The Castro was at capacity despite the rain, and the establishment maintained crowd control by herding people who needed air into the side alleys. Little did I think that when I took a breather from the hours-long awards ceremony, one of the gay-porn stars - or, actually, a ' gay-for-pay' porn star - would nearly take Kathy seriously and cross the lines of play-flirting to wake me from my Big Gay Al's reverie. I was in total agreement - We were the few! The proud! The girls! All those glamorous hot men smiling at me and getting me drinks and complimenting me - and none of them poised to do more than flirt shamelessly and whisper sexily in my ear that I had matched the right purse with my outfit.
