A North Face advertisement featuring a drag queen in rainbow-themed outdoor sports gear has sparked backlash after going viral online. The popular outdoor apparel company has learned nothing from mounting customer boycotts against Bud Light and Target in recent weeks.
“Hi, it’s me, Pattie Gonia, a real-life homosexual,” drag queen and self-described environmentalist and community organizer Pattie Gonia said in The North Face ad, adding, “Today I’m here with the North Face. We are here to invite you to come out … in nature with us!”

“We like to call this little tour, the Summer of Pride. This tour has everything: hiking, community, art, lesbians, lesbians making art. Last year we gay sashayed across the nation and celebrated pride,” the drag queen continued.
Commenters on the video were mixed. One person said, “Did you learn nothing from Budweiser?”
“Sexual preference doesn’t need to be showcased in every single brand to sell stuff,” another user wrote.
“Y’all gonna learn reallllll quick. You push an agenda that goes against THE MAJORITY OF your customers values, you gonna lose customers. You’re digging your own grave that’s what doesn’t make sense to me,” someone else said.
Holy sh*t. It’s real. There was nothing on The North Face’s twitter feed, but it’s on the web site… pic.twitter.com/5WyBgsGcVZ

A seemingly endless stream of Twitter users are boycotting the brand.
