Dana White draws comparison between Cancel Culture and Coming Out as Gay in the 1980s
Club Shay Shay
Dana White‘s ripping cancel culture, saying it’s stopping people from being their true selves in public — and he’s using an interesting metaphor to make his point … gay people.
The UFC CEO sat down with Shannon Sharpe for an episode of his “Club Shay Shay” podcast … and, they dove into people getting “canceled” — something White says doesn’t scare him one bit.
Watch the clip … Dana says he only cares about the opinion of a small group of people — his family and loved ones — and everything outside of that’s just white noise. He then launches into a comparison that’s raising eyebrows among some … but ringing true for others.
He equates cancel culture these days with being gay in the 1980s. He points out gay people who came out during that period commonly had their lives destroyed, so they couldn’t be who they were.

White says screw it, he’s not interested in pretending for anyone … adding people can accept him for who he is or not — he doesn’t really care.
It’s a bit of a stretch … but, it certainly sums up how Dana feels — ’cause he reiterates how little he cares about public opinion when touching on the drunken altercation with his wife.
