Some social media platforms have called for a boycott of Pizza Hut. Currently, the food giant is trending on Twitter for attributing a book about drag performers in a kid’s literacy program in the US. This incident has not been well received by some social media segments, who whooped for a complete ban for “going woke.”
Pizza Hut has promoted a book called ‘Big Wig’, for children 4 to 12 years old, and the book contained content about a child who is dressing as a drag in a costume competition. Drag signifies to a gender-bending art form in which dress in certain clothing and makeup to represent themselves as the opposite gender. It is mostly performed by flamboyant gay men.
June is observed as Pride Month for the LGBTQ community worldwide. Pizza Hut celebrated Pride Month by explaining the Drag performers to the kids in a more fun way. This has hurt the sentiments of certain people. Some people even pull debates on the Republican vs Democrat narrative. Brigitte Gabriel, founder of the Anti-Muslim advocacy group act for America has pledged to take down the food ain’t by saying, “Pizza Hut has gone full woke, now we must make them full broke.”
Pizza Hut has gone full woke, now we must make them full broke.

However, the majority of people found no problem with Pizza Hut promoting ‘Big Wig’ at the same time as celebrating Pride Month.
Saw “Boycott Pizza Hut” trending, and thought maybe they did something wrong. Turns out it’s a bunch of right wing snowflakes crying because another company won’t play their “pretend lgtbq people don’t exist” game. Gonna have some pizza tonight. #boycottpizzahut #pizzahut
