Bud Light's Executive Responsible For Dylan Mulvaney Ad Put On Leave Of Absence—But This Might Not Be The Win We Think It Is
When Bud Light released an advertisement with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney, the internet responded strongly and many banded together to start a boycott of the Anheuser Busch brand.
The transgender movement has seeped into mainstream culture in various different ways, particularly when it comes to brand sponsorships and corporate America. Dylan Mulvaney, a gay man who decided to start a "journey into girlhood" on TikTok, rose quickly to fame and gained millions of followers. He was even able to save up enough money from social media endeavors to get facial feminization surgery and perform a live show for his 365th day of "girlhood." In the last few months, Dylan has racked up a number of sponsored ads with various different brands, from Maybelline to Nike. There was one partnership in particular that stood out: Dylan's ad for Bud Light.
