An environmentalist drag queen who goes by the name Pattie Gonia has called on the outdoor clothing brand Patagonia to drop a trademark infringement lawsuit it filed against the influencer.
“This is not a brand conflict,” Wyn Wiley, who created the Pattie Gonia persona eight years ago, said in a video released on social media Wednesday. “This is a corporation trying to erase an activist, and this is how corporations bully individuals who cannot match their resources, because this would take away not only my activism and my career, but also the livelihoods of the team I employ.”
