Here Are The 2015 XBIZ Awards Nominations
You have to wonder why XBIZ even bothers including gay porn in their annual awards ceremony. Maybe it’s to appease the straight porn conglomerates (AEBN, MindGeek, etc.) that own some of the gay porn studios? Maybe it’s just professional courtesy? Maybe they don’t want to appear anti-gay? At any rate, here are the FOUR (yep, four!) gay categories in the 2015 XBIZ Awards, which are buried allllllllllllll the way down the page at the bottom of a list of literally 800 gazillion other categories.
These four gay categories were beneath far more important straight categories like “European Non-Feature Release Of The Year,” “Marketing Campaign Of The Year,” and “Best Music.” (On the bright side, it’s great to see nominees Evan Parker, Colby Keller, and Andrew Stark finally getting some love.) The ceremony is set for January 15th, which is two days after the Cybersocket Awards.
