Hollywood, CA— Str8UpGayPorn is proud to announce that OrbitalPay, the industry’s award-winning premium credit card processing company, has signed on as a Platinum sponsor for the inaugural Str8UpGayPorn Awards taking place live June 22nd in New York City and hosted by the one and only Sandra Bernhard. OrbitalPay joins a list of the industry’s biggest brands including Pornhub, Flirt4Free and FleshJack, in their support of Str8UpGayPorn’s first ever awards show.

With almost 20 years of experience under their belt, OrbitalPay, has become the premium name in processing for the adult industry by their unparalleled banking relationships and by providing financial technology in the form of direct merchant accounts, gateways, and customer service to some of the biggest names in gay porn including Corbin Fisher, BelAmi, and CockyBoys to name a few.

Steve Bryson, President of OrbitalPay says, “We absolutely love our gay clients and value our friendships and business relationships with the gay side of the industry. So when Davyd came to us about the awards show we were more than happy to support their vision to create a unique event in New York City that is unlike anything out there at the moment. By the looks of it, it’s going to be one hell of a night!”

In addition to being hosted by pop culture icon Sandra Bernhard, the 12 person judge panel for the awards is a who’s who of writers and editors outside of the adult industry who appear in outlets such as MTV, Billboard, Jezebel, PAPER Magazine, NY Times, MIC.com, and more coupled with some adult industry experts as well. Mainstream media outlets and a gaggle of New York City tastemakers and celebs are expected to be in attendance at the ceremony in addition to the biggest names in the world of gay adult entertainment.

Davyd Dixon, Co-owner of Str8UpGayPorn and Executive Producer of the ceremony says, “I want to say a huge thank you to OrbitalPay for their generous high value sponsorship at the Str8UpGayPornAwards. They have always been 100% supportive of the gay side of the industry and them contributing to the show in such a big way is a perfect example of that. Without amazing people like them in the industry we wouldn’t be able to execute our vision of creating such an extraordinary night and at the same time without strong credit card processing companies like OrbitalPay we wouldn’t even have an industry.

The Str8UpGayPorn awards will honor outstanding achievement in gay adult film; bringing performers, fans, and surprise celebrity guests together for one unforgettable night at New York City night life and concert venue, Stage 48, in Hell’s Kitchen. VIP tables, reserved seating, and tickets to the Str8UpGayPorn Awards will be announced next week.
