Since they don’t teach us schools, porn is where gay men get their sex education. And judging by the nominees this year, the saying “you’re never too old to learn” will send us all back to class.
The Grabby Awards – it’s that time again.
The gay glitterati will be gathering on Saturday, May 26th, 2018 at Metro Theater in Chicago to prove once again that winners and sinners are not mutually exclusive.
There are always a few nods that leave you scratching your head, but this year’s roundup truly does recognize the best – and many of the performers and performances we’ve covered last year here at The Sword.
A complete list of nominees can be found here. We’ll be taking a closer look at the categories between now and the awards. But for now, a shout out to the home team for the staggering 91 nominations for the Naked Sword/Falcon Studios Group …
