The Bud Light Controversy: Kid Rock, LGBTQ Support, and Online Silence

Bud Light has not posted on social media since its partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney sparked a backlash and calls for a boycott. Mulvaney had posted a video on Instagram thanking Bud Light for sending her a personalized can with her face on it to commemorate a year of being a trans woman. The controversy highlights the debate over the inclusion of transgender women in female spaces and issues. Despite defending the partnership, Bud Light's parent company, Anheuser-Busch, has remained silent on social media. The issue has also affected other brands, including Hershey's and Jack Daniel's.
