Pro Fisherman Loses Sponsor After Backing Death for LGBTs Ugandan Law

Gary Carnivele June 12, 2023

Newsweek reports:

Canyon Club Brewery in California announced on Monday that it was cutting ties with a professional fisherman after he expressed support for a new anti-gay law in Uganda.

“We learned of Mr Dyer’s view this morning and immediately severed our relationship with him. We could not disagree more strenuously with Mr. Dyer’s view and the abomination that is going on in Uganda,” the Canyon Club Brewery in California said in response to a tweet that shared screenshots of Blake Dyer’s support of the new law.

Dyer’s Twitter account has been deleted, but screenshots posted on social media showed him responding to a tweet from Texas Senator Ted Cruz discussing the new anti-gay law. “With Uganda on this one,” Dyer reportedly said in response to the law.

Read the full article. Dyer has deleted most of his social media accounts and made his Instagram page private.
