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.”

Remember when entertainers and business people were wise enough not to mix politics with business?

Kepp telling people about the idiots at AB. Most people have no idea what goes on around them which is why AB has only had a 26% drop and not a 75% drop in sales.

I don't care what they do but never try to impress the shit on me. Why aren't trans people being properly treated for their mental condition? It is fact it is a mental matter. Every other mental illness gets treated in some manner with therapy or drugs but not in the manner trans people are handled. These so called experts that help these people “promote” an illness when they should be rectifying the problem. The chromosomes never lie and that determines one sex that should match ones idea of gender. We don't encourage bi-polar people do we? Do we encourage manic depressives? Do we now support megalomaniacs and mass murders? Why is only this one single illness handled in a different manner? No other mental illness is handled this way. When's the last time some pschy professional said, “Yeah go do a mass murder or yes its ok to eat other people”? That's what they do with trans peoples

“Most people have no idea what goes on around them which is why AB has only had a 26% drop and not a 75% drop in sales.”

Consumption is down >70%. Yet sales are only down ~30%. How can that be? Can you figure it out? How does a factory sell 70% of its product yet only a quarter of that is consumed?

Well...if consumption is down more than 70% than it is just an accounting game AB is playing. They consider their beer bought when the retailer buys it, not the consumer.

Thus, the remaining 45% reduction will be realized when AB is forced to buy back expired beer the retailer did not sell. I expect this event to be hidden and lied about. We will really know we hurt them when layoffs happen.

That is my read.

That’s right. It really is about PRIDE. The original sin. This battle is spiritual in narrative. It is blatant, evil rebellion against the Great I AM.

Ton of other sponsors as well... Boycott them all or just pick the ones you use?

If you boycott every company that supports what you’re against you’ll have nothing including your home, car, boat, clothes etc. That’s reality.

The issue is the open support and shoving down people’s throat.

And I never liked Budweiser or Bud Light. Shitty beers to say the least.

Promoting people based upon not just their sexual practices but their level of deviance is just sick. Eff Budweiser. Eff InBev. Eff everything they touch.

As a long time Budweiser drinker, I just bought Stag beer. AB is recalcitrant and I hope they go belly up.

Under the corporate fascism we live under, the only business decision that is relevant to these companies is pleasing the right people in government.

They might as well. Their homo clientele are the only people who drink that swill now.

The only freedom we have left in our current Fascist country is our consumer choices. Digital currency is going to nullify that.

In my old neighborhood, a "shot and a beer" was called a Boilermaker.

Now it can be a "shot and a Bud Light" and be called a Groomer.

Besides, nobody knows what a Boilermaker is, unless you bet on Purdue games.

AB might as well go for the queer market with both feet, because they’ve lost the conservative market.
