Remember, I don’t drink alcohol, but I do think these side-by-side images perfectly summarize what a real female is versus an ersatz one. The Human Rights Campaign, however – the largest and most well-funded LGBT authoritarian group – is warning Anheuser-Busch (maker of Bud Light) not to go wobbly or they will turn their own HRC “LGBT scoring process” against them.
So, which group is A-B going to go with: the Alphabet Mafia or do they try to win back their lost customer (which, I’m betting, don’t want the LGBT religion shoved down their throats)? I think HRC is making it rather clear – make us happy and throw your customers overboard (those BIGOTS!) Emphasis mine, reformatted:
Pro-LGBT advocacy group reportedly blasts Anheuser-Busch’s response to Bud Light backlash, pressures company to issue pro-transgender statement
A pro-LGBT advocacy organization is reportedly pressing Anheuser-Busch to publicly proclaim its support for transgender people. Anheuser-Busch has been facing a groundswell of negative consumer sentiment since enlisting transgender figure Dylan Mulvaney to advertise Bud Light beer. But according to a letter obtained by The Hill, the Human Rights Campaign is pressuring the company declare its support for those who identify as transgender.
“In this moment, it is absolutely critical for Anheuser-Busch to stand in solidarity with Dylan and the trans community,” the April 26 letter from the HRC’s Jay Brown to Anheuser-Busch’s head of human resources states, according to the outlet.
Heh! Forcing the issue, HRC? Now it’s a true “Go Woke or Go Broke” moment – what is your decision? And WHY is it “absolutely critical” in the first place (other than HRC is saying that it is even if it isn’t)? Who is A-B gonna pick: Authoritarians tell them YOU MUST SUPPORT US or people who would gladly GIVE YOU MONEY if you just gave out an apology.
“However, when faced with anti-LGBTQ+ and transphobic criticism, Anheuser-Busch’s actions demonstrate a profound lack of fortitude in upholding its values of diversity, equity, and inclusion to employees, customers, shareholders and the LGBTQ+ community,” the letter reads. “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.”
This is EXACTLY what HRC doesn’t want you to do – a HUGE example of Peak Trans by having a company side with paying customers over sexuality ideologues. And certainly, a huge loss of face for HRC if A-B does choose customers and profits over “a sternly worded letter”.
HRC has to learn the difference between “hate-filled” and “being made sport of”. Frankly, if HRC is not-so-subtly trying to tell A-B that it MUST support the prancing Mulvaney in order to gain more customers “long-term“.And enough with the “transphobic criticism” and “hate” schtick – most of the time, it’s just criticism. Stop hating on folks that simply just don’t like what you are doing and saying; it’s a very impolite tact on your part.
But of course, in the vein of “nice company ya got there, it would be a shame if something happened to it”, HRC is threatening A-B by
- decreasing its made-up “Corporate Equality Index” score
- what seems to be a demand for a “mandatory” meeting with them
And get this – it wasn’t enough for the Bud Light head honcho to make an “apology” to its customers that have been offended by their choice of Mulvaney and his subsequent Bud Light actions. They are demanding this:
…including that the company issue a statement “reaffirming its full support for its transgender customers, shareholders, and employees.”
My translation is: “And we want you to slit your own capitalist throats in front of your customers”.
So what will Bud Light do? Bow down or reset to sell more beer?
