A slew of Chicago gay bars have stopped selling Anheuser Busch InBev products after the beer giant distanced itself from transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney’s Bud Light marketing campaign amid anti-trans backlash.
2Bears Tavern Group, which owns four gay bars from Uptown to Rogers Park, was the first to drop Anheuser-Busch InBev, posting on Instagram Thursday that its abandonment of Mulvaney amid controversy “shows how little Anheuser-Busch cares about the LGBTQIA+ community, and in particular transgender people, who have been under unrelenting attack in this country.”
Sidetrack, a 41-year-old gay bar founded by LGBTQ rights pioneers Art Johnston and Jose Pepé Peña, later made the same announcement.
“We must also hold brands accountable if they take active steps against LGBTQ+ equality, visibility and safety,” Sidetrack posted.
The gay bars will no longer sell all Anheuser-Busch products, including Bud Light, Busch Light and Goose Island 312.(snip)
The team behind 2Bears Tavern Group accused the company of erasing “transgender people in favor of anti-trans vitriol.” The bar group includes 2Bears Tavern Uptown, Jackhammer, Meetinghouse Tavern and the SoFo Tap.
Sidetrack said the CEO’s statement “wrongfully validates the position that it is acceptable to acquiesce to the demands of those who do not support the trans community.”

He who rides the tiger dare not dismount.
Queers not going to drink queer beer?
HA-HA!
LOL, now they’ve pi$$ed off eerybody!
bye
So, if we now boycott Bud Light, are we now boycotting the alphabet people boycott? Or are we boycotting the original Bud Light support of the alphabet people?
Can this get any more confusing?
The Normies need to create an alliance with the Alphabet People for One Big Unified Boycott of Bud Light. The enemy of my enemy...or something like that.
Bwahahaha!!
Bet they ain’t too happy they hired the former publicity chick about now. Ain’t no takin’ it back. Losing on both ends now. Wonder what the monetary damage will be due to her inclusiveness .🤑
They’ll shut up as soon as somebody reminds them it makes them our allies in this. Anyway, it’s 0.0001% of the market, so who cares?
Excellent!
Friendly fire can be as deadly as any other.
The important thing: break this company into little pieces and make an impression on others that are tempted to flirt with Satan.
Looks like A-B managed to p*ss off everybody ........
"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)"
Exactly! Their +/- impact might be noticeable in the 20th decimal place of Anheuser’s P&L.
If liberals don’t support sex with children, why are they punishing Bud Light for abandoning its campaign to promote that?
Try to please everyone, and you’ll please no one.
More good news for us, more bad news for the brewing company!
lmao... let us behold the text book example of the term double edged sword!!
