On Wednesday, the Stonewall Inn, the landmark New York City bar widely regarded as the birthplace of the modern-day LGBTQ rights movement, has banned Anheuser-Busch products, including popular beers like Bud Light, Stella Artois, and Michelob ULTRA, from the bar during NYC Pride weekend in protest of the company’s donations to anti-LGBTQ politicians.
The “pour out” protest saw employees of the Stonewall Inn, as well as community members, emptying bottles of the three beers into the street, as a public show of solidarity with the LGBTQ community. From June 25-27, the historic gay bar will not offer any Anheuser-Busch products to patrons.
