Wesley Woods Recalls Horrible Experience of Hate Crime!
The retired porn star also wants the experience that left him traumatized to serve as a reminder why exactly Pride Month is needed.
Wesley Woods expresses the need to fight against discrimination the LGBTQ+ community is facing. The former adult entertainer took to Twitter and posted a disturbing photo of him showing his wounded face after suffering from a hate crime.
Why do we celebrate pride… why do we need a pride month!? Because you don’t have to worry about getting beat up walking down the street for being straight. You don’t have to worry about holding your partners hand in public. You don’t have to fear for simply living your life!! pic.twitter.com/D80h8Yftz2

The said photo may have been taken back in August 2018 when Woods was assaulted. He immediately cleared it by posting a follow-up tweet.
Woods revealed in a tweet back in 2018 that he and his best friend was ‘brutally attacked by three straight, white, hetero men’ while walking the streets of West Hollywood, California. He actually posted a video for awareness after the experience.
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

The wounds may have already healed but just like other hate crime victims, the incident has definitely scarred Woods emotionally.
Woke up and chose violence today. Don’t tell someone to “just get over it” when dealing with severe trauma. That’s not how this shit works. FUCK OFF!!!

Nevertheless, he wants this experience to serve as a reminder why Pride Month needs to be always commemorated.
