Bud Light Faces Backlash and Boycotts from LGBTQ+ Community and Consumers.

Several Chicago gay bars have stopped selling Anheuser Busch InBev products, including Bud Light and Goose Island 312, after the beer giant distanced itself from transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney's Bud Light marketing campaign amid anti-trans backlash. The controversy began after Anheuser-Busch partnered with Mulvaney for a sponsored post and launched a line of Pride-themed cans with various pronouns. Anheuser-Busch CEO Michel Doukeris addressed the controversy during an earnings call with investors Thursday and distanced the brand from Mulvaney.
