Dylan Mulvaney claims she was shunned by Bud Light following transphobic backlash
Influencer Dylan Mulvaney shared that Bud Light never reached out to her after facing transphobia from her ad with them. In a TikTok uploaded on Thursday, Mulvaney, a transgender woman who has used her platform to document her transition, spoke about her experience after doing an ad for Bud Light. Mulvaney had posted an Instagram video of her drinking Bud Light back in April. The ad led to an onslaught of transphobia and threats directed towards the 26-year-old as well as some conservatives and anti-trans campaigners boycotting Bud Light. Some even went so far as to destroy Bud Light products in stores. The TikTok, which currently has over 1.5 million likes and over 8 million views, started with Mulvaney drinking beer saying "one thing I will not tolerate people saying about me is that I don't like beer," she smiles. "Because I love beer and I always have." She goes on to talk about the brand partnership with Bud Light saying: "I'm bringing it up because what transpired from that video was more bullying and transphobia than I could have ever imagined." Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter "I was scared, I was scared of more backlash and I felt personally guilty for what transpired so I patiently waited for things to get better. But surprise, they haven't really," explaining why she was speaking about it now. "And I was waiting for the brand to reach out to me but they never did. And for months now, I've been scared to leave my house. I have been ridiculed in public. I've been followed. And I have felt a loneliness I wouldn't wish on anyone." @dylanmulvaney Trans people like beer too. ?️⚧️? The revelation that Bud Light had not reached out to Mulvaney after she faced bullying and harassment from their customers left many viewers shocked and appalled: "For a company to hire a trans person and then not publicly stand by them is worse, in my opinion, than not hiring a trans person at all," Mulvaney told viewers. "Because it gives customers permission to be as transphobic and hateful as they want. And the hate doesn't end with me, it has serious and grave consequences for the rest of our community and you know we're customers too, I know a lot of trans and queer people who love beer and I have some lesbian friends who could drink some of those haters under the table." "And all this is to say bottom line is that if you follow me, if I've made you smile, if you care about me, I need you to care about every trans person and I need you to support us and I need you to stand by us." At the end of her video, she added: "It's still Pride month, I'm gonna celebrate being alive and I'm gonna celebrate the trans people in my life and the ones I haven't met yet. And I'm going to celebrate the fact that no matter how many thousands of horrible messages or news anchors misgendering me or companies going silent that I can look in the mirror and see the woman that I am and that I love being." Mulvaney's video comes after Bud Light's parent company Anheuser-Busch's CEO Brendan Whitworth gave an exclusive interview to CBS Mornings on Wednesday. During the interview' he acknowledged it had been a "tough few weeks" for the company. "The conversation has become divisive," he said. "Bud Light has supported LGBTQ [people] since 1998, so that's 25 years, and as we've said from the beginning we'll continue to support the communities and organisations that we have supported for decades."

Mother buys her daughter's Taylor Swift tickets then dies the night of the concert
Two sisters have taken to TikTok to talk about their mother passing whilst the two were at a Taylor Swift concert. The video features a text overlay that reads “our mom died while we were at the Taylor Swift concert” and was posted by user @lindsorito. The caption reads: “this [is] us coping”. In the TikTok clip, which currently has over 11 million views, creator Linds and her sister Morgan shared the story of being surprised with tickets to see Swift on her Reputation tour back in Christmas of 2017. However, two weeks before the sisters and their mother were supposed to attend the concert, their mother’s cancer spread to her brain and she was in hospice and unresponsive. The sisters stood by her side every day, but ultimately decided to go to the show. “We talked with out dad, and we just decided that she would still want us to go to the concert,” Linds explained, with Morgan adding that Ally, her best friend from college, took their mum’s ticket for the night. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter @lindsorito this us us coping #erastourtaylorswift #griefandloss @Morgan After the concert the girls received a message from their dad that read: “You guys need to come here now.” In that moment the girls said they knew their mom had died. They also sadly added that a year after the concert Ally, who had attended the Reputation show with them, was murdered. The two girls then went to divulge into a “weird coincidence” between their mother and Taylor Swift. Going on to say that “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” is releasing exactly five years after their mother passed away. At the end of the video, the sister say that their dad had given them something that they couldn’t open until their Eras tour concert. In a follow-up video, the two shared that it was “a letter from my dad written to us from the perspective of my mom in heaven, sating she’s so proud of us for all the stuff we’ve done since she died and that we should have so much fun tonight.” @lindsorito update on the letter!! sorry it took a bit!! @Morgan Many viewers left their condolences and support in the comment section of the original video. Many said they were sorry for the sister’s losses, others said that their mother was “with them in spirit” at the Taylor Swift show. Have your say in our news democracy.
