After two years of hugely successful and groundbreaking shows that created a new standard in the gay adult industry, the 3rd annual Str8UpGayPorn Awards will be returning to Hollywood, CA on Sunday, January 12th 2020!
Str8UpGayPorn is also excited to announce that it is expanding the weekend to include the only Business-to-Business and Business-to-Consumer summit, the Str8UpGay Summit!
With so many conferences in adult entertainment taking place around the world today, the gay adult industry has been grossly underrepresented in the trade show circuit, even though gay adult entertainment is thriving. In their release today, Str8UpGay Porn said they believe that the one thing missing is a forum for the gay industry to truly connect with one another.
They will attempt to fill this void with the first of its kind Gay Summit. Taking place January 9th – 11th, the Str8UpGay Summit will bring together studios, conglomerates, models, lifestyle brands, advertisers, and the one thing missing from most trade shows, FANS!
For the first time ever, fans will be able to connect and meet with their favorite gay performers, studios, and brands in the flesh. Str8UpGay Summit will also bring out top industry decision makers and provide a stage where today’s trending topics can be discussed while providing authentic networking opportunities, all taking place at the spectacular W Hotel Hollywood.
Topping off an incredible weekend will be the 3rd annual Str8upGayPorn Awards on Sunday, January 12th, which will be live streamed to hundreds of thousands of fans around the world.
Str8UpGayPorn Co-founder Davyd Dixon says of the Summit, “After two years of hearing from top executives in the business tell me how they connected with one another at our awards show and ended up doing real business together, I thought – what if we expanded the weekend into something even bigger.”
He goes on to say, “The Str8UpGay Summit will be a meeting of the minds, in an elegant, creative, and sophisticated environment. This three day summit celebrates gay adult entertainment in all of its forms, with the goal of giving the gay industry the platform it has long deserved.”
Str8UpGayPorn will be rolling out announcements all September long, and we at TheSword will be following them!
“…even though gay adult entertainment is thriving”
lolwut. You guys need a reality check. Where do I even start? There’s just so much wrong with this single statement. Well, shall we talk about the fact that the vast majority of “gay” porn studios out there are straight-owned (NakedSword/Falcon among the others) ? The cotent said porn studios try to deliever don’t even come close to what genuine, homosexual fantasies are supposed to be represented (gay guy tricking random straight dude? Sex trafficking? Thinly velied pedophilia and incest? Rape? Please…)
Shall we talk about the fact that bigots and problematic individuals are allowed to say nasty things about this industry and the gay people that work there and STILL somehow they get to work because these studio don’t want to commit to do proper casting anymore? (I can name names if y’all would like)
Shall we talk about the fact that the newest studios that are launching recently don’t even produce their own content but instead need to outsource from other sites because they’re financially struggling? Even those that are straight-owned are having a rough time, so much so that they need to re-label scenes taken from one of its sister studios.
Shall we talk about the fact that the pay simply isn’t what it used to be because studios would rather give up creativity and effort and instead rely on a gimmick that on its own is meaningless (I see so many Treasure Island clones out there) ?
So give me a fucking break, stop treating the fans like we don’t have memory, I sure as fuck do have plenty of it and I’m tired.
