LOS ANGELES—The Gay Republic, a news, entertainment and gossip outlet founded by a former gay adult performer, has made history by becoming the first blog to be launched by a performer-turned-blogger to win Best Porn Blog at the 19th Grabby Erotic Video Awards.
The Gay Republic is helmed by award-winning model/casting director/producer Rob Romoni, who has created a media outlet that transcends the gay adult industry. The Gay Republic doesn’t analyze trends but sets them, which may just be why the blog has become so popular since its launch in 2013. The Gay Republic doesn’t shy away from topics such as race discrimination, cyberbullying, and sexual harassment, and has become one of the industry’s biggest advocates for change within the industry. Rob Romoni has stated, “The industry and fans must be frustrated with other websites that point a finger and then do nothing about these issues. If you represent the industry, have the balls to help create change, and if you fake it, I’ll call you out on it, every time.”
Additionally, The Gay Republic offers exclusive details on new releases, directors' notes and commentary, newcomer stories, behind the scenes, photos and interviews, while having been called by some the industry’s best source for accurate and real-time updates.
“There was a gap that The Gay Republic filled within the gay porn industry for models, directors, and producers to be given a vehicle to strip down barriers without a venomous infused attack. Models and studios are seeking out The Gay Republic for that reason every day,” according to Romoni. “Change is occurring within the industry, and remaining in touch with the models and studios, staying relevant and interjecting a unique sense of humor without damaging performers' personal lives has made The Gay Republic an award-winning blog. I’m grateful for the industry and fans' overwhelming support.”
TheGayRepublic.com is working on several new projects with guest writers, fans speaking out, model documentaries, which will reveal the industry as never before, and more—and maybe even an awards show in the future.
