Watch: Dylan Mulvaney Wins Streamy Award, Pushes Back on Hate and Transphobia

Accepting the prize for Breakthrough Creator at the Streamy Awards on Aug. 27, trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney pushed back on "extreme" hate – and said she was going to celebrate with a beer.

Mulvaney was "dressed in a red satin minidress and matching sparkly kitten heels," UK newspaper the Daily Mail noted.

Accepting the award, Mulvaney told the audience, "532 days ago I made a coming out video that turned into my 'Days of Girlhood' series," in which Mulvaney shared her gender confirmation journey with her followers.

"My life has been changed for the better," the influencer added, "but on the flip side there's also been an extreme amount of transphobia and hate. And I know that my community is feeling it, and I now know that even our allies are feeling it."

Mulvaney's comments came in the wake of record numbers of anti-LGBTQ+ measures being contemplated and passed by GOP-led state legislatures, with transgender people – especially trans youth – bearing the brunt of some of the most hostile legislation.

Even so, the actor and influencer urged her listeners to be active advocates for the transgender community.

"'I look around this room and I just see so many amazing allies that have platforms, and I think allyship right now needs to look differently, and you need to support trans people publicly and proudly," Mulvaney added as cheers erupted.

CNN recalled that thanks to Mulvaney's TikTok posts, she "gained a following on the platform for her posts on musical theater and trans advocacy. Mulvaney secured several brand sponsorships as a result, including a digital ad for Bud Light."

Such partnerships between major brands and influencers, including LGTBQ+ influencers, are the norm as businesses seek to retain and grow their base of consumer support. But right-wing outrage erupted following a post Mulvaney made in April in which she showed a novelty Bud Light can with her face printed on it. The can was not created for general sales of the brew, but the partnership prompted anti-trans conservatives to take to social media with heated rhetoric and, in some cases, violent videos.

"Since the April fiasco, Anheuser-Busch scrambled to cling on to its reputation as an all-American company without distancing itself from the LGBTQ groups it has long supported," the Mail detailed.

But Mulvaney suggested she had been abandoned by the brand, telling her followers that Bud Light had not been supportive as she was subjected to a tsunami of hatred. Some gay bars stopped serving Anheiser-Busch products.

Bud Light lost $27 billion, the Mail noted, and resorted to layoffs in the wake of the pinch. But the heated attacks on the brand may be cooling somewhat. Kid Rock, a conservative musician who posted a video in which he machine gunned cases of Bud Light, was recently spotted drinking from one of the brand's signature blue cans.

Mulvaney herself made light, concluding her acceptance speech by telling the room that she was "gonna go have a beer" – though she did not specify the brand.
