"Conservatives online are expressing new grievances against the LGBTQ+ community and companies supportive of them by digging up old ad campaigns, most recently by the automaker Ford.
Bud Light, via its partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, drew widespread attention and negative publicity for the brand's parent company, Anheuser-Busch, leading to top executives taking leaves of absence and drastic drops in sales.
Ford was mentioned on Twitter due to an ad that was resurrected by online users relating to the "Very Gay Raptor" that was initially introduced in the United Kingdom in June 2022.
