The 36-year-old Carrum Downs man was walking along Smith Street in Collingwood in the early hours of Saturday on January 27 when three men surrounded him.
One of the attackers made comments about his sexuality before all three struck him in the face.
The man was taken to hospital with serious facial injuries.
The offenders fled after the attack.

#VicBirthCerts allows trans and gender diverse people to have their ID reflect their true sex or gender. We believe this is a distinct source of harassment and violence that can be eliminated with this simple legislative fix.
