Tennis legend Martina Navratilova slammed Interior Secretary Deb Haaland after the member of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet did a collaboration with a drag queen to celebrate “LGBT History Month.”
Haaland partnered with drag queen “Pattie Gonia” at Stonewall National Monument in New York City to promote the month.

“Queer rights are more under attack than ever,” the drag queen said. “If we don’t acknowledge the past, we’re bound to repeat it.”
“So, at a place like Stonewall, this beautiful place, it’s a place where so much discrimination and hatred occurred against the queer community, but it’s also a place where resistance and queer joy and queer liberation happened.”
Navratilova decried the video of Haaland and the drag queen as a “pathetic parody of women.”
“Is this a joke?” she said. “The pathetic parody of women continues.”
Navratilova has long criticized the inclusion of biological males into female spaces and has actively spoken out against transgender athletes and the domination of former University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas against biological females.
The tennis legend did receive some pushback on X.

“So you are admitting you are not part of the LGBTQIA rights movement, Martina?” one user responded to her post. “You just want to benefit from the work that others, including trans activists, have done to secure your rights? You become a more and more of a bigoted Karen with each passing day.”
Lol! Really? And which people would that be? Because I was on the front line before there was a front line. And you will never convince me to stop fighting for equal rights for women- thank you.
