Planned Parenthood and the Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital, which medically transitions minors, are both also listed.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in St. Louis, Missouri, where Anheuser-Busch is headquartered, the company is listed as the presenting sponsor of the St. Louis Pride Parade. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bud-light-anheuser-busch-double-down-on-transgender-insanity-sponsor-pride-parades-across-the-u-s\/\" title=\"Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch sponsor Pride Parades, doubling down on transgender support.\">sponsorship packet explains<\/a> that there are only four \u201cpresenting sponsor\u201d slots available. The \u201cRainbow\u201d sponsorship tier, located below the \u201cpresenting sponsor\u201d tier, requires entities to pay $25,000.<\/p>\n<p>Bud Light is also listed as a \u201cDiamond Sponsor\u201d of Stonewall Columbus, which organizes and hosts the annual Columbus, Ohio, Pride Parade. The \u201cdiamond\u201d sponsorship tier requires companies to donate $20,000. The organization specifies that all sponsors must affirm Stonewall\u2019s diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and agree to donate no less than 8 hours of volunteer time during a calendar year.<\/p>\n<p>Anheuser-Busch was also listed as a premier sponsor for the San Francisco Pride Parade in 2022. The 2023 sponsors of the San Francisco Pride Parade have not yet been released.<\/p>\n<p>Bud Light was listed as a sponsor of the Chicago Pride Parade on a page that has since been scrubbed. Bud Light boasted that \u201cwe have a clear role to play in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-stonewall-inn-is-no-longer-serving-some-anheuser-busch-products\/\" title=\"The Stonewall Inn Is No Longer Serving Some Anheuser-Busch Products\">bringing real change<\/a> and creating an inclusive and equitable world where we cherish and celebrate one another.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Corona and Corona Hard Seltzer, products of Anheuser-Busch, are listed as sponsors of the upcoming Los Angeles Pride Parade.<\/p>\n<p>Cutwater Spirits, another Anheuser-Busch product, is listed as a sponsor of the 2023 Chicago Pride Fest, which will occur one week before the Chicago Pride Parade. The Pride Fest is a two-day festival that will include a \u201cbest of Chicago drag performance\u201d and \u201ca Youth Pride Space for teens.\u201d Children as young as 12 will be allowed to attend the \u201cyouth pride space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Bud Light sales have declined since its partnership with Mulvaney was revealed, and the company is even offering to buy back expiring cases of Bud Light from retailers. The controversy began when the company gave Mulvaney Bud Light cans with his face on them.<\/p>\n<p>Anson Frericks, the former president of sales and distribution of Anheuser-Busch, offered his prediction for the company\u2019s future in an interview with The Daily Wire, saying that he expects a \u201clong, hot, dry summer for Anheuser-Busch.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the backlash, Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch continue to sponsor multiple Pride events. While some may criticize the company&#8217;s motives, their financial support helps to fund important LGBTQ+ organizations and events. It remains to be seen how the controversy will affect the company&#8217;s bottom line, but for now, they are standing by their commitment to diversity and inclusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch are sponsoring three Pride events, including the Cincinnati Pride Parade, despite criticism over their partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
