Martina Navratilova lambasted a journalist for showing stern disapproval of homosexuals, as he highlighted that gay marriages have "destroyed" the US. The conversation stemmed from Navratilova protesting against the journalist for taking Pete Hegseth's side when another journalist dug up the Secretary of Defense's domestic disputes.Navratilova has consistently expressed her disapproval of President Donald Trump in every way possible — from playing a tennis match wearing an 'Impeach' hat to frequently protesting on social media. A player-turned-activist, Navratilova has often argued that the US has become a 'totalitarian' state and admitted that, had she known, she would never have taken American citizenship after leaving Czechoslovakia.According to recent reports, Trump suggested that a 'little fight with the wife' should not be considered a criminal offense in Washington, D.C. In response, journalist John Harwood ironically pointed out that Pete Hegseth was appointed Secretary of Defense after his ex-sister-in-law accused him of domestic abuse.In protest, a Republican supporter hailed Hegseth, calling him the 'greatest American,' prompting Martina Navratilova to write:"And you call yourself a journalist? lol"Journalist Dave Achenrainer condemned the 59-time major titlist for supporting Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and also claimed that the US has been destroyed because of homosexual people and gay marriages.Navratilova reacted to the statement, wondering how gay marriages have destroyed America out of everything."lol!!! Apparently I only came out when twitter was invented… and also am trying to figure out how gay marriage destroyed America"Navratilova held the top rank in the women's singles for a record 237 weeks and finished the year as No. 1 seven times.Martina Navratilova calls out Donald Trump for delaying the start of US Open finals for security protocolsNavratilova at the Championships - Wimbledon 2025. - Source: GettyMartina Navratilova has been a constant in tennis tournaments despite retiring in 2006.
