The countrys largest LGBTQ+ rights advocacy group is urging Anheuser-Busch to stand in solidarity with the transgender community amid backlash over its Bud Light partnership with TikToker Dylan Mulvaney .

In a letter issued this week, the Human Rights Campaign slammed the brewing company for its response to conservative outrage about the trans influencers sponsorship, according to a Friday report by The Hill .

When faced with anti-LGBTQ+ and transphobic criticism, Anheuser-Buschs actions demonstrate a profound lack of fortitude in upholding its values of diversity, equity, and inclusion, wrote HRC Senior Vice President Jay Brown.

This not only lends credence to hate-filled rhetoric, it exposes Anheuser-Busch to long-term business impacts with employees and customers increasingly looking for steadfast commitment to LGBTQ+ corporate citizenships.
