Milo Miles: Banned at the Border EP 769
This week on TAGS LIVE, Host Steve V and Kodi Maurice Doggette welcomes adult performer and content creator Milo Miles for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about queer visibility, adult work, stigma, travel, privacy, and what happens when your identity and profession are used against you.
Milo Miles recently made headlines after being detained by U.S. Customs while traveling from Toronto to Las Vegas and receiving a reported 10-year ban from entering the United States. LGBTQ Nation reported that Milo was held for hours, questioned about his sexuality and work, and later spoke out about the emotional and professional impact of the experience.
In this episode, Milo joins Steve V and Kodi to discuss what happened, how it changed his relationship with travel and safety, and why queer people — especially those in adult entertainment or sex-adjacent work — are still forced to navigate shame, surveillance, and double standards.
Steve and Milo also get into the bigger conversation around adult performers, respectability politics, personal privacy, chosen family, relationships, and the courage it takes to keep showing up publicly when the world tries to reduce you to one part of your story.
