Bud Light has decided to double down on its LGBT stance and is now sponsoring several Pride events across the U.S. despite Anheuser-Busch InBev’s market value plummeting to $15.7 billion.
The Beverage company has been in a death spiral since its disastrous partnership with transgender activist and influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
But now Bud Light is listed as a sponsor for Pride parade events in Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio, and St. Louis, Missouri.
According to a report from The Daily Wire, “in St. Louis, Missouri, where Anheuser-Busch is headquartered, the company is listed as the presenting sponsor of the St. Louis Pride Parade. A sponsorship packet explains that there are only four’ presenting sponsor’ slots available. The ‘Rainbow’ sponsorship tier, located below the ‘presenting sponsor’ tier, requires entities to pay $25,000.”
“In Columbus, Bud Light is listed as a ‘Diamond Sponsor’ for the city’s upcoming pride parade,” the report adds. “According to a document from Stonewall Columbus — which ‘organizes and hosts’ the ‘annual’ event — companies are required to donate $20,000 to the organization in order to become ‘Diamond’ sponsors.”
A post about the event on the San Antonio River Walk website, the Bud Light logo on the event sponsors list links to the website for Silver Eagle Beverages. That website states that Silver Eagle Beverages is “one of the largest members of the Anheuser-Busch wholesaler family.”
Meanwhile, Anheuser-Busch’s market value has completely collapsed following the brutal conservative boycott.
The shocking $15.7 billion figure was determined by using S&P Global Market Intelligence data.
“The market value of Anheuser-Busch InBev, whose fourth bestselling brand is Bud Light, dropped $15.7 billion since April 1, based on a conversion to U.S. dollars by Investor’s Business Daily using data from S&P Global Market Intelligence,” Investor’s Business Daily reports.
“That’s the day Dylan Mulvaney, a TikTok influencer and transgender woman, pitched the Bud Light brand during the NCAA March Madness tournament.”
“Meanwhile, the other major publicly traded global beer brands have added $3.2 billion in market value during the same time,” the report adds.
Last month, President Donald Trump broke his silence over the Bud Light boycott.
“It’s time to beat the Radical Left at their own game,” Trump wrote.
“Money does talk—Anheuser-Busch now understands that.”
Her ideas are hardly original. Look around my friend.
I agree. Corporations are now serving a “higher purpose”. “The cause” (Revolution) is paramount.
And you know who is behind all this talk of Reparations for Slavery? Corporations! They know they will be the beneficiaries and wind up with all that money in the end, so they love the idea.
If beer were a product that people only buy occasionally, they might be able to wait this out. The main part of their customer base, however, is made up of guys who buy beer on a regular basis. The way things stand now, if a bunch of guys go out to a club or bar somewhere, none of them are going to order a Bud Light because of the ridicule they'll receive from the rest of the group (if they're anything like the guys I hung out with back in the day.) If you invite the guys over to watch the game, you're not going to offer them a Bud Light. There are plenty of other brands available that you can buy instead. Let's see how their sales figures look if they insist on relying on the LGBT community as their new customer base.
Marxists don’t care about profits. It’s all about power and the demonic messaging.
This type of controversy is the exact reason the old-time movie moguls like Goldwyn and Mayer, et al, kept their stable of stars under contract, and did not allow them to make any public statements on anything even remotely political without prior clearance from the PR staff..................
It’s very likely this arrangement was made before the Mulvaney blowup. Now they’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t. Fortunately for BL, the masses of LGBT activists will support their sales...oh, wait, they’re mad too, and they’re a tiny minority. Price of pandering.

Had to fix that glaring error.
STAY OUT DA Busch-es!.................
I was at the grocery store and they usually put cases of Bud light on the floor up against the refrigerators and now they are damaged by what I assume is people kicking them and hitting them with their carts.
Not an insult, a pick-up line...

Anybody know when Straight Pride month is?
The other 11 months, of course. Just like Black History month is February, and the other 11 months are “White History” months.

I didn’t say that. Your comment doesn’t change anything I said.
I believe you’re exactly right.
The corporate suicide they're conducting has moved into Americana.
Budweiser, Harley-Davidson and MLB are just three. FORD and LEVI'S for crying out loud.
All classic Americana and it will all be willingly destroyed in a losing battle.
JMO, YMMV
We look at AmBev and can see a quick campaign pickup. Just a toe in the water at first.
Now damage control and no camo covered Clydesdales. Everybody sees it.
Target, on the other hand, had to have had months of prep time. Design and manufacture time alone prove that this charade was long planned.
