Beer maker Anheuser-Buschs has lost its LGBTQ certification, reports Daily Mail.
The decision comes after the collaboration with the influencer Dylan Mulvaney where the trans person advertised in social media for the bestseller Bud light – which caused great anger and a boycott of the company.
According to the human rights group Human Rights Campaign, Anheuser-Busch did not do enough to defend Mulvaney, who received death threats after the collaboration.
The decision also comes after Senator Ted Cruz announced that a state investigation should be conducted because authorities suspect the company knowingly targeted advertising to minors.
In an email about the revoked certification, which the Daily Mail has seen, the Human Rights Campaign writes that the company “is no longer a safe place for LGBTQ people to work”.

“Instead of pushing for increased growth by rapidly training B-police officers, the politicians need to make it more attractive to choose the police profession,” she writes.
von Sydow instead suggests an extended education with increased opportunities to read further.

What happened to the elderly man who refused to move his car after having his tires punctured by mats of nails last winter?
Anna
Hi Anna!
The last I read about him was in The Wermlands newspaper in November.
Then he would buy a new car after living in the old one for two weeks. He then said that he intended to lift the broken car into the air and leave it at the scene.
He also told us at Aftonbladet that he would register the old car at the National Police Board.
