QuotePorn star Hugh Hunter has publicly declined his nominations for the GayVN Awards, citing ?racism and bigotry? in the gay adult film industry.
?It now appears as if the GayVN Awards have chosen to make this racism and bigotry more blatant in their return to the awards arena,? Hunter wrote in a letter posted Saturday on Twitter.
The GayVN Awards, launched in 1998 and returning for the first time since 2011, honor achievements in the gay porn industry. The ceremony will be held January 21, 2018, in Las Vegas.
Hunter, an active performer in the adult entertainment industry for three years, finds particular fault with the Best Ethnic Scene category that segregates black, Latin, and Asian models.
?Why were these scenes not just included in the best scene category?? he asks. ?Why would a gay porn company choose to separate minority groups into their own race at an event that is supposed to celebrate the gay industry in its entirety? Why would this category be created in 2017 when the political climate is so thick with racial divide in this country??
Furthermore, only three of the 15 men nominated in the Performer of the Year category are non-white.
In addition to declining his GayVN nominations in categories such as Best Daddy, Hunter is calling on members of the gay adult entertainment industry ?to stand up against the systemic racism and bigotry in this industry.? He also asks gay porn fans not to support the awards.
?I want to be remembered for stepping forward and starting a movement to eventually end racism and bigotry in this beleaguered industry,? he continues. ?For so many we are the educators of sexuality. Let?s be the best educators we can be.?
Since his initial tweet criticizing the GayVN Awards, Hunter says he has received ?admonition and pushback.?

Maybe it was more but u don't kinda get his point? Like, I remember hearing that Germany had a "black music" chart and was really tf CONFUSED! In 2017 those kinda distinctions shouldn't exist

Oh no, I agree with him wholeheartedly. I originally thought he only took issue with the award show only, when it is just merely a reflection of the industry/ mainstream studio hiring process. I hope he's bold enough to call out the mainstream studios he's worked for that are responsible for this lack of representation.
who unlocked this :ummwhat:
