"I'm a big supporter" - When Mike Tyson made his feelings known about his daughter's LGBTQ support on The Joe Rogan Experience

Months ago, Mike Tyson was a guest on episode #1805 of The Joe Rogan Experience. While talking to Rogan, 'Iron Mike' touched on numerous topics, including one of his daughter's defense of the LGBTQ+ community, which shed some light on sociopolitical issues Tyson was previously unaware of.

He described himself as an ally of the community, praising his daughter for her efforts in a notable departure from his past behavior. However, his daughter, who is trans, helped broaden his way of thinking.

"My daughter is a part of the young ladies that wanna become men. I'm a big supporter. I have a daughter that's in that... I don't know, what do you call it? The community? The community, and I love her, I respect her so I respect the community. That's pretty much our normal. She's a part of that community and very aggressive like you were saying."

Tyson then went on to describe a confrontation that took place between his daughter and Lil' Boosie, the rapper, over the latter's transphobic comments about NBA legend Dwyane Wade's trans daughter:

"I had a young man named Lil' Boosie. Young rapper. He curses a lot in his music and stuff, and he said something negative about Dwayne Wade's son. I believe he has a gay son or something, and he said something disrespectful about him. And my daughter came to my, she lives in New York, she came from New York to Los Angeles because she knew I was interviewing this guy. Came in the room and sat down and said, 'What do you think? Who do you think you are?'"
