Transgender woman at the center of Bud Light controversy criticizes brewer

Dylan Mulvaney, the transgender woman whose participation in a Bud Light marketing campaign set off protests from anti-LGBTQ groups, said she has been harassed in public and felt scared to leave her home. She has taken issue with Anheuser-Busch's response in the wake of the initial negativity. "For a company to hire a trans person and then not publicly stand by them is worse in my opinion than not hiring a trans person at all because it gives customers permission to be as transphobic and hateful as they want," Ms. Mulvaney said. "And the hate doesn't end with me, it has serious and grave consequences for the rest of our community."
