The great PornHub Awards scandal

Last week, the second annual Pornhub Awards were held in Los Angeles.

But the event did not go down as smoothly as Pornhub probably hoped. Claims of homophobia have surfaced.

Nick Fitt called out event organizers, sharing that he and his boyfriend Clark Davis (pictured together, above) had been treated “like shit.”

“So we are leaving the Pornhub awards which was the most homophobic experience of my life and yours,” Fitt said in a video posted on Twitter. “They didn’t even call gay porn stars up to the stage except for Austin Wolf, who deserved his win, and he got up there and got very emotional, thanked his husband which was beautiful and amazing.

“But everybody else that was gay got treated like shit, and sat in weird places. They told us we could pick up trophies in the fucking trophy room.”

He added that gay and trans performers were blocked from walking the red carpet, and not seated in a VIP section.

"It's all straight and gay-for-pay that I saw walking. All the gays/bi/trans that I noticed were upstairs."

Corey Price, Vice President of Pornhub, released a statement:

“We value all talent and treat everyone equally. All performers were allowed to walk the red carpet. Everyone had to wait in a line to walk the carpet. Towards the show, the line got long and people were asked to take their seats. It had nothing to do with being gay or straight.

“Half of all category winners accepted their awards on stage. The other half and fan awards were called out on stage and received in the lounge. They included straight and gay winners – not just gay.

“General admission is general admission. Anyone could sit wherever they want, aside from a small VIP section.”

Everyone knows, gays are always late, so that explains everything!

Fitt revealed that since complaining, Pornhub removed his profile from the porn streaming site.

Truth be told, the Porhub event is not much into man-on-man action, even though Pornhub is owned by the same company that operated Men.com and SeanCody.com. Aside from the bajillion straight categories, three men were recognized for their work in gay porn:

Top Gay Performer - Austin Wolf

Top Twink - Joey Mills

Top Daddy - Zilv Gudel

CzechHunter.com was also awarded Top Gay Channel.

It is curious that the Pornhub Awards have so few gay categories; however, it is also true that there are several annual gay-only porn awards shows.
