UPDATE [10/12/19]:
Corey Price, Vice President of Pornhub issued the following statement to Out:
"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."
ORIGINAL:
Gay porn couple Nick Fitt and Clark Davis have called the 2019 Pornhub Awards the "most homophobic exerience of their lives."
The second annual Pornhub Awards were held in Los Angeles. There, gay pornstar Austin Wolf received the award for Most Popular Gay Performer. Wolf gave an emotional speech in which he thanked his boyfriend. However Fitt and Davis had some choice words to say about the event.
"So we are leaving the Pornhub awards which was the most homophobic experience of my life -- and yours," Fitt says in a video with Davis. "They didn't even call gay pornstars 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."
"It was just a complete homophobic disaster and I hope that STR8GAYPORN and Queermenow read this for f**king filth," he said, referring to two popular blogs that cover the gay adult entertainment industry. "Pornhub shame on you."
The awards show was a blow out event featuring Bad Bunny, Kali Uchis and Ty Dolla $ign as musical performers. Bella thorne also attended to pick up the award for her film Her & Him.

According to Fitt, the awards show wouldn't allow him and Davis walk the red carpet. The seating they were assigned was general admission seating. During the ceremony, according to Fitt's account, the gay porn winners (with the exception of Wolf) were not called to the stage to receive their awards, and were only announced and told to claim their trophies in a lounge.

Fitt states in another tweet that "not all sex workers are treated equally."

According to Davis, all of the queer performers were seated upstairs, away from the stage.
"@pornhub awards couldnt even call the gay stars on stage. 'Trophies are backstage.' Its really a joke," Davis tweeted.
