Tbh I'm still in shock that the usually well informed online queer space made bud light a trans icon. Anheuser-Busch donates to Republican candidates that are introducing bigotted bills against trans people
As far as I can tell, this is what happened:
Anheuser-Busch send one (1) bespoke label Bud Light to a trans influencer.
Fascists proceed to flip out as if that one beer was a declaration of war against transphobia.
Some people figure (quite wrongly) that the enemy of their enemy is their friend and embrace the GOP-supporting piss-water.
Mainly because Coors was heavily, directly anti gay rights for decades. Bud got the green light by being the less obvious evil, and then it became the default.
