Via email from the Family Research Council:
In the last week, trans-identifying activist Dylan Mulvaney, a man who dons makeup and dresses while documenting his journey to “girlhood” on social media, announced paid partnerships with Bud Light and Nike.
Thankfully, it appears that the more companies that hire Mulvaney to parody women in order to sell their product, the more ire they draw as Americans become increasingly fed up with corporate trans activism.
Bud Light’s willingness to promote a figure who deeply offends women has also drawn public backlash from celebrities. Musical artist Kid Rock took to social media to share a video of himself outside, shooting up a pack of Bud Light with a gun.
Likewise, country music star Travis Tritt shared, “I will be deleting all Anheuser-Busch products from my tour hospitality rider. I know many other artists who are doing the same.”
In order for boycotts and calls to action to achieve real change, we must sacrifice a luxury that has become all too commonly expected in our modern American lives: convenience. Researching, recording, and keeping tabs on companies with a demonstrated history of contradicting your values is inconvenient.
Returning gifts that you’ve already purchased, choosing new favorites for your pantry, and changing the brands that once defined your personal style is all inconvenient.
If you’re considering boycotting brands that sponsor Dylan Mulvaney’s hateful mockery of women, it’s time to take a page out of Nike’s book: just do it.
REMINDER: When powerful national Christian groups with millions of members call for boycotts, that is a righteous use of the free market in order to preserve morality, marriage, family, and the American way. But when pro-LGBT folks call for a boycott, THAT is homofascist intimidation, intolerance, bullying, economic terrorism, a stifling of religious liberty, and an attempt to deny the freedom of speech. And don’t you forget it.
I will be deleting all Anheuser-Busch products from my tour hospitality rider. I know many other artists who are doing the same.

Travis Tritt hasn’t had a hit this century. Seems he should be more worried about that than some beer promo.

There is always receipts! Here we have Kid Rock enjoying a bud light next to a drag Queen. It didn’t bother him back them. Yeah that’s right….he’s now trying to stay relevant so he spews fake outrage. But if it didn’t bother him then, it doesn’t really bother him now. pic.twitter.com/iTK82ITvGG

Kid Rock is all fired up amid Bud Light’s decision to partner up with a transgender activist — and we mean that literally — ’cause he’s out firing bullets over the whole thing. https://t.co/TrgFXzfJw7
