Chicago Gay Bars Boycott Anheuser-Busch Over Dylan Mulvaney Controversy

At least five LGBTQ+ bars in Chicago are boycotting Anheuser-Busch and its products following the company's partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. The partnership, which consisted of a sponsored post on her Instagram account promoting Bud Light, spawned a right-wing backlash. The company's response to that backlash led to accusations that it was abandoning Mulvaney, 25, which in turn ignited a response from the LGBTQ+ community. The bars have removed Anheuser-Busch products, stating that they expect the products they sell to align their values with their values or not trample on the right of their customers.

Several LGBTQ bars in Chicago have faced online harassment after discontinuing Anheuser-Busch InBev products when the beer giant distanced itself from a transgender influencer amid backlash. The bars received hundreds of Instagram comments since they announced they would no longer sell Anheuser-Busch products, including Bud Light, Busch Light and Goose Island 312. While many expressed appreciation that the bars were standing up for transgender people, others left transphobic and homophobic messages on their pages.

Anheuser-Busch faces backlash and cuts ties over Dylan Mulvaney partnership.

LGBTQ+ bars in Chicago are boycotting Bud Light after the company "abandoned" trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney following backlash from bigots over a personalised beer can. Anheuser-Busch, the parent company of Bud Light, has been criticised for distancing itself from Mulvaney and failing to support the LGBTQ+ community. Five bars, including Sidetrack Bar and 2Bears Tavern Group, have announced they will no longer sell any products from Anheuser-Busch until the company can "clearly demonstrate they will not acquiesce to voices of hate that wish to erase LGBTQ+ existence".
