Rightwing media lash out at Charles Barkley after he defends LGBTQ people's right to exist
"Right-wing media personalities have latched onto another celebrity to further their campaign against Bud Light after its collaboration with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, attacking former basketball star and TV analyst Charles Barkley for defending LGBTQ people and supporting the beer brand.
Barkley was taped on stage at a bar encouraging the crowd to drink Bud Light, saying, “Let me tell you something. All you rednecks or assholes who don’t want to drink Bud Light, fuck y’all.” He went on to say, “If you’re gay, God bless you. If you’re transgender, God bless you. And if you have a problem with that, fuck you.”
Reactions to Barkley’s comments have ranged from personal attacks to antisemitic conspiracy theories about why he’s voicing his support. Others have used the video as an excuse to spread harmful and baseless lies that LGBTQ people are a threat to children."
