Meet GOC – AOC’s ‘hot, gay rave-hosting little brother’:

She’s the progressive firebrand who divides the left and is hated by the right, but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might not be most outspoken member of her family. 

Gabriel Ocasio-Cortez, was described as AOC’s ‘hot, gay, rave-hosting little brother,’ in a fawning article published Saturday by The Cut.  

Self-described anti-capitalist Gabriel, 28, who is partially deaf, is also an aspiring musician, promoter, an advocate for the deaf and hard-of-hearing and a former real-estate agent who does not shy away from controversy.

‘I think that the Democratic party is so bought and paid for. I think both parties are, to be extremely clear. But trust: corporate America succeeds regardless of who exactly wins. It is just perhaps different sectors,’ Gabriel told Interview magazine last year.

AOC was elected to New York’s 14th congressional district in 2018 becoming the youngest congresswomen to ever serve (Pictured: AOC being sworn into office at the Capitol on January 3, 2019 (L-R) Nancy Pelosi, Blanca Ocasio-Cortez, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Gabriel Ocasio-Cortez)

‘You need to get corporate money out of politics altogether, and then people are actually going to see politicians running on actual stances that affect our communities because the communities are going to be the number one priority.’

AOC, 32, shot to fame when the young progressive beat out incumbent high-ranking congressman Joe Crowley to represent New York’s 14th district. 

Since AOC was elected, Gabriel- or GOC- has been changing and becoming more high-profile. 

He left real-estate because ‘I could not post open houses … People would wait outside, and it got to a point where it was genuinely overwhelming,’ he told Interview. 

GOC, 28, was forced to leave his job and turned to advocacy work after his sister won and now works for a homeless shelter, helps families find housing, and founded the Deaf Collection, a nonprofit with a focus on Deaf queer talent.

GOC says he was forced to leave his real-estate business after his sister was elected 

GOC admitted that he suspected and feared that his life would change dramatically after he nominated his sister for a Congressional bid: ‘I remember thinking to myself: this could f**k s**t up.’

He was worried that his sister’s new position would be a threat to his safety and his real-estate business- which is was. 

When AOC was first elected he received a call from the FBI telling him not to open his mail because people were mailing bombs. He worked as much as possible to save up before finally having to end his real-estate business. 

‘It was what I had projected as my worst-case scenario,’ he said, but he stands by his decision to nominate his sister saying it was worth all the negative repercussions. 

Before AOC was in office, GOC ‘never felt represented in government’ and ‘never felt cared about by the system.’

However, the self-described anti-capitalist is still very skeptical of the government and politics. 

‘I think that the Democratic party is so bought and paid for. I think both parties are, to be extremely clear. But trust: corporate America succeeds regardless of who exactly wins. It is just perhaps different sectors,’ he said. 

‘You need to get corporate money out of politics altogether, and then people are actually going to see politicians running on actual stances that affect our communities because the communities are going to be the number one priority.’

He has since turned to advocacy work and hosting parties in New York City

But he doesn’t say no when asked if he plans to run for office for one day, simply saying that the question is ‘interesting.’

GOC continued: ‘I would never want to win an election just because of my last name. And I do not want to encourage and further set the precedent of family dynasties in politics.

‘For me, it is about getting people into more of a mindset to create organizations.’ 

For now, GOC is sticking to his advocacy work and new gig as an New York City queer party host/ promoter.

He lost half his hearing when he was a teenager which lead him to become a deaf and hard-of-hearing advocate: ‘considering we outnumber the queer community, we should strive to get to their level of representation,’ he says.

GOC has even been able to combine his advocacy work and his party hosting skills. 

The Cut reported that when planning a queer rave earlier this month, he requested ‘a light on the dance floor that pulses to the beat of the music’ and got light-up drink menus. 

His recent profile for The Cut said: ‘He possesses the same charm as his sister, though he’s a bit goofier and occasionally braggadocious, if not downright cocky.’

Reporter Brock Colyar spent the night with GOC at one his queer hosting gigs, and portrayed him as a very sex-positive and flirty person who quickly bounces from conversations about abolition education to trying to get his fashion designer friends into his parties.  

During the party he reportedly broke into an ‘inspired’ speech about political organizing and activism: ‘It’s the little changes, it’s the changes that aren’t even noticeable, that you wouldn’t think would invite people in. 

‘They teach people: If you wanna make it hurt, hurt their wallets. But it’s like, if you want to make a point, also use their wallet. It works two ways.’

Along with his career path, his Instagram has slowly changed since his sister was elected in 2018. 

Photos of art and peaceful shots of nature have changed into images with celebrities like Cardi B, Adam Lambert, and Bowen Yang and professional pictures from his interviews with Interview Magazine, Pop Sugar, and The Cut.
