Charles Barkley Gets Praise After Vehemently Speaking Out Against Homophobia
Barkley has a history of showing support for LGBTQ+ people. The NBA Hall-Of-Famer appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2020 and spoke candidly about advocating for LGBTQ+ rights.
Barkley specifically talked about standing up against North Carolina’s “bathroom bill,” which prohibited transgender people from using restrooms and other public facilities according to their gender identity. The former NBA forward, who now works as an analyst with TNT, said he told his boss at the network that he didn’t want to take part in the NBA All-Star game festivities if the event is being held in North Carolina.
“I hated the ‘bathroom bill,’ ” Barkley told DeGeneres. “So I went to my boss and said, ‘Hey boss, I’m gonna sit out of the All-Star Game. I don’t want to to take away from the All-Star Game, but I’m gonna sit out the All-Star Game.’”
