There is some potentially conflicting information going out right now regarding Bud Light sponsoring a pride event After Party in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Apparently after it became news, Anheuser-Busch reached out to media outlets to make a correction and directed the presses to a Flagstaff Pride tweet showing a corrected poster without the Bud Light sponsorship.

The thing is, there's still the pride event before this after party.
Of which they are "the presenting sponsor."

As of yet, no correction is being reported about this "Pride in the Park" sponsorship. No other corrected posters, either.
Again, they are running around as headless chickens as they are ground zero for the backlash, Target being the second impact
If I were to guess, their marketing department is full of ivy league idiots that keep trying to insist that LGBT are the next market and that an 'America ad' would appease naysayers on the right
It didn't
So now these same idiots don't know if they double down or try to go more 'merica' not knowing the best they could have done is apologise then shut the fuck up but that solution passed 2 months ago so like a MCAS on a 737 max they're nosediving into the ground as the pilots panic with no control of the plane.
From now on, ALL drag shows are sponsored by Bud Light.
