Despite the widespread backlash, representatives for the Bud Light brand have confirmed that the company will keep its partnership with controversial far-left transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.
A spokesperson for Anheuser-Busch, which owns the Bud Light brand, told Fox News that Mulvaney helps the company “authentically connect with audiences across various demographics and passion points.”
“Anheuser Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics and passion points,” the spokesperson said.
“From time to time, we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for brand influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney,” the spokesperson continued. “This commemorative can was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public.”
The popular brand is facing a massive boycott following new advertisements featuring Mulvaney.

Despite the calls from American parents to cut ties, Anheuser-Busch has double-down on its position by defending Mulvaney.
The beer company sent packs of its product to the transgender activist in order to celebrate what Mulvaney calls “365 Days of Girlhood.” Mulvaney reportedly receives over $10,000 to market numerous brands, in addition to Bud Light.

“Happy March Madness!!” Mulvaney said. “Just found out this had to do with sports and not just saying it’s a crazy month!”
“In celebration of this sports thing Bud Light is giving you the chance to win $15,000!” Mulvaney continued. “Share a video with #EasyCarryContest for a chance to win!! Good luck!”
Mulvaney, who is a “Bud Light partner,” is biological male who identifies as a female.
Mulvaney posted a video drinking Bud Light in the bathtub.

Dylan Mulvaney is the new (botched) face of Bud Light 🤡 @budlight
either doesn’t know their customers or they do and just don’t give a shit. I’m guessing the latter. What a disgrace.Advertisement— Jaimee Michell Founder of Gays Against Groomers (@thegaywhostrayd) April 2, 2023
Hey @budlight, how about you send a beer to the woman who birthed 5 kids, homeschools, runs a business, doesn’t sleep much or have time to put on makeup & heels as often as she’d like?
That’s a REAL woman. Not the man with eyeshadow & plastic surgery who pretends he’s a woman.

Message to conservative families from @budlight seems to be: We will encourage and even celebrate the erasure of men and women along with all the values you care about. They’ve gone totally woke. Will you ever spend your money with them now? pic.twitter.com/ebtfHUoji3

The good news is that Bud Light tastes like rain water that someone siphoned out of a tin bucket so it should be very easy to boycott
