Thursday kicked off Pride Month activities across the country. But rising anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment is complicating the celebrations this year.
Nearly 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced in state legislatures this year alone. And corporate allyship seems to be waning, as the social backlash from members of the right-wing puts pressure on companies.
We talk to Tuck Woodstock, journalist, educator and host of the "Gender Reveal" podcast, to gather his thoughts on how people from the community are responding.

Basically, the LGBTQ+ crowd is saying if you don’t “celebrate our lifestyle choice and let us influence your children”, well then you hate. What a bunch of horse hockey.

Does Deuteronomy 22:5 mean that women should wear dresses?
Since we now live under grace rather than under the law, Deuteronomy 22:5 is not a required law. God establishes principles, not laws.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - That is why we must not make "Protected Classes of People" in our Country. Racism is Racism, Discrimination is Discrimination, no matter who practices Racism and Discrimination, it is wrong. MHO

I disagree with the statement, "as the social backlash from members of the right-wing puts pressure on companies". Bud Light's parent Anheuser-Busch’s stock has lost $27B over Dylan Mulvaney and its NOT because of "right-wing pressure", but because their customer base said screw'm.

Exactly! Some companies are losing money because they made poor business decisions plain and simple.

That was a piss poor business decision basing future customer base against an established customer base now. It backfired. No social pressure, just a screwed up business decision.

I like the poster.
Many other corporations have folded to the "woke" mentality and run the risk of pushback and boycotts.
Elements of the LGBTQ+ have vowed to attack Christianity and eliminate it.
Parents need to protect their children from the BS coming out of this.

SGT (Join to see) - It's completely normal for the market to defy the experts projections based on financial forecasts rather than wishful thinking by the partisan left. The business acumen of the left is amazing and your comments are worthy of the great left economist Representative Ocasio-Cortez' and her belief that “unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs.”
3/20/2023 - (Forbes) Anheuser-Busch InBev’s revenue of $57.8 billion in 2022 reflected a 6% y-o-y rise, led by both price and volume gains. Total volume was up 2% in 2022. Despite its recent rise, we believe BUD stock has more room for growth, and investors will likely see substantial gains in the long run. We forecast sales to grow 8% to $62 billion in 2023, aided by favorable price realization.
5/30/23 - (Newsweek) Bud Light Sales Drop 29.5 Percent in Latest Week Since Boycott Calls. According to data by Bump Williams Consulting and Nielsen IQ, provided to Newsweek, in the week ending May 20, sales volume—the number of units of beer sold—declined 29.5 percent compared to the same period last year, while sales revenue was down 25.7 percent on the same week in 2022. In the four weeks to May 20, Bud Light sales revenue—the brand's dollar income—was 24.3 percent lower than the same time last year, while co-brand Budweiser recorded a 10.5 percent hit in the same period. In the four weeks to April 29—which covers the first month of the controversy—the beer brand saw an overall decline in sales revenue of 17.2 percent off a 21.4 percent drop in volume.

MSG Joseph Cristofaro - Very good point. I was previously going to post something like that - there are even at least 25 countries where you could end up in prison for 10 years or even be put to death for being LGBTQ+ ... but let's talk about how it's a violation of human rights if you don't allow a transgender woman compete on a woman's sports team.
