Gay film studios began in the 1950s when they started sending private pyhsique posing film loops to private buyers. The market began to expand in the 1960s with the easing of restrictions on what became known as hardcore films. Any films prior to the mid-1960s could only show men posing or wrestling but could show no films that promoted homosexuality in any way without being branded obscene. The first known theater to show gay films was the Park Miller in Los Angeles in 1968.
By the 1970s gay films started to appear that dealt with sexuality but were not hardcore. By the 1980s the market had split with pornographic studios moving into videotape sales and non-pornographic films showing on the art house circuit. By the 2000s gay films had become completely mainstream and gay pornographic films had switched at first to dvd sales and finally online.
Among some of the more famous studios were: Fox Studio,Colt studio, Nova Studios, and Brentwood Studios.
