American homosexual activist Dylan Mulvaney breaks silence on Bud Light controversy: ‘I grew up in a conservative family’

The transgender influencer’s deal with Bud Light sparked nationwide outrage

Homosexual social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney said she comes from a conservative, church-going family that still loves her "very much" in a return to social media. This all follows an extended absence on the heels of the outrage-inducing partnership with Bud Light. 

Mulvaney admitted she is struggling with cruelness and "dehumanization" from critics of her polarizing Bud Light campaign and noted it’s clear that "winning over everyone" is simply impossible. 

"Day 9,610 of being a human, and I’m going to try to leave gender out of this since that’s how we found ourselves here. I’ve been offline for a few weeks, and a lot has been said about me, some of which is so far from my truth that I was like hearing my name and I didn’t even know who they were talking about sometimes," Mulvaney said. "It’s a very dissociative feeling." 

Beer juggernaut Anheuser-Busch has been hit with significant backlash, boycotts and even a leadership shakeup since Mulvaney revealed earlier this month that the beer company sent packs of Bud Light with her face printed on the cans as part of an ad for the beer company’s March Madness contest and as a way to celebrate a full year of "girlhood."

A second video then featured a bikini-clad Mulvaney frolicking in a bathtub while drinking a Bud Light beer as part of the campaign. Backlash was been significant, starting with many pondering if the pact was some sort of April Fool’s gag. In the days since, country music singer John Rich said he pulled cases of Bud Light from his Nashville bar, conservative rocker Kid Rock used several Bud Light cases for target practice in a viral video, Anheuser-Busch distributors in rural areas have expressed concern and the beer juggernaut’s value took a hit. 

Mulvaney addressed the backlash in her return to social media.
