In straight porn, the pay for men is notoriously lower than the pay for women, so "gay porn in general make a lot more than straight porn," Damian McKnight, the CEO and producer of the successful gay-for-pay site Broke Straight Boys, told the Daily Dot last year. Though the cable special is just coming out now, gay-for-pay porn is a fairly well-established phenomenon.

The night also marked the first time that a Black performer won Best Actor with DeAngelo Jackson winning for his work in Icon Male's Blended Family. Considering Vegas Nights won Best Feature at the GayVNs, Best Picture at the Str8UpGayPorn Awards, in addition to Best Group and Best Movie at the Grabbys, he’s certainly going out on a high note! When the Helix Studios team went up to accept Best Feature for Vegas Nights, Kyle Ross announced that the show “may be” his last time on stage as he plans to retire from filming, to work on the corporate side of the business.
