Charles Barkley in defending transgender community

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/c … 424386007/

Charles Barkley is (expletive) right, and courageous, in defending transgender community

    It's easy to sometimes dismiss Charles Barkley as just a joker.

    "So I’m gonna buy some drinks for y’all and I’m gonna buy Bud Light," Barkley said.

    It's a rebuke of how the right-wing has attempted to destroy the brand after Bud Light used a trans influencer, Dylan Mulvaney, for an Instagram promotion.

"I got three cases of Bud Light," he said. Then added: "If you’re gay, bless you. If you’re trans, bless you."

    And if you have a problem with them <removed> you."

    What Barkley did was important because when a gigantic star of his caliber, literally too big to for the hatemongers to cancel, isn't just an ally, but a public one, an explicit one, an unabashed one, he can almost serve as a sort of protective umbrella.
