Garth Brooks Will Serve Bud Light at New Nashville Bar Amid Transphobic Backlash: ‘If You’re an Asshole, There Are Plenty of Other Places’

Garth Brooks’ new Nashville bar and honky-tonk Friends in Low Places is opening this summer — and the country star is sharing that everyone is welcome… except assholes.

“I want it to be a place you feel safe in. I want it to be a place where you feel like there are manners and people like one another,” Brooks said about his new business. “And yes, we’re going to serve every brand of beer. We just are. It’s not our decision to make. Our thing is this: if you [are let] into this house, love one another. If you’re an asshole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway.”

According to Wikipedia, Garth Brooks is a longtime supporter of gay rights. He won a GLAAD award in 1993 for his song "We Shall Be Free". He sang a duet with George Michael at a benefit concert organised by Human Rights Watch in 2000.

I didn't know this. Country musicians are typically perceived as conservative, but people like Brooks and Dolly Parton are not in that mould.

Honestly not the ally I was expecting, but love it nonetheless.
