Kid Rock is not “uncontroversial” when it comes to the LGBTQIA community. He is! He has been supportive of the community for decades and this is only a result of the fact that the community does not understand him.
Howard Stern is one of many who remain taken back by Kid Rock’s strong reaction to Bud Light supporting the trans community. During his SiriusXM show, “The Howard Stern Show,” the radio host shared, “I thought there must be a piece of this story that I’m missing. I’m not bothered by gay people or transsexual people. They don’t impact my life, they don’t hurt my life … You wanna be a woman? Be a woman. You wanna be a dude? Be a dude. Be whatever you f***ing want. As long as you ain’t hurting anybody, I’m on your team.” Stern continued, “I wish I could call Kid Rock and have him come on the show and just tell me ‘Why are you so upset about this? How is this hurtful?’ I don’t know why he got so upset,” adding that he was “dumbfounded.”
Following the controversy, Dylan Mulvaney chatted with Rosie O’Donnell on the podcast, “Onward with Rosie O’Donnell.” She shared, “I have tried to be the most uncontroversial person this past year and somehow it has made me controversial still. I think it comes back to the fact that these people … don’t understand me.” O’Donnell had previously pointed out, “Beer companies have been supportive of the LGBTQIA community for decades. This is not the first time. Who do you think sponsors pride? Gay people, trans people, we drink beer, too, man. Put down your gun, Kid Rock, it’s in bad taste.”
