The athletic company Nike has decided to sponsor a “Queer Youth Field Day” after the corporation did a collaboration with controversial transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney to promote women’s apparel.
According to a promotion of the event by OUTMemphis, participants of the event should identify as LGBTQ+ or an “ally” of the movement, and fall into the age group of 13 to 25 years old.
“All LGBTQ+ youth and allies aged 13-25 are invited to a free afternoon of games, music, giveaways, and good weather,” the group said, adding that the event is “free.” “We’ll have bouncy houses, obstacle courses, face painting, tie-dye, and more! Our DJ will be spinning some summer-time hits, and there will be plenty of water and snacks on hand to keep you fueled the whole afternoon!”
From The Daily Wire:
Nike came under fire earlier this month when the corporation partnered with LGBT activist and influencer Dylan Mulvaney, a man who claims to be a “girl.” Mulvaney showed off women’s leggings and a sports bra by Alate in a sponsored Nike ad, captioning the post, “Home for a moment and leaning into cozy workout wear life with [Nike Women]’s newest Zenvy leggings and Alate bra! They’re so comfortable and buttery soft, perfect for workouts and everyday wear! #feelyourall #teamnike #nikepartner.” In a video promoting the women’s apparel, Mulvaney does high kicks in bare feet to music outside.
