This New York pol has a secret BDSM past.
Chris Gallant, 37, the Democratic nominee running against Long Island Rep. Nick LaLota (R-NY) was previously involved in a very different kind of campaign: selling toys as a model for a fetish sex shop, The Post can reveal.
Gallant appeared in multiple pics for “Mr. S Leather,” a San Francisco-based purveyor of leather-daddy supplies, wearing collars, leather straps, neoprene, bondage gear, and more.
These images of Gallant are no longer on the store’s site, but are still accessible in internet archives, which show they were online between 2011 and 2020.
“The photographs are authentic and were taken during a private, consensual photo session involving Chris and his then-partner, with whom he was in a committed four-year relationship,” Gallant’s Los Angeles and New York-based attorney Sara Azari told The Post.
“Chris was also friends with the owner of Mr. S Leather, and the shoot was intended to be fun and personal, with the understanding that Mr. S could use select images in connection with certain products,” she added.
Azari is a nationally known, high-powered attorney who deals with a lot of reputation and sexual misconduct cases, having represented disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.)
“As Chris began considering a future in public service, he asked that the photographs no longer be used and that they be removed from the company’s website. Mr. S honored his request,” she continued.
Other images of Gallant in Mr. S Leather gear appear to have shown up on gay porn sites that do not appear to be affiliated with “Mr. S Leather.” But Azari explained that Gallant’s limited understanding with “Mr. S Leather” was “never intended to authorize unrestricted publication” by third parties.

It’s not a woman!
Dang it, I should’ve known not to look when I saw it was a Democrat!

Hmmm….. that’s so gay.
“..selling toys as a model for a fetish sex shop...”
That’s nothing but a resume enhancement for the communist party....they love this shite....
The man boobs are definitely gay too.
Thankfully the simpletons who run the Democrat party still haven’t gotten past the idea that no vetting beyond box checking should be employed in selecting candidates. Just checking the white and (allegedly) Straight boxes got them Tim Walz. Just checking the veteran box got them this guy and Graham Platner
They sure have a lot of PRIDE…right up to the time they need votes from normal people. Hypocrites.
