   Anheuser-Busch products will no longer be served at some gay bars in   
   Chicago in light of the beer giant's distancing from transgender   
   influencer Dylan Mulvaney.   
      
   2Bears Tavern Group, which owns four gay bars in the Windy City, called   
   out Anheuser-Busch InBev's "abandonment of its support" of Dylan Mulvaney   
   on Thursday.   
      
   The organization will no longer serve Anheuser-Busch beverages at their   
   bars, which includes Bud Light, Goose Island 312 and Busch Light.   
      
   Anheuser-Busch had partnered with Mulvaney in March, sending her a   
   personalized pack of beer as part of an ad for March Madness and   
   Mulvaney's first-year anniversary of her gender transition.

   The marketing move led to Anheuser-Busch losing roughly $5 billion in   
   market value and significant boycotts from conservative drinkers.   
      
   AB InBev CEO Michel Doukeris had downplayed his company's partnership with   
   Mulvaney to investors on Thursday, pointing to misinformation spread on   
   social media.   
      
   "We need to clarify the facts that this was one can, one influencer, one   
   post and not a campaign," Doukeris explained during an earnings call.   
      
   Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth put out a statement in April about   
   the controversy, saying that his company "never intended to be part of a   
   discussion that divides people."

   2Bears Tavern Group called Whitworth's remarks "reprehensible and   
   divisive," along with Anheuser-Busch's move to put two executives involved   
   in the campaign on leave.   
      
   "Anheuser-Busch's decision to drop its support of Mulvaney in response to   
   ignorant and hateful objections by some of its customers shows how little   
   Anheuser-Busch cares about the LGBTQIA+ community, and in particular   
   transgender people, who have been under unrelenting attack in this   
   country," the statement read.   
      
   "CEO Brendan Whitworth's excuse that Anheuser-Busch ‘never intended to be   
   part of a discussion that divides people’ was tantamount to saying that   
   the rights and safety of transgender people are topics worthy of debate,"   
   the statement added.   
      
   Anheuser-Busch told Fox News Digital that they have supported the LGBTQ+   
   community in the past and will continue to do so.   
      
   "We remain committed to the programs and partnerships we have forged over   
   decades with organizations to drive economic prosperity across a number of   
   communities, including those in the LGBTQ+ community," the spokesperson   
   said.   
      
   Okay so you throw out the 98% for 2%.  Good, keep that thought and let's   
   see if we can drop your sales on other products IN BEV has in the kitty.
