Chicago gay bars dropping Bud Light, Goose Island amid backlash for transgender ad campaign

 Chicago gay bars dropping Bud Light, Goose Island amid backlash for transgender ad campaign (msn.com)   "Robertson and Mike Sullivan, who own four LGBTQ bars on Chicago’s North Side, decided to pull the company’s products — Bud Light, as well as the Chicago-based Goose Island — from its shelves, as have other Chicago bar owners who feel Anheuser-Busch’s decision was a reversal from its rainbow-branded support of the LGBTQ community.". . .

Paul Cascioli, director of operations, sorts through the bar's beer cooler that no longer contains
 Anheuser-Busch products Tuesday, May 9, 2023, at 2Bears Tavern in Uptown.

. . ."The company’s response came as in-store sales of Bud Light dropped throughout April, according to data from Bump Williams Consulting, a Connecticut-based firm that specializes in the alcoholic beverage industry."
