25.5 Are there any gay resources on the 'Net?
Tim Evanson tells me that "there are no gay databases on-line
anywhere that I know of. The only databases of gay bios that I
know of are in print: The yearly edition of the Adam Film World
Directory of Gay Video, and the annual Bijou Guide. The Adam Guide
tends to list brief bios and critical comments about current (or
very famous retired) gay porn stars along with a picture (usually
nude and erect). However, in recent years the Adam Guide has
failed to list more than a few of the actor's most recent films.
There are also glaring omissions in its directory.
The Bijou Guide is a nonpictorial listing of almost all gay porn
stars, past and present. Near-complete filmographies of stars are
included, and few stars are omitted, no matter how few films they
made. Stars are also cross-referenced under alternative names (a
common occurrence in gay porn, where actors change spellings and
names frequently).
Both the Adam Guide and Bijou Guide list gay porn films with cast,
director, studio, and brief critical review and plot synopsis. The
Adam Guide has, in recent years, tended to include only films
released within the past 12 to 18 months, plus a very few classic
films. Bijou is far more complete, but not pictorial.
The Bijou Guide is $14.95 (no S&H; CA residents add $1.23 sales
