Bud Light’s involvement as an official sponsor of the Toronto Pride parade has sparked more controversy. As video footage circulates online, concerns arise over the presence of naked men engaging in provocative activities in full view of children attending the event.

The footage, brought to light by Beth Baisch of the Post Millennial, reveals a procession of naked bikers, some adorned with paint or tattoos, joyfully riding past a cheering crowd.

Among them, one can see a naked man exchanging a high-five with an onlooker, while another confidently pedals a recumbent bike while sporting a gold blow-up swan around his neck.

In a separate video, a group of naked men wearing hats stands together in a circle, while several children pass by with their families. In yet another clip, a person dressed in a giant penis costume captures the attention of a young girl sitting in a stroller.

The concern lies not only in the explicit behavior on display but also in the fact that children are unwittingly exposed to such scenes.

Many people argue that events like these should exercise caution to ensure they remain family-friendly environments. The presence of children at an event where nudity and sexually suggestive costumes are prevalent raises valid questions about appropriate boundaries.

Adding to the controversy, the Bud Light branding is prominently displayed throughout the event.

Videos show naked men frolicking and rinsing themselves off near a fountain, while a nearby stage showcases scantily clad dancers in fishnets, nipple stickers, and peculiar sock-like masks—all against the backdrop of Bud Light logos.

In response to the uproar, Bud Light Canada defends its partnership with Pride Toronto, emphasizing a decade-long association and its commitment to supporting the LGBTQ+ community.

“Bud Light Canada has been a proud partner of Pride Toronto for the last 10 years. This year, we’re commemorating this milestone with Pride Toronto by featuring them on our can design, as well as continuing as the official beer sponsor of the festival,” the beer brand’s website states.

Additionally, Bud Light Canada donates $100,000 to various organizations across the country that champion the cause of the LGBTQUA2S+ community.

However, neither Anheuser-Busch nor Pride Toronto provided a comment when approached for their perspectives on the matter.

This recent sponsorship by Bud Light follows a controversial partnership with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney a few months ago. The decision to collaborate with Mulvaney sparked significant backlash and adversely impacted the brand’s sales, resulting in a substantial loss of market value.

Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth, seeking to address the mounting concerns, released a damage control statement

“We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer,” he said.

“My time serving this country taught me the importance of accountability and the values upon which America was founded: freedom, hard work and respect for one another. As CEO of Anheuser-Busch, I am focused on building and protecting our remarkable history and heritage,” he continued.

Despite facing the negative consequences of their previous collaboration, Bud Light continued to provoke its conservative customer base by co-sponsoring an “all-ages Pride event” called “Pride in the Pines” in Flagstaff, Arizona on June 17. The event, slated as a “family-friendly festival,” features drag queens and various performers.

Critics argue that hosting such events under the banner of family entertainment further blurs the lines of appropriateness and alienates a significant portion of the consumer base.

The Bud Light controversy raises important questions about the intersection of corporate sponsorship of woke events that cause discourse verses honoring their consumers who hold traditional values dear.

It is likely this latest event will do little to the help a brand that once dominated the domestic beer market, yet now are unable to move their product recover.
