Last year at Phoenix Forum, Gary asked me to moderate a panel designed to give straight companies insights and contacts with the gay adult industry.
Not a single straight webmaster showed!
LOL! At the end of the day "fear and loathing" are probably the real reasons that the average straight company will not attend gay boards or sponsored events.
I remember panelling with Lisa (BadPuppy) at another PF and polling the crowd for gay webmasters who attend "straight events" (tonnes of hands in the air) then asking the reverse of the straight webmasters (no hands in the air).
They want the money, but more often than not are terrified to leave their comfort zone and get involved enough to make solid partnership.
I'm gratified to see a few other posters on this thread who, like me, are either straight or work for a predominantly straight company and are actively participating in and supporting this community.
Cheers Guys!
Mary
