Bud Light to Sponsor Pride Parades Despite Ongoing Boycott
truthpress ^ | 5/25/2023 | truthpress

Bud Light and its parent company Anheuser-Busch are sponsoring at least three different upcoming Pride events despite backlash over the partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, a social media influencer who identifies as transgender.

Bud Light is listed as a sponsor on the Cincinnati Pride Parade website. Planned Parenthood and the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, which medically transitions minors, are both also listed.

Meanwhile, 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.

Bud Light is also listed as a “Diamond Sponsor” of Stonewall Columbus, which organizes and hosts the annual Columbus, Ohio, Pride Parade. The “diamond” sponsorship tier requires companies to donate $20,000, a document from the organization specifies. The document also adds, “All Stonewall Columbus sponsors must affirm Stonewall’s diversity, equity, and inclusion policies AND agree to donate no less than 8 hours of volunteer time during a calendar year.”

Stubborn right to the last days before looking like Bed, Bath and Beyond or KMart. Not smart.

It is!

Not the way they want it to. But it should help their demise

Might as well, it’s their little niche now.

I guess “boycott” is the abbreviated description of what happened to BudLight, but I don’t think this was a traditional organized boycott. I think it was spontaneous and near-universal revulsion. There’s obviously no way to know, but I’d wager that if this “boycott” were somehow organized, the dropoff in sales would actually be significantly less than it is.

A-B has a death wish for sure. A “damn the torpedoes full speed ahead” attitude.

I agree with you, some are boycotting but what is killing Bud Light is that the beer-swilling guys just said hell no and they and their beer-swilling buddies who are the core of the beer world, knocking out several cases a week, every week, while working on their cars, playing pool, shooting rats at the dump, playing horseshoes at the neighborhood bar, painting apartments, watching sports, fishing, are just switching brands.

There isn’t really a boycott to end, a chunk of their big, dependable base has already moved on and they won’t be back.

You are correct ansel.

Do not affect your base with anything. Beer drinkers are very particular.

They will need a new name.

That is when you know it isn’t business decisions anymore. It is spiritual wickedness for Satan himself.
