Since we’re starting on a dour note, I was sad to get a text last week informing me about the death of gay porn superstar Kevin Williams.  It’s been fascinating seeing all the posts on social media from gay men “of a certain age” talking about how he was their gay ideal.  Not since Leo and Lance did someone embody almost perfect physical beauty alongside a true enjoyment of gay sex.  Unlike many of the gay male superstars of the ‘80s, he was not only unquestionably gay, but an unabashed bottom (a receptacle, if you will).  It’s impossible for any gay man over 50 to look at a lazy Susan and not get aroused!  At the end of the ‘80s, he disappeared at the height of his twink-dom, only to return a decade later.  In 1998, he emerged as a man – no less beautiful, no less athletic, and no less a bottom (it didn’t hurt that he was joined by his then-partner, the equally beautiful Lane Fuller).  After a handful of films, he retreated to his private life in Southern California.  We stayed in touch throughout the years, and I knew he had been in a great deal of physical pain for some time.  It’s my hope that he is finally resting peacefully, knowing he will not be forgotten.
