    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”.

    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.
