A portrait of Brandon Lee, one of the first queer Asian porn stars in America.
An essay exploring the entanglements behind his work and worth: http://www.sfu.ca/~baw2/GSWS826/Nguyen.pdf
“I look at the ways in which the privileging of topness and
remasculinization in the work of Brandon Lee serve to reinforce normative
discourses of race, class, gender, nation, and sexuality. The chapter’s inves-
tigation of contemporary gay male video porn shows how those modalities
of difference get articulated through top-bottom sexual positionings. At the
same time that I unpack Lee’s claim to fame as an Asian top, I also point to
the instabilities of his top status by highlighting significant moments in his
videos when topness topples as well as instances when bottomhood exceeds
its coding as Asian abjection. In addition, I suggest that Lee’s emergence
marks out a space for a queer, resistant Asian American porn spectator-
ship that enlarges previous models of porn viewing. “
