Best Gay Blog 12



Men of Color was begun as an effort to put together a gay adult website devoted to men of color by its owner. The owner (Victor) took some recent inheritance money to fund the effort which includes not only a blog – but also a great deal of photo and video entertainment in its parent site. The blog, however, which is solely being rated here, is in large part a compilation of other site findings that fall into the theme of his desires and interests (and yes, sometimes just plain “wasp” porn). As a result, many of the sites he has found are from various places all over the world and are quite a diverse selection for those not just interested in twink white boys (Mexican, African- American, Asian, and Chinese among others). Unfortunately, we found that a few of the links in the recent articles were dead links. The remaining working links bring you oftentimes to other quality adult websites with some very hot men.

Men of Color started posting to the web in January of 2005. He has been sharing his feelings and thoughts of politics and gay and porn related news since then. He also has included a quote of the week to share with his large readership. Men of Color does not have the most unique design, although it is very professional and clean. It has a very effective search engine (using freefind.com) that allows you to find whatever topic you would like on the blog.


I encourage you to read the interaction between Victor and Michael Lucas in August 2005. It is regarding an exchange of emails about a legal dispute between Michael Lucas and Dark Alley Media where Victor was trying to get a response to the story. The exchange ends with Victor emailing Michael, “You are a(n) petulant child.”


Victor does talk a fair bit in his entries about the porn industry from a first hand perspective. If you are at all interested in the industry, I would encourage you to add MOC to your blog list. Other recent topics include an evaluation of the future of porn, sex with an Iraqi, and pulling Towleroad.
