UFC fighter Jeff Molina slams homophobic fans after receiving backlash for Pride Month shorts
UFC fighter Jeff Molina condemned homophobic fans after receiving backlash for wearing a Pride-themed uniform. On 1 June, the flyweight prospect celebrated the beginning of Pride Month by showcasing his custom made uniform – which featured his last name in rainbow embroidery. “Pretty sick UFC is letting us rep for pride month!
Get your pride gear @ufcstore,” he wrote alongside the rainbow flag emoji. Shortly after uploading his tweet, fans replied to the professional fighter and thanked him for his support of the celebratory month.
One user wrote: “Bad ass! Thanks for being so cool.” Another user replied: “Good stuff man. It’s good to be open-minded and show support for others even in small ways.” However, amidst the postive tweets was a sleuth of negative comments –which prompted a follow-up tweet from Molina. “To all the dudes sliding in my DM’s, I’m a straight guy but pshhh I’m flattered,” he tweeted. “For all the homophobic dudes upset by me repping pride month on my fight kit y’all some fruit cups.” After competing in his fight on 4 June, the 24-year-old was asked about the negative feedback he received for wearing Pride merch.
