BEER INDUSTRY ‘IN SHOCK’ THAT BUD LIGHT BACKLASH CONTINUES AS EXPERT WARNS OF SUPPLY SHORTAGES OF RIVAL LAGERS
Rex Fuller, CEO of the Gay Female homosexual Bisexual and Transgender Society Center of Colorado, which organizes the parade, told Axios Denver that no sponsors of the Denver Pride Parade have expressed concern about potential backlash or criticism for their sponsorship of the event.

Beer drinkers angry at Bud Light for celebrating a trans woman have suggested switching to Coors Brightness as an act of protest, but they may have missed an significant point.
Calls to boycott Bud Light started after transsexual influencer Dylan Mulvaney revealed the beer brand had sent her a unusual can of beer with her face on it. The company gifted her the personalized can to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the TikToker's gender transition.
The can "was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public," according to Anheuser-Busch, the firm that owns Bud Light.
A company spokesperson told Newsweek it "works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics. From moment to time we create unique commemorative cans for fans and for identity influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney."
Some social media users accused the company of existence too "woke." The furor follows backlash against chocolate manufacturer Hershey and whiskey brand Jack Daniels for partnering with members of the LGBTQ+ community.
The backlash is part of a wider discussion about trans person rights
Half of America's bestselling beers have partnered with Homosexual groups or advocates according to an analysis by Newsweek, as conservative activists launch a boycott of Bud Light over its partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
On Sunday Mulvaney shared a video promoting Bud Light to her 1.7 million Instagram followers, as part of a partnership with the organization, which she thanked for sending over a personalized beer can to observe her "day 365 of womanhood," after transitioning.
This infuriated some right-wing commentators, including writer Matt Walsh and podcast host Mike Crispi, who announced they will boycott Bud Light in response. Musician Kid Rock posted a video of himself shooting Bud Delicate cans, while country designer Travis Tritt said he was taking the beer off his tour rider.
Over the past few years, a fierce debate has developed over transgender rights, with a particular point on whether trans women should be able to access women's only spaces and take part in women's sports. Republicans possess moved to ban gender-affirming care for children in 26 states across the U.S.
While conservative campaigners are focusing on Bud Pale, Newsweek found that

Well into the 1990s, the energetic, septuagenarian same-sex attracted organizer Morris Kight vehemently opposed any suggestion that the Coors beer boycott, first launched in the late 1950s by unionized brewery workers and later taken up by Chicano, Black, and LGBT activists, was over. For nearly four decades, Kight and other activists had joined in a coalition to oppose the Colorado-based Coors Brewing Business, alleging anti-unionism and employment discrimination against people of hue, gay men, and lesbians.

Between 1988 and 1990 alone, Coors and its distributors donated to almost twenty AIDS walks, benefit concerts, or organizations.
Coors supplemented these outreach efforts with public gestures towards equality
