Martina Navratilova and Donald Trump
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova is one of the most active celebrities on social media and has a very strong opinion on all social, political, and cultural matters. In spite of receiving backlash, she voices her opinion strongly and is very clear with her views. She identifies herself as a lesbian and often speaks against homophobic activities happening all around the world.
Because of his homophobic statements and attitude, Navratilova isn’t a big fan of former President Donald Trump. She often questions his comments and calls him out whenever needed. Back in 2018, in an interview with Jon Wertheim, Navratilova expressed her opinion on the gay rights issue and called people to stay vocal because society is going backward when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community.
“Well, I think people have caught up on the gay rights issue, but we are still sliding backward. I thought we were done fighting a lot of these battles. So, it’s more important to stay vocal and stay involved, to get involved,” she said.
