It’s been another incredible year for queer porn! We’ll return to the regular Weekly Updates soon, but first, let’s take a look at some of the highlights of 2011!
- NEW SITES & COMPANIES -
Madison Young’s Feminist Porn Network launched just over a year ago, starting with her collaboration with Maxine Holloway, The Woman’s POV! Since then, the Network has added Perversions of Lesbian Lust and the very new Femifist!
This was also the first full year that Courtney Trouble & Tina Horn’s QueerPorn.tv has graced the internet with its presence! The site celebrated its first anniversary just a couple of months ago with the launch of a brand new clip store and one full day of the entire site being free to non-VIP members!
With the launch of QueerPorn.tv came the first queer tube site of primarily user-uploaded content, QueerPornTube!
Sophia St. James launched her own Portland-based porn company, SSJ Entertainment! They started off the year with the launch of Twisted Getaway (which we reviewed HERE)!
T-Wood launched its sister site/company, the gender-inclusive Dolores Park Studios! Their first feature-length release, Queerly SF: Brunch Bunch was reviewed by us HERE.
In order to unite her empire of porn, Courtney Trouble created TROUBLEfilms, starting with the release of her most recent work, Live Sex Show (reviewed HERE)!
- GAY (PORN) MARRIAGE -
Good Queer Porn wants to congratulate both of the big porn company couples of 2011!
QueerPorn.tv & Smitten Kitten
Pink & White Productions & Good Releasing
We can feel the love radiating from your Queer Sex Ed videos and classic P&W Productions DVD releases!
On a more personal relationship note, big congrats to the birth of Madison Young’s beautiful daughter, Emma!
- ROAD TRIPS! -
Good Dyke Porn started 2011 with a road trip to Seattle, shooting two back-to-back scenes while we were there! The first featured Dylan Ryan & Sophia St. James, followed by another starring Montgomery and myself, Charlie Spats!
Several porn stars made their way to Evergreen State College in Oregon for a full week dedicated to porn-related workshops and awareness! These workshops were broadcasted live online for international viewers, with Courtney Trouble fielding questions on behalf of the internet. Brilliant!

- MILESTONES & NOTABLE SCENES -
Not only did Bren Ryder capture the intimacy of insemination between two female-bodied partners for Good Dyke Porn, but she also transformed her Seminal Sex scene into a documentary for a screening at the Vancouver Queer Film Fest!
Crash Pad Series reached a whopping 100 episodes! To celebrate, Big Time Legend Nina Hartley paired up with queer superstar Jiz Lee! (These two are also featured together in Live Sex Show!)
Maggie and Ned Mayhem are arguably the hottest and nerdiest porn couple since, well, ever. QueerPorn.TV managed to capture their exceptional sex life on camera for us all to see!
Real-life couples always look the hottest on screen. Heavenly Spire posted this magnificent video of James Darling and Quinn Valentine frolicking in underwear among feathers! (This scene was reviewed for Valentine’s Day HERE.)
- EVENTS & CAUSES -
The queer porn community frequently unites over political causes, especially feminism, gay/trans/queer equality, and sex-positivity. This year, queer porn has fought for:
Keeping Lyon-Martin Health Services open (click HERE for Jiz Lee’s blog)
Occupy Wall Street (click HERE for our list of queer Occupiers)
The right to fist in porn (click HERE to look at the International Fisting Day tumblr)
- CHARLIE SPATS’ DEBUT! -
That’s right, this has been a big year for me! Since last January, I’ve been in my first three scenes (two for Good Dyke Porn, one for QueerPorn.tv), and now I’m getting ready to head to the AVN Awards on Good Dyke Porn’s behalf!
Because this is such an exciting anniversary, I’m taking advantage of the opportunity to link to my own work. Watch my sexiest 2011 accomplishments HERE!!
Happy New Year, queerios! Let’s have an even better 2012!
