Dennis Rodman is no stranger to causing a stir. The NBA champion recently stepped out in a skirt to attend Houston’s Pride Parade, and it caused quite a commotion. The former Chicago Bulls player posted about his attendance on Instagram, wearing a green skirt, a black t-shirt that read “Love & Love”, and a hat with a smiley face. He captioned the photo simply “Love will Always Win Happy Pride”.
But this was far from the first time Rodman caused a stir with his attire. Back in 1996, he famously announced he was marrying himself, and was even paid $10 million by the wedding dress designer for the stunt. He later appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1995 wearing a dress, which helped him gain favor in the LGBTQ+ community.
Despite all this, Rodman faced criticism from many who were bothered by his support of Pride. He responded to the criticism on his Instagram Story, writing “Do your research guys, #beenhim” over a photo collage of his past outfits. He explained to Fox News that he was doing all the drag clubs and wearing lingerie and women’s clothes, and the gay community started embracing him for it.
Rodman’s attendance at Pride and his willingness to stand up for the LGBTQ+ community shows that love will always win. His message proves that he has no intention of backing down from being true to himself. It’s an inspiring message for us all.
