Charles Barkley has always been candid. He’s also long been a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community.
The NBA Hall of Famer and TNT (WBD) -) analyst once again showed his support for the LGBTQ+ community, this time amid the Bud Light (BUDFF) -) controversy. Bud Light has been attacked by the right for partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in April.
Barkley was recorded speaking in a bar on a video posted by TikTok user l._banana.
“If you’re gay, bless you. If you’re trans, bless you. And if you have a problem with that, f*** you!” Barkley said on the microphone.
