NBA legend Charles Barkley has slammed anti-LGBTQ+ critics of Bud Light during an epic speech. Since April, conservative individuals have boycotted the popular beer after trans TikTok influencer Dylan Mulvaney partnered with the company.
The partnership, which consisted of one Instagram video, featured the beloved social media star promoting Bud Light’s March Madness contest whilst celebrating her first year living as a woman.
Shortly after the video was uploaded, Mulvaney and Bud Light were inundated with hateful comments and even death threats from far-right consumers and Republican figures like Kid Rock and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
In response to the anti-trans backlash, LGBTQ+ activists and allies have voiced their support of Mulvaney and the community as a whole – including NBA star and sports commentator Charles Barkley.
