No , but I think it’s funny that people get bent out of shape over it, it’s a marketing tool that’s all it is, Even though I hate Bud Light to begin with , watered down piss beer , so many other beers have did the same thing so it just goes to show how fucked up people are in this world. I did laugh at some of the jokes that people were making about Bud Light but that’s all, it was all in humor , but to get bent out of shape over it , is so stupid in my opinion, I wouldn’t stop drinking a beer because of it, it’s marketing that’s all it is

Nope. If you understand business, you understand this---largely they don't support causes unless it will yield profit. They know that during June in particular, they can mass market products aimed at the LGBTQI+ community. They will also be a large presence at various festivals and organizations that support the community---for profit. Large companies are never truly altruistic. They support because next year they know those groups or people will seek out their products again and put them on their shelves and seek business agreements with them for long term contracts. So for the people all up in arms, they are actually mad at a company for figuring out a way to use a group or groups to make more money. All they have to do is ask themselves where are the Pride bottles on the shelves in January or November?
I think it's great. Now if I see a guy with a rainbow bottle I know he's gay and it's a waste of time flirting with him.
I find it annoying.
It is political and I think products are idiotic to get political.
Also, I hate it is a made up, bullshit issue that does not even exist.
"SUPPORT"? They are American citizens and they have the same rights everyone else has and there is no cause or issue at all. They aren't oppressed and they don't need any support. It is a stupid non issue.
I don't drink beer so nothing will change in my beer buying habits. I don't buy beer anyway.

Nobody really cares. I actually don't know many who drank bud light to begin with. I think most people don't like to be played and that's what bud light tried to do with this fake contraversey. All a marketing ploy to try to make people think that they are a good person supporting LGBTQ rights by drinking bud light. Nike are trying to do the same thing.
No I think it´s something rather hilarious how companies try to do so now that it´s mainstream literally any company tries to be that. It´s nothing special and they probably fear losing people more than being actually interested in supporting that community.
No. I have nothing against the LGBTQ+ community and don't think a company should be BOYCOTTED over supporting them. But whatever. People just love to whine and complain about things. I don't even drink alcohol to begin with, so this particular case is irrelevant to me.
Kids are getting shot up in schools, and people are losing their minds over rainbow-colored drink cans. Give me a break.
I dont care if they support the LGBTQ... Its the fact that they support a single person who makes a mockery of both women and the trans community. Seriously. The man is an actor. Nothing more. Its the equivalent of being dressed in "woman face".. Pick any other trans person and im ok with it. But Dylan? Fuck that piece of shit.
Mad? No. I just won't support their company in any way for the rest of my life. They can lose money however they want to. I'll spend my with real brewers that focus on making good beer, not political faggots.
No but considering the small percentage of the population that community is I don’t know why they are trying to cater to a small percentage of people if they want large volumes of sales? Usually they promote to a larger audiences to get the most sales if they want the most money, it’s not really logical if you want to stay in business
I am, infact I'm glad I don't drink beer anymore and I'm glad other agree with me and kid rocks response to Bud Light was the best. Getting sick of this clown world woke BS.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/st1VPPGUvpUI don’t even know why so much attention for LGBTQ.. etc
There is much more problems and causes maybe to support. We already got it they want freedom they have it.. now what..! Like GTFOH..No, I think the people who are "mad", like kid rock, are just upset that they're the ones who aren't being "given more money" to advertise the beer. Kid rock doesn't need more money, trust me
I think it is completely wrong. It is targeting a certain group for the sale of alcohol. They can be cued over it. Besides if they do for one group and not another the is it discrimination and prejudice. I believe that is why the whole marketing team was fired.
They're corporations, they don't support or care about LGBTQ it's all just pandering and advertising.
It's honestly insane to me how triggered some of these guys get over what is essentially just lip service and rainbow packaging.I'm not mad at them supporting them but unless the business is actually donating some of there profits to a LGBTQ charity from what they sell with this promo stuff I think it's tacky and in poor taste
I don’t understand why companies do this. Personally I don’t drink alcohol, but it’s such a poor marketing move to support any demographic simply because you’re excluding everyone else by giving special recognition to one group
No. If I drank beer I would think I'm not the target clientele of company that sells LGBTQ promoting stuff and there are other beer brands who aim for clientele like me
Not mad, but confused on why and why now.
To me it sounds like a political stunt.
I also believe this will hurt their gross total sales.
All I hear at the bar how many now refuse to drink Budweiser beer because of this.
Yeah as it's dog whistle advertising. Little different to "no Blacks, no dogs" in bygone days.
They are basically pitting one demographic against another to profit from both.
Got nothing against gay guys or lesbians. But if a company is promoting XX genders - straight - lesbians - gays and come with a non zero number then I will contribute to 'go woke, go broke'.
I’m not mad but companies have been doing this for quite some time now. It’s just a crappy beer.

No, since I don't drink beer it doesn't concern me in the least. I love the Budweiser Clydesdales though.
