The Politics of Beer: Bud Light's Controversial Collaboration with a Transgender Activist

This video explores the recent controversy surrounding Bud Light's gift of a personalized beer pack featuring the face of transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, and the subsequent backlash it received from conservative voices.

The politicization of beer in recent times is discussed, as well as Anheuser-Busch InBev's seeming support of the LGBTQ+ community, despite the company's attempts to remain neutral following the backlash.

The concept of "rainbow-washing" is also explored, as well as the role of corporate sponsorship in supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
