Transgender Influencer Faces Backlash Over Partnership with Bud Light
- Bud Light sales dropped and executives took a leave of absence after partnering with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
- Mulvaney received death threats and criticism over the partnership, calling it "cruel" and "dehumanizing."
- Mulvaney has earned over $1 million from brand deals but wants to be hired for who she is, not just because she's trans.
- Despite the controversy, Mulvaney's supporters argue that the backlash came from a small minority and that popular opinion supports trans rights.
- Anheuser-Busch defended the partnership but faced significant financial consequences, though its stock value has since recovered.
