- Kershaw and Bass say they support LGBTQ+ community
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass apologized on Tuesday for expressing support on social media for anti-LGBTQ+ boycotts of Target and Bud Light.
Bass shared a post on his Instagram stories on Monday urging others to spurn the companies over support they showed for the LGBTQ+ community. Both companies are dealing with fallout from those campaigns, which have included hostile and homophobic criticisms and calls from LGBTQ+ activists not to cave to anti-LGBTQ+ groups.
