And from our “What have they been drinking?” file, even after losing $27 billion in market value due to an association with “trans” social media figure Dylan Mulvaney, Anheuser Busch announced that it was marking “Pride Month” by donating $200,000 to the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce to empower “LGBTQ+-owned businesses.” Sounds like Anheuser Busch is one of those businesses that the LGBTQ+ movement has completely owned.

The team issued a statement reading, “Our commitment is to make everyone feel welcome and included in Rangers baseball. That means in our ballpark, at every game, and in all we do — for both our fans and our employees. We deliver on that promise across our many programs to have a positive impact across our entire community.”
