GayVN Awards

Category: In the News, Porn, Books & Videos, Kuono | Written by: Kuono |

The GayVN (much like parent AVN) recognizes outstanding titles in the Gay genre of Adult Films. Though this still means that Lesbian (read ‘Dyke’ not ‘girl/girl’ for the male gaze) and Trans (read FTM) films and studios continue to be underground, the event at least sheds some spotlight to the gay male pornographers, most of whom do their work in our fair city of San Francisco.

Though I had my fingers (heh) crossed for Trannywood Pictures, Buck Angel, and Audacia Ray’s Bi Apple (which had a lovely soiree at the Center for Sex and Culture pre Award Ceremony)… the winners have been announced.
