014, including advocating for LGBTQI rights. Twice Scotland has been named the best country for LGBTQI legal equality, both in 2015 and 2016.
Donston
Of course, a lot of y’all are turning this into an argument about identities and sexualities. Who gives a shit that stuff? If the dude wants to say he’s “not ‘gay” and/or that he wants a hetero commitment then that’s his right and his life. You don’t know what makes someone happy or gives them peace. You don’t know the dimensions of anyone’s sexuality, what fluidity that may or may not have experienced, or where they fit in the gender, romantic, sexual, affection, emotional investment, commitment spectrum. You don’t know any of that shit. I’m a little tired of people thinking they understand all the nuances of complete strangers. Furthermore, people don’t suddenly become anti-gay just because they got older or because porn isn’t making them any money. So many of y’all don’t have the slightest clue what you’re taking about when discussing sexuality, gender, orientation and mental health.
The real issue here is that he’s trying to be a politician while using anti-queer agendas to get him status and press. He’s using a supposedly past “gay lifestyle” and using his past porn career to get attention and validation, despite him claiming to have moved on from those things. He has also gone on a handful of homophobic and misogynistic rants over the years. He’s still greatly attached to “gayness” and porn, despite claiming to have “moved on”. The dude has hella issues. And he would be sympathetic if he wasn’t so full of hate and resentment and trying to sell other people on being hateful.
Res1
That’s why I think we should stop celebrating coming out. You don’t know what someone will identify as in several years or if they will continue living a gay lifestyle.
Donston
It is true that a “proud gay” one year might be in a hetero marriage and saying a bunch of anti-gay shit five years later. Just like a supposedly “straight” person in a hetero marriage may be in a homo marriage five years later talking about how “proud” they are to be “out”. The difference is the latter part a very unlikely to spend a ton of time talking about hating “straights” and seriously deriding and trying to invalidate hetero commitments.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with congratulating people on being themselves, living the life they want to live, fighting past prejudice, fighting past internal phobias, whatever. But we do make too big of a deal out of identities and the “coming out” process. We don’t like to acknowledge that plenty of people experience fluidity, contradictions and/or confusions. We don’t like to acknowledge that no matter your sexuality; identity and lifestyle are choices at the end of the day. We don’t like to acknowledge that “sexuality” encompasses so many different elements, and it is so different from person to person. We don’t like to acknowledge that many damaged people hide behind “queers” to give them some protection or support or make them feel like they belong. We don’t like to acknowledge how vast the gender, romantic, sexual, affection, emotional investment, commitment spectrum is. We don’t like to acknowledge that no matter what- sociology, family, religion, politics, ego, money and mental health will always play big roles in what people do and how they present themselves.
I wish everyone was incredibly nonchalant when it comes to this sexuality, identity, other people’s love life’s and sex lives and relationships. But for a handful of reasons, that’s not case.
He isn’t close to being the first gay porn performer to shit on “gays” and then try to fit into a hetero commitment. What makes him particularly scummy is that he wants to use his “gay past” to promote hate and get him attention, even while being on “gay apps” within the last couple of years. The dude is just a damaged scumbag who doesn’t have any real convictions beyond his resentments and mental struggles and wanting his resentments and mental health struggles to be validated in the most egotistical ways.

Soon as they leave the community/gay porn they age like plums. Is stress keeping them up at night?

Another damaged soul, “at 32 I was pushed into it (porn)”. Porn never aligned with my republican values. But I needed the money. So why not go into Str8 porn.
Hidden subtext: I’m republican but like dick.
Res1
Is he religious? I’m not even religious and lean more atheist but I get pissed off when people believe in something and don’t follow it. For me it’s a lack of loyalty which is the most important thing for me. You have people like Justin Bieber preaching god this and that but doesn’t God see tattoos as a sin? Yet they keeping ruining their bodies with them and piercing. If I were god, I’d be pissed off at the fact that you say you honor me but disobey me.
Mr. Stadnick
Well I now about an old gay porn star I’ve never heard of and a Scottish political party that I have never heard of.
scotto
Hardly anybody in Scotland heard of them either. They are a tiny right wing fringe party founded in the past few years and have no elected representatives of any kind even at local council level. Durness is a bit weird with an artist community and stuff but I doubt they would vote for that kind of party.
scotto
He was still on Scruff within the last couple of years anyway, although only looking for platonic meetings, not hook ups according to his profile.
IanHunter
I was never a fan of his. I was at an event where he was the DJ. Something was very off with him. He seemed not to be there in his head.
Leviticus1822
Good for him.
He saw the light in time.
Donston
This isn’t about “finding the light”. If it was he would be minding his own business. Not constantly spewing hate on social media and trying to become a faux politician. This isn’t about Christ (I don’t even think he is Christian). This is about anger, hate, mental health issues and desperately wanting validation. I’m just tired of these dudes thinking the world owes them everything and thinking they can hate everyone because their uncle or whoever touched in them when they were a kid. It’s tired.
However, this is the type of narcissism and resentment that fueled Trump. So, you never know how much success he’ll have.
Blue Zoo
Yea, he saw the light, and it was a spotlight. At least this loon is someone else’s “star” now.
Jerrspero
Glad he never got a penny of my money. If he pops up in my porn movies, I’ll delete him. Lost me at “Trump supporter.” He can rot in hell, the fascist.

One of my all time fav adult stars, thought he was eloquent in displaying his beliefs weather you believe him or not it is his truth.
lkg4fun1
The math doesn’t seem to work out. If he is 43 now, and started porn in 2007, he would have been 29. Doing gay porn for 3 years before “I was pushed into identifying myself as something at the age of 32 that I was not.” Unless he’s lying about his age now and is actually 46. Seriously, tho, being bad at math isn’t his worst problem!

Anyone want to tell Phil that Scotland is not part of “the Mainland”? He may be unaware that all of Great Britain is an island. Dude…get a map.

I suppose I should do more research or, at least, watch the whole posted video before I utter a reaction. Perhaps, I should have done that before I allowed my view to be prejudiced by all of the comments. At least, he’s not trying to DENY ( how could he with the internet?) or omit his gay porn past. I remember his porn videos. Who can forget those tattoos? I don’t know if I should feel disappointed, irritated, offended or just indifferent. I’ve heard speeches from other men’s rights activists that I did NOT consider off the deep end. So, I’ll wait and see or I’ll simply forget about it.
cctv
Scott Rudin is the real villain.

My favorite thing about this anti-gay gay porn stars is that absolutely nobody in this whole great big wild world cares what they think about anything. Barely anyone will ever record a statement or idea they ever had. But probably millions of people will have seen them get stuffed. And that’s the only thing there will ever be. So everyone rea of this article looked up his porn when they read this headline and they’ll only remember that

With you on this, man…all the way
Karrnal
So ironic that he’s a hairdresser.
GayisPermanent
Yeah,…Umm that’s an indisputable and thundering NO. No one “forces” you to tell everyone your gay..at 32. All these ridiculous comparisons on here of him supposedly “turning straight” to coming out, with zero recognition of the fact that being gay isn’t a decision like some childish thought trends would have you believe. Gay is not a mood, It is a state of being. Coming out is telling people you are gay because you can’t continue to live a lie anymore. It is not a recipe ingredient or tempting idea. No one forces you to come out, no one forces you to do countless movies where your penis is as hard as a rock while you get pummeled in nearly All of them with joy glowing in your face. From my ex roommate porn director, my friends who were porn actors with Rating Stallion, current porn director friends at Rating Stallion, and Him coming on to me at a burger joint after filming while he was in town, I can tell ya first hand, he is GAY. My porn actor friend was taking care of me after my knee surgery and we hobbled me on crutches to Custom Burger on 7th..a stones throw from Raging Stallion. I didn’t realized my friend had a crush on me…Mr. Tanzar walks in … smelling quite nice I’ll admit, … if you like that sort of thing from men… and he walked over to talk to me. He was so forward that my friend got pissed off and wanted to leave. So let’s see: proud bottom, into men’s smells(women do not have these), 50+ porn movies, and asked me out after giving me his number in front of another guy. Hmm..

So if he is so anti-porn, newly heterosexual and supportive of “family values”, how come his website is still up and you can easily go watch him gleefully get porked balls-deep?
I used to think he was really hot, but being an obvious idiot has a way of eroding sex appeal.
too bad he didn’t simply keep his mouth shut and fade into obscurity.

I never heard him say he was ex gay, he would correct people when they called him that. He was adamant that he was now bisexual not ex gay. Even though he is with a woman he said he still is attracted to men.
