Serena Williams' former coach Rennae Stubbs recently criticized Fox News for its derogatory comments towards the LGBTQI community during a live broadcast. She expressed her disappointment with the network's harmful rhetoric.
Fox News is an American cable television channel that has been embroiled in numerous controversies and allegations throughout its history. One of the most significant criticisms of Fox News is its perceived bias in favor of the Republican Party. The network has been accused of perpetuating conservative viewpoints and misleading its audience.
One of their most notable talking points is the idea that white, cisgender, heterosexual people are under attack in the United States.
Rennae Stubbs proudly identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. She publicly came out of the closet in 2006 and revealed her relationship with her former doubles partner, Lisa Raymond.
On Thursday, June 1, Stubbs took to social media to express her disappointment with Fox News' coverage. She was horrified to see such degrading and malicious words being spread by the channel against the queer community.
"Switched over to @FoxNews for a minute to see what they’re were talking about & the vitriol towards the LGBTQI community was absolutely DISGUSTING!! Honestly i am so offended with what was said, it’s outrageous! Complete discrimination in the open towards the LGBTQI community!," Stubbs tweeted.
