San Francisco [gaywired.com]- Who says porn doesn’t have a heart? This week Titan Media, one of the notable brands of gay adult erotica, announced that it was donating $25,000 to the Folsom Street Events and established the TitanMen fund which will provide grants to some of the most worthy gay oriented charities.
Folsom Street Events is a nonprofit organization which servers the adult San Francisco alternative communities through the production of street fairs, and promotes diversity within the leather/alternative lifestyle. Proceeds from the production of the fairs are distributed to organizations, which promote a sense of community, diversity, cooperation, health and human services.
This year, the Folsom Street Events gave away $350,066 to charity, which was the most successful venture in the events 24-year history.
Founded in 1995, Titan Media has produced films that focus on a more hard-core and alternative take to adult entertainment all the while promoting safe and erotic sexual encounters.
“By portraying safer sexual alternatives, TitanMen hopes to lead by example. While other studios promote and sell bareback films that portray and eroticize high-risk unprotected anal sex, TitanMen will hold firm in its steadfast commitment to the community by portraying and promoting condom-only and safer sex in all its films,” says Vice President Keith Webb.
“As a leader within the gay adult industry, TitanMen is proud to be one of the largest studio contributors to non-profit organizations specializing in gay men’s health and education,” explained Bruce Cam, Founder and CEO of Titan Media.
To further their dedication to promoting safe sex, this year the company donated $25,000 that went to benefit HIV/Aids testing and prevention organizations such as St. James Infirmary, the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center, the Gay City in Seattle, Howard Brown Health Center in Chicago, and the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of South Florida.
Titan’s hope is that by giving back, they can demonstrate and support the need for heath care and prevention within the gay community.
