Link Lauren is a rising star in the world of social media and politics who is openly gay and has spoken about it many times in interviews and on his platforms, but there’s a lot more to him than that.
He’s a 26-year-old American TikTok influencer, musician, and political commentator. People often call him “Maga Malfoy” because of his blond hair and resemblance to the Harry Potter character Draco Malfoy.
He gained fame by mixing pop culture, conservative politics, and sharp commentary.
Link was born on September 8, 1999, and raised in Dallas, Texas. He grew up in a typical Southern environment, but he always had big dreams. In 2022, he graduated from New York University with a degree in music business and entertainment.
That education set the stage for his creative career. He started on TikTok by making original songs. His music caught some attention, but it was his shift to commenting on the British royal family that really boosted his following. He broke down royal dramas in a fun, relatable way, and fans loved it.
From there, Link’s content evolved into political commentary. He became known for covering conservative politics and interviewing long-shot presidential candidates. He’s been affiliated with figures like Marianne Williamson, Dean Phillips, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
In November 2023, Kennedy hired him as a paid senior advisor for his 2024 presidential campaign. The goal was to use Link’s TikTok savvy to reach younger voters.
According to the Washington Post, Link played a key role in organizing some of Kennedy’s most successful online campaigns. However, by May 2024, he had parted ways with the campaign. The reasons remain unknown, but it didn’t slow him down.
Today, Link has over 1 million followers on TikTok and 270,000 on Instagram. He hosts the podcast “Spot On with Link Lauren,” where he dives into current events with no-nonsense takes.
His style is direct and engaging. He doesn’t hold back on his views, especially when it comes to politics and culture.
For example, he went viral for telling CNN viewers to “calm down” about Donald Trump’s appearance on the network in 2023. That moment shifted his career toward more conservative-leaning content.
As for his personal life, Link is openly gay and proud of it
But he makes it clear that his sexuality doesn’t define him or his politics. In a Fox News interview, he said,
“When they say LGBT support for President Trump may have dipped a little bit in this last election, I’m not really sure because he has the support of most normal gays that I talk to, and most gay people are tired of being lumped in with the non-binary LGBTQIA R2D2 nonsense.”
He added,
“I don’t need to constantly feel like I’m part of this LGBTQ community and go out and wave a flag on Fifth Avenue as naked, non-binary people come traipsing down the street.”
Link often pushes back against identity politics. On Instagram, he wrote,
“I’ll never be bullied into voting for a candidate or party simply because of my sexuality. I’m gay, not braindead.”
He has shared glimpses of his relationship too. In a post, he introduced his boyfriend, saying, “
“I hope you’ll welcome him with open arms. If I love him, you know he’s a good guy. I’ve always been reticent to share my personal life online, but it feels disingenuous to keep hiding my relationship after this many years together.”
This shows he’s in a long-term relationship, but he keeps most details private.
His views on the LGBT community are straightforward. He criticizes what he calls the “rainbow cult” and victimhood mentality.
In a TikTok video about declining support for same-sex marriage, he explained that “normal gays” are tired of extreme activism. He said, “
“I’m not part of anyone’s community. I’m a grown ass man. I’m an individual who happens to be gay.”

On X (formerly Twitter), he defends himself against critics who say MAGA won’t accept him because he’s gay. He responds that people respect him for his authenticity and love for the country, not his sexuality.
Link has also weighed in on cultural issues. He slammed neopronouns as “nonsense” on Fox News. He supported a Netflix boycott over how it handles LGBTQ+ content.
And he called out Pride parades for turning into “clown shows” that push away “normal gays.” Despite his conservative leanings, he believes in free speech and common sense policies. He says Republicans offer that today, with less crime, secure borders, and economic growth.
In his podcast, Link covers everything from celebrity gossip to political scandals. Episodes like breaking down Barack Obama’s comments about a gay professor or ripping Gavin Newsom’s “first partner” post show his witty side. He’s not afraid to call out hypocrisy, no matter the side.
Link Lauren stands out because he’s real. He started as a musician, became a royal watcher, and now influences politics. Being openly gay in conservative circles hasn’t held him back.
Instead, it adds to his unique voice. Fans appreciate that he doesn’t play the victim or let labels limit him. Whether you agree with his politics or not, his journey from Dallas to TikTok fame is inspiring. If you’re curious, check out his TikTok or podcast. He’s always spot on.
