READ TIME: 3 MIN.
Adult performer, streamer, and bisexual visibility advocate Lane Vincent Rogers, widely known by his stage name Blake Mitchell, has died after a motorcycle crash in Oxnard, California, according to local authorities and industry reports. Rogers was 31.
According to initial information reported by entertainment outlet Marca, Rogers was riding a motorcycle in Oxnard, California, on 2025-12-15 when he collided with a box truck shortly before 16:00 local time. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene. As reported by Marca, authorities have stated there is currently no public evidence of additional contributing factors, and the investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
Queer news outlet Out magazine, which has reported on Rogers’ career and persona, has also noted the widespread shock within the adult entertainment community as word of his death spread online. Industry-focused social media accounts and fan communities on platforms such as X , Instagram, and Reddit have circulated condolences and memorial posts acknowledging the suddenness of the loss.
Rogers was born on 1994-08-14 in Kentucky, United States, and later became one of the most recognizable bisexual male performers in contemporary gay and bi male adult entertainment, according to biographical coverage from Marca. Under the name Blake Mitchell, he worked as an adult film actor, webcam model, and content creator on subscription-based platforms such as OnlyFans and appeared frequently as a Twitch streamer engaging directly with fans.
Reporting from Marca describes Rogers as having built a loyal following through his on-screen performances and his consistent online presence, where he often interacted in real time with viewers and followers. His blend of professional studio work and self-produced digital content reflected broader shifts in the adult industry toward creator-controlled platforms and direct-to-audience models, a trend also noted in broader coverage of adult performers by outlets such as Vice and Rolling Stone.
Marca reports that Rogers was openly bisexual and spoke candidly about his identity and experiences, with many fans viewing him as authentic and relatable. In a field where bisexual men and other LGBTQ+ identities often face erasure or stereotyping, his willingness to claim and discuss his bisexuality publicly resonated with audiences seeking more explicit bisexual representation.
LGBTQ+ organizations such as GLAAD and the Human Rights Campaign have documented persistent gaps in bisexual representation and unique challenges faced by bisexual people, including invisibility and stigma both inside and outside LGBTQ+ communities. Within this broader context, Rogers’ visibility as a bisexual man in adult entertainment is seen by commentators as contributing to cultural conversations about sexual fluidity and the diversity of queer desire.
Out magazine notes that tributes posted by colleagues and fans emphasize not only his on-screen career but also his reputation as a supportive friend and collaborator within the queer adult entertainment community. Many messages have highlighted his role in normalizing bisexual identity among male performers and viewers alike.
Mainstream coverage of adult performers’ deaths has historically been limited or sensationalized, a pattern examined by LGBTQ+ and sex-worker-rights publications such as The Advocate and OpenDemocracy. Advocates have argued that affirming and non-stigmatizing reporting is essential, particularly for LGBTQ+ performers whose work and lives intersect with broader struggles for bodily autonomy, labor rights, and queer visibility.
In line with this perspective, coverage of Rogers’ death in Marca has focused on his professional achievements, his advocacy for bisexual visibility, and personal qualities described by those who worked with him, rather than moral judgments about adult entertainment. The article characterizes him as a “supportive friend” and a “vocal advocate for bisexual visibility,” underscoring the ways his presence extended beyond performances to community and identity work.
Sex worker–led organizations and LGBTQ+ rights advocates have long emphasized the importance of recognizing adult performers as full members of queer communities whose contributions to culture and visibility are significant. In the wake of Rogers’ death, that recognition is reflected in the tone of many tributes, which remember him not only as a performer but as a bisexual man whose openness helped others feel seen.
As investigations into the Oxnard crash continue, fans and colleagues across social media and adult content platforms are using his stage name, Blake Mitchell, and real name, Lane V. Rogers, to share memories, artwork, and clips from his career, underscoring the lasting mark he leaves on queer adult entertainment and bisexual visibility.
