Gay porn star Wesley Woods claims he was ‘brutally attacked’ on Wednesday (8 August) for ‘being gay’.
The porn actor took to Twitter on Friday (10 August) to post a video explaining the attack.
He says in the video: ‘My best friend and I were brutally attacked by three straight, white, hetero men in West Hollywood, California.
‘Why you might ask? For being gay,’ he says.
The two-time Gay Porn Performer of the Year explained they were walking down the sidewalk ‘minding their own business’ and then it happened.
He continued: ‘Now, we weren’t technically being gay at that exact moment. We were just walking down the sidewalk. You see, being gay is the act: That’s when you have a dick in your ass,’ he said.
Woods, who describes himself as a ‘comedian’ in his Twitter bio, said he posted the video as a caution for LGBTI people.
‘I’m not posting this video for sympathy – I’m posting this video for awareness.
‘You’re not always safe in the places where you think you are. Always have someone next to you. Always be aware of your surroundings. And be prepared to fight for your life,’ he said.

The enemy wants u to be afraid, they want to force you into their idea of normal. I am not, you aren’t, none of us are— “normal.” We live this life the best we can w/ what we’ve been given in hopes of being our true self. Do not hide, fight for your space to exist & ALWAYS be YOU pic.twitter.com/Rlqlh0Wlja

West Hollywood tops list of LGBTI residents
A study released last year found West Hollywood as the most densely populated area with LGBTI people.
West Hollywood topped the list with three quarters of residents in a same-sex relationship or looking to be in one.
The study then compared house prices in 2012 to now and found the overall price per square foot was 28.9% higher in these gay neighborhoods.
The report states: ‘This suggests that the expense to live in communities with higher Neighborhood Pride Scores has risen more strongly than in communities with lower Neighborhood Pride Scores.’
