GayVNs handed to the best of the best

This past weekend the 2010 GayVN Awards were handed out at the historic Castro Theatre.

The dress was very casual for some. Steven Daigle, a former contestant from CBS' 'Big Brother,' came on stage  wearing nothing but a strategically placed cowboy hat.

"I was really nervous about what to wear, so they told me to wear what a cowboy would," he joked as he moved the hat up and down seductively.

The night was hosted by gay comedian Alec Mapa. "Bruce Villanch, ladies and germs. Bruce Villanch. Talk about your high ends and low ends," he joked. "One minute you're hob-nobbing at the Academy Awards with Julia Roberts, and now you're here in this room full of cocksuckers. ... Not that Julia Roberts has never sucked a cock."

Of course, the night was ultimately about celebrating the best in gay porn.

Taking home the Trailblazer Award, which was chosen by last year's winner Chi Chi LaRue, was Sharon Kane, who got her start in the industry in the 1970s with the philosophy of, "If you want to fuck it, stick it in," Chi Chi told the crowd.

Honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award was Pat Rocco, who started out in the mid-1960s making some of the first underground porn movies until he was discovered and his films were then shown in movie theaters. In addition to his work in the industry, he is also a gay rights advocate and community activist.
