YNOT – The Memorial Day weekend in the U.S. traditionally is a time to honor heroes. In the world of gay porn, a good number of those heroes have sex with each other on screen. Therefore, it seems appropriate that every Memorial Day weekend, Chicago becomes a four-day gay porn paradise, with parties and special events including the Grabby Awards and the International Mr. Leather competition running for four continuous days.

The 2011 Grabby Awards took place Saturday at the Park West Theatre. The winners:
