Tennis Legend Fumes Over Deb Haaland Video With Drag Queen: ‘Pathetic Parody of Women’

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova wasn’t happy with a video showing Interior Secretary Deb Haaland discussing “how places such as Stonewall are important to telling America’s story” with drag queen and activist Pattie Gonia.

Haaland was seen standing with Gonia outside the Stonewall National Monument in New York City in the short clip, which was shared by Haaland Monday on X.

To celebrate LGBT History Month, I joined outdoor advocate and climate movement icon @pattiegonia to discuss how places like @StonewallNPS help tell our country’s full and honest story. pic.twitter.com/XSIGs1qz9z

“Is this a joke?” Navratilova wrote in a post responding to the video. “The pathetic parody of women continues.”

The 18-time Grand Slam winner also fired back at one X user who wrote: “Butch lesbians always faced the same derision. ‘Not really a woman.’

And how exactly are we supposed to know the difference? And please do not compare males to butch females. Thank you.
