Whitworth had initially addressed the backlash over Dylan’s video two weeks after it started. In mid-April Whitworth said in a statement on social media, saying, “We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.”
This response drew criticism from many members of the LGBTQ+ community.
However, after he was asked on CBS Mornings if sending the can to Dylan was a mistake, Whitworth affirmed the company’s support of the LGBTQ+ community.
“Bud Light has supported LGBTQ since 1998, so that’s 25 years,” he said. “As we’ve said from the beginning, we’ll continue to support the communities and organizations that we’ve supported for decades. But as we move forward, we want to focus on what we do best, which is brewing great beer for everyone, listening to our consumers, being humble in listening to them, making sure we do right by our employees, take care and support our partners and ultimately, make an impact in the communities that we serve.”
