“His comments were sexist, homophobic, anti-trans, anti-abortion and racist. These dehumanizing remarks against LGBTQ+ individuals, attacks on abortion rights and racial discrimination perpetuate division and undermine human rights,” reads the petition.

It is unacceptable for such a public figure to use their platform to foster harm rather than unity,” the petition continues.
