Kathy Griffin, Dozens Of Gay Porn Stars, And Hundreds Of Fans Take Over Hollywood At The Str8UpGay Summit
The Str8UpGay Summit concluded today with Kathy Griffin delivering a rousing and, of course, hilarious speech to dozens of gay porn stars, hundreds of fans, studios, and gay adult industry leaders at the W Hotel Hollywood. Griffin, with discussion moderator Shane Michael Singh, addressed many of the political and cultural issues the LGBTQ community faces in the Trump era, with a focus on First Amendment rights, and a reminder of how important it is to vote, not just every four years in presidential elections, but every two years and every one year in your local elections.

One more clip of Kathy Griffin:
I’m somehow still (partially) functioning on three hours of sleep, like half of a weird salad from Trader Joe’s, and several cold brews—but the weekend is nowhere near over yet, obviously. The 2020 Str8UpGayPorn Awards, presented by ManyVids and hosted by Kathy Griffin, are about 24 hours from now, and they’ll be streamed live here on Str8Up beginning at 7pm tomorrow night.
