Racer Lewis Hamilton continues to be a smokin’ hot ally, calls out Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law
A post shared by Lewis Hamilton (@lewishamilton)Even if you don’t keep up with the world of Formula 1 racing, chances are you know the name Lewis Hamilton.With a record-tying seven World Drivers’ Championship titles, he’s one of the sport’s most accomplished and celebrated racers, whose outspoken activism and life in the public eye (he famously dated The Pussycat Dolls’ Nicole Scherzinger) have helped make him one of the most popular athletes on the planet.And he’s also—if we may add—super hot…A post shared by Lewis Hamilton (@lewishamilton)But more than just looking good in (or out of) a racing suit, Hamilton has proven that he’s a total ally to the LGBTQ+ community, which only makes him easier to thirst after. (He’s come a long way since that time he shamed—and later apologized to—his nephew for wearing a pink dress in 2017.)Earlier this week, Hamilton jetted off to Florida to compete in the 2023 Miami Grand Prix, where he ultimately placed 13th overall, but won in his own way.Of course, the state—which we’ll unofficially dub DeSantisLand—is home to the hateful “Don’t Say Gay” law, which bans acknowledgement of sexual orientation and gender identity in classrooms, and is part of a wave of anti-LGBTQ+ laws sweeping the country.Shumake ran the Brooklyn Half over the weekend & proved he’s firmly in his hot daddy era.While making press rounds ahead of the race in Miami, Hamilton made a point to show his support for the queer community: “I stand by the LGBTQ community here and hope they continue to push back.”Notably, Hamilton’s racing helmet bears the stripes of the Rainbow Flag across it, repping for the gays even as he’s speeding around the track at speeds of up to 230mph.Speaking with a reporter for The BBC, the driver.
