Blatino Awards Announce Nominees, Say “We Don’t Need You, Whitey”

There's Gay Pride, then there's Black Gay Pride. There's the Grabby Awards, now there's the inaugural Blatino Awards. They've announced their first batch o' nominees. But, does the world really need two separate Gay Porn Awards?

The answer: Yes! That is, until the Grabbys decide to include a little flavor in their almost homogeneous list of nominees, who lump the hundreds of ethnic videos under, well, "Best Ethnic." We dream of a day when gay white porn and gay black/latin/Asian porn can hold hands and just all get along. When Flava Works can sit down next to All Worlds Video and say, "Let's all make love together."

The public gets to cast their vote in the Blatino Awards until August 10. Wanna cast yours? Go here. Winners will get their groove on at a ceremony during Atlanta's Black Pride Celebration September 5.

Until sexy as hell studios like Rockafellaz and Latino Fan Club get the mainstream nods they deserve, these Awards drink from this fountain, and those Awards drink from that fountain.

P.S. Our dearest travelin' man Brian O'Brien will be titillated to see his Boyfriend Race Cooper made the list!
