This month, Bud Light partnered with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, a former gay man who now dresses as a woman and has risen to corporate leftist stardom with his viral TikTok videos chronicling his day-to-day “transition” to a woman.

Anheuser-Busch executives have defended the partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, writing in a statement that their “commemorative can” for the transgender activist is meant to “celebrate a personal milestone” such as his 365th day of calling himself a woman.
