‘Let people live their lives’
WWE star Goldust has urged the public to “let people live their lives” after his transgender step-son was attacked. The incident took place on Friday night, and the wrestler took to his personal Facebook page to issue a statement.
No details have been revealed of where it happened, or how how bad the extent of the attack was on the individual.
Goldust, real name Dustin Runnels, posted: “My step son who is a transgender was attacked last night and I’m f******g p****d.
“Grow the eff up and let people live their lives the way they choose.”
The attack comes on the heels of a rash of crimes and attacks against transgender people, and the lgbt community in general. Many attacks have been linked to motivation from the election of President-Elect Donald J. Trump. However, as of this writing, nothing has come to light to directly connect the attack.
We wish the best to Dustin and his step-daughter, and we hope for a speedy recovery.
