Garth Brooks is slamming those who are critical of inclusivity! Good for him!
Last week, the country music superstar was thrust into the limelight for a totally different reason than what he’s usually doing on stage. This firestorm started after the Oklahoma-born legend stated he will serve Bud Light in his new Nashville bar, Friends In Low Places.
Of course, Bud Light has been under fire from conservatives and right-wingers in recent weeks after it partnered with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in a now-infamous viral social media post. Anti-trans Republicans have been slamming the beer brand and threatening boycotts over its alignment with an LGBT star. You know, because of her existence. That’s where we’re at.

The Friends In Low Places singer got caught up in that mess last Wednesday when he spoke about his new Tennessee drinking establishment during Billboard Country Live. When asked if he would serve Bud Light at the new bar, Trisha Yearwood‘s husband said:
Just when you thought he was going to be disappointingly wishy-washy to keep his country base happy, he added:
Seems simple enough, right? It’s a bar, y’all! The dude just wants to serve beer!
Well, sadly, right wing activists and online personalities descended on Garth in the days after he made that statement. Even Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz slammed Brooks for the pro-Bud Light stance, calling the country crooner’s decision “insulting.” You know today’s Republican party– they’re over all the woke B.S. like “be nice to each other” and “love thy neighbor.”
Anyways, on Monday Garth addressed the issue head-on, in the most PERFECT way!
