Porn

Some gay male porn film favorites never quite make it to mainstream awards shows.

For every Brokeback Mountain and Chicago that rack up a slew of noms come Oscar time, there’s equally gripping fare (literally) like Fraternity Gangbang 2 or Fist and Shout that fail to reach the Academy’s esteemed members. But porn videos have their moment this weekend at the 17th Grabby Awards, Chicago’s annual salute to gay porn. The legendary porn director Chi Chi (pronounced “she she”) LaRue hosts the 17th Grabby Awards.
