Transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, central to the Bud Light marketing controversy, was honored as “Woman of the Year” by Attitude Magazine.
“Woman of the Year”
The renowned transgender activist and influential figure who found themselves at the heart of the controversial Bud Light marketing campaign has now been proudly bestowed with the coveted title of “Woman of the Year” by Attitude Magazine, a prominent UK publication.
Dylan Mulvaney’s name now graces this prestigious award, which was celebrated with an official announcement via the magazine’s social media account.
The grand recognition was unveiled with great fanfare, recognizing Mulvaney’s significant contributions to the LGBTQ+ community and their ceaseless efforts in advocating for transgender rights and acceptance.
Dylan Confronted Naysayers
The glittering event took place at the grand stage of the 2023 Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards, held in the vibrant city of London, England.
Amidst an atmosphere brimming with celebration and solidarity, Mulvaney accepted the award for “Woman of the Year.”
Mulvaney’s acceptance speech was powerful and touching, as they fearlessly confronted individuals who had unfairly denied their identity as a woman.
Mulvaney’s words were felt in the hearts of many, carrying a message of resilience and defiance against bigotry and prejudice.
“Never Reach an Acceptable Version of Womanhood”
“No matter how hard I try, or what I wear, or what I say, or what surgeries I get, I will never reach an acceptable version of womanhood by those hateful people’s standards,” declared the impassioned activist.
“But as long as the queer community sees me for my truth, I’m going to be OK,” she stated.
This award marks another high point in a journey that has not been without its share of challenges.
The infamous partnership with Bud Light in April had unexpectedly triggered a strong backlash, resulting in a significant downturn in sales for the beer brand and its parent company, Anheuser-Busch.
Mulvaney, later vocal about the lack of support from critics, had stern words for the company.
Most People Supported The Boycott
Despite reassurances from a Bud Light executive that the brand would eventually rebound from the controversy, doubts linger.
In fact, a group of distributors in July had resigned themselves to the belief that retail sales may never return to their previous heights.
The public’s reaction to the Bud Light campaign was a telling one, with more Americans expressing support for the boycott against the brand than those in favor of it.
In the midst of adversity, Mulvaney’s resilience and advocacy work continued to receive recognition.
“I’m Going to Have a Beer”
In August, they received the “Breakout Creator” award at the esteemed 13th Annual Streamy Awards, honoring online video content creators.
The acceptance speech at the Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards concluded with a nod to the Bud Light controversy, a moment of unity and closure for Mulvaney and their loyal supporters.
“I’m gonna go have a beer, and I love ya!” they declared, embracing the future with positivity and grace.
