  • Keep. AVN, a green-level RS at RSP, covered him in [https://avn.com/business/articles/gay/will-clark-s-porno-bingo-poised-to-reach-100k-goal-369033.html this article] where they wrote the subject had raised over $500,000 for LGBT charities , and then an additional $100k for NYC LGBT nonprofits by 2009. They also wrote about when Clark was the subject of a spotlight series honoring him for his work in the gay adult industry ([https://avn.com/business/articles/gay/bijou-theater-to-shine-spotlight-on-will-clark-55577.html here]). Edge Media Network called him "once a big name in the industry" and said he won a Grabby Award for Performer of the Year Award with Cole Tucker along with "a host of other awards" ([https://www.edgemedianetwork.com/story.php?106024 here]). Other awards have included awards from the Gay/Lesbian Anti-Violence Project, United for the Ride, and New York's Imperial Court ([https://www.windycitytimes.com/lgbt/IML-2014-Judges/47418.html here]). The latter source from Windy City Times also said by 2014, Clark had raised "millions" for LGBT charities. His views were included in Shira Tarrant's book New Views on Pornography ([https://books.google.com/books?id=pbFoBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA385&lpg=PA385&dq=%22will+clark%22+gay+AIDS&source=bl&ots=yg2N7IrwAh&sig=ACfU3U3GSl5mMen4NqFqJkiho6AASWdxJg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjH5O7a6rv5AhVpIzQIHSl0AEI4MhDoAXoECBgQAw#v=onepage&q=%22will%20clark%22%2e here]). In his book Award-Winning Men: Up Close and Personal with Gay Honorees, Ed Karvoski covers Clark in a three-page biography ([https://books.google.com/books?id=VmcDDi3qN8YC&pg=PA41&lpg=PA41&dq=%22will+clark%22+gay+AIDS&source=bl&ots=7pWKb8flu3&sig=ACfU3U0duhFarGi4vtXijHbrSwFrDgzzgw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjH5O7a6rv5AhVpIzQIHSl0AEI4MhDoAXoECBcQAw#v=onepage&q=%22will%20clark%22%20ge here]). He covered an issue of The Advocate ([https://www.amazon.com/Will-Clark-Hightower-Secrets-Stars/dp/B01E4Z6FRS here]). The Advocate also called him an "adult video luminary" and Out called him a "porn veteran" (snippets [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22will+clark%22+gay+porn&rlz=1C1CHZN_enUS1014US1015&sxsrf=ALiCzsbbqP3_5rN0HnHDRr8YwtQS3qXgRQ:1660120009484&source=lnms&tbm=bks&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwijnMz77Lv5AhWcIzQIHQpNBU84WhD8BSgBegQIARAL&biw=1920&bih=929&dpr=1 here]). --Kbabej (talk) 08:30, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
