2009 Grabby AwardsThis year’s nominees for the Grabby Awards–which round out the ever-glamorous gay porn awards season with a ceremony/party in Chicago, two months after the GayVN Awards–have been announced!

Jason Sechrest and Angel Benton Hate Each Other Now

Jason Sechrest VS Angel Benton: A FeudLiza Minnelli and David Gest’s divorce was bad, but the bitter feud between Liza’s perma-tanned doppelganger, Jason Curious, and his ex-bestie, Angel Benton, is worse. The two porn PR mavens bared their well-painted claws in a series of vitriolic blog posts of the type normally reserved for lesbian starlets.

Selections from The Sword 100

You just know Ian McKellan dreads that phone call every year. “Hello, Sir Ian? It’s Out Magazine. Guess what?! You’ve been selected to be on the Out 100 for the eleventh year running!!”

Mr. Pam Gets Misty-Eyed Over Pee-Play on Fire Island

IN-Mr-Pam-Wolf-Hudson-Lucas.jpg

The muppets may have taken on Manhattan, but Hurricane Pam has taken on Fire Island, and it’s likely never to be the same again.

“I just shot the most beautiful watersports scene on the bay side of the island, against the setting sun,” she called to tell us. “It was so romantic.”

Screencap Sexpot: ZOMG Anderson’s New Boyfriend!

CS-AndersonsNewBFTh.jpg

Anderson Cooper is dating some randomheimer actor named Jonathan Chase! Pardon us if we’re a little excited about this story, as it has all the elements we obsess over: A closeted celeb, softcore porn, an amazing ass and Another Gay Movie!

Deep Breaths: It’s Our Big! Gay! Pride! Weekend Guide to NY & SF

GC-NySfChiPrideGuideTH.jpg

Thirty-nine years ago this weekend, the NYPD fucked with the wrong bunch of fags and trannies, giving way to four decades of civil rights fights, the invention of circuit parties, a boon for balloon artists and flag dancers, a bonafide industry dedicated to the manufacture of tacky beads and rainbow-patterned swimwear, and an excuse for every lesbigaytranny on two legs to get drunk or high one extra weekend a year in the name of freedom. (Our apologies to the sober ones-this weekend must be especially difficult.) It’s Mardi Gras without the showgirls (biological). It’s here. We’re queer. Where’s our drink?

Frameline; Or How Calling It a Film Festival Makes Your Porno Look Like Art

MM-Bramadero-Frameline.jpg Gay indie film directors may aim higher than porn, but they shoot ’em just the same. In the 80s and early 90s, the characters in gay films tackled AIDS and coming out; about a decade ago, they began tackling each other. Take the closing night film of last year’s Frameline LGBT Film Festival in San Francisco, Shelter. Beneath all that tender coming of age surfer drama lay a sexy cross-generational flesh fest, with more titty than a copy of Playgirl.

Twenty Cinematic Arguments That Suggest AfterElton.com Is A Lonely Gay Computer with an Abercrombie Mousepad

ShowgirlsTH.jpg

It’s not that we don’t love pandering indie stories about AIDS and parades but honestly, when we saw Brent Hartinger’s list yesterday on AfterElton.com of “The 20 Greatest Gay Movies of All-Time,” we promptly slunk back into the closet to shoot up and (hopefully) OD. BORING!  While we know that everyone has an opinion, the complete lack of representation of Warhol (Reason 1) and John Waters (Reason 2) made us sadder than one of the maudlin broken hearted twinks from the coming-of-age
pablum AfterElton seems to favor.

‘Brothers & Sisters’ Luke MacFarlane Comes Out Of The Closet, Which Means Wentworth Miller Is Totally Gay

CS-wentluke.jpg

Television actor Luke MacFarlane (Brothers & Sisters) made headlines this week when he emerged from his four-door glass closet, leaving Prison Break‘s Wentworth Miller safely inside, with the child locks on, in a bucket hat.

“‘I don’t know what will happen professionally,” he told Canada’s Globe & Mail, speaking openly about his faggotry for the first time ever. “That is the fear, but I guess I can’t really be concerned about what will happen, because it’s my truth.”

Let us break it down for you as simply as we can: MacFarlane was photographed with Grey’s Anatomy’s T.R. Knight. Shortly thereafter, Knight was outed by a gay slur and came out to the public. Next, still-closeted MacFarlane was photographed with Prison Break‘s Wentworth Miller driving, and again the next morning (in the previous night’s outfits) during the summer of 2007, before coming out of the closet just recently. On next week’s episode of this homosexual TV clusterfuck, Wentworth Miller has a secret he’d like to share, and we’re all ears, and eyes, and lips-and okay-we’re on all fours. A photo history of Luke’s bromances (minus the ‘b’) after the jump.

Friday Porn Quiz: Porn Blogger Edition

IN-PornQuizRjDanversTH.jpg

Getting inside the mind-as well as the pants-of a porn star is something we’ve all longed for once or twice, and with these new things called blogs we all have the chance to hear stories directly from the models’ own mouths fingers, sometimes daily.  As loyal Sword readers should know, RJ Danvers, Diesel Washington and Erik Rhodes are all avid bloggers, while many other stars like Steve Cruz, Francois Sagat and Brent Corrigan also dabble as online diarists. If you’ve been paying attention to the sometimes sordid, always amusing musings of the porn elite, this week’s quiz should be a snap. The first email we get with all correct answers will receive a month of free porn on NakedSword. To quote Spaceballs: Do your worst.

Gay Porn Mid-Terms! Our First Quarter Quiz

IN-PornQuizTH.jpgWhen it comes to matters of the flesh, it’s been an eventful spring. We know that spring break is over for most of you (assuming that any of you, dear readers, are actually young enough to enjoy it), but we’re hoping that the time off from the books has given everyone a chance to catch up on the three months of arrests, awards and AndroGel patches that you might have missed. Do you know Erik Rhodes from Eric Hanson? Can you sing all the words to “I Wanna Teabag You?” The most number of correct answers wins free porn from Michael Lucas and first runner-up, a one-month membership on NakedSword.com.

EXCLUSIVE!: Sword Leaks Grabby Nominations

IN-2008GrabbysTH.jpg

Thanks to a few well-placed handjobs and a bottle of Kahlua, we’ve weaseled our way into Grabby headquarters and stolen the list of nominees that’s scheduled to be published tomorrow. We started to tally the studio with the most noms, the movie with the most noms and the studio with the most movies and, well, wait… what were we saying? Sorry, we totally fell asleep. It doesn’t really matter since there’s enough noms here for each studio to spin, Bush-style, an edge up on the competition. By noon tomorrow, everyone will be in the lead.

Match The Porn Star With His Baby Pic

IN-BabyPicTH.jpg

We thought it would be funny to send out an email to some of our porn star friends asking them to send us their baby pictures. We thought it would be funny because we were drunk at the time. We didn’t think anyone would write back. When they did (some, like, the very next day) we thought maybe we could be onto something. Maybe the only thing we’re onto is shaky ground for putting up pictures of porn stars next to pictures of toddlers—but hey, it just goes to show you that we were all sweet, innocent babies once. Or something.

GayVNs 2008: More, More, More! (Drunks, Drag, Tans)

Tory170.jpg

Two+ hours and countless fart jokes later, the 2008 GayVNs are over. While Derek and Romaine were limited to a five-minute intro due to bad press and an industry revolt, Lady Bunny hammed it up with Laugh-In segments and Benny Hill-style humor. High-larious. GRUNTS and Link were the big winners, but before we go back to our regularly scheduled pornography, we offer this uncensored look at the highlights of the best award show we’ve seen in awhile. Award highlights:
Best Videography: Brian Mills, H20
Best Director: Chris Ward and Ben Leon, GRUNTS
Best Picture: GRUNTS, Raging Stallion
Performer of the Year: Jake Deckard
Best Sex Comedy: The Intern, Lucas Entertainment
Best All-Sex: Link: The Evolution

Ben Andrews to Playgirl: I Love Perky Tits!

IN-BenAndrewsPlaygirlTH.jpg According to the April 2008 issue of Playgirl, butt-humping porn star Ben Andrews loves perky tits, picnics in Central Park and the feel of a woman’s body. In true Playgirl tradition, the well-hung star of Gigolo, The Intern and Cruising Budapest doesn’t mention that he’s gay, although the breathless text (“Yes, that Ben Andrews!” they squeal) does note his appearances in Inches and Freshmen. This falls somewhere on the believability scale between a steam-room cruiser’s wedding ring and Tom Cruise marrying that Dawson’s Creek girl.

The Sword Guide to Fucking Like A Pornstar

OP-SwordGuideFuckingPornStarPBhp.jpg If conventional wisdom were true, and porn stars were all unrestrained, sex-addicted animals, they’d have fucked you already. Not so fast, whore-monger. We sat down with five stars to talk about what gets them hard, who wins their heart and what the challenges of finding romance as a public sex figure.

“I look at your face. I look at your ass. If those two things look good, I’m on you,” says Raging Stallion’s Jake Deckard.  Is this news to his boyfriend of ten years? Hardly. The detailed rules and regulations the two have established have keeps Jake sated and his boyfriend unwavering in his devotion. In the Lazy Susan-esque sexcapades of polyamory, everybody wins.

Not everyone is so traditional.

The Sword Presents: The Week in Gay Photos

GC-WeekInPicturesStaphHP.jpg

We know: gay visibility is still tragically lacking in mainstream media. Queen Latifah and Gayken remain total liars, the only presidential candidate that openly supports gay marriage claims to have seen a U.F.O., and despite the fact that the characters in blockbuster-du-jour, Cloverfield, are caterwauling around Soho and midtown for the majority of the movie, there are no homos in sight! But thanks to the trusty internet and the technology that has citizen journalism on a one-way track to total media domination, visibility online is not only present and accounted for, it’s blinding. We actually feel sort of violated. After the jump, check out the Top 10 gay photos of the past week.

GayVN Nominations Announced

gayvnthumb.jpg

This may be the first year that the GayVNs best the Golden Globes in viewership, and we couldn’t be more pleased: not only has our industry’s little fete grown in recent years, the clothes are more exciting. No offense to Valentino Garavani or Domenico Dolce, but porn star fashion — with it’s reliance on mesh, mess and meth — is infinitely more exciting. We’ve got 35 days until we can bring you the new Spring Collection, so until then, here are the nominations …
