I like the idea. As a straight guy who drinks vodka and soda/tonic I get told my drink is gay from time to time. Now nobody will feel the need to inform me since it’s printed right on the can.
They’ll still point it out to you.
My husband gets told there are pronouns on his badge all the time, as if he didn’t know they were there.
This comment made me laugh out aloud at home.
I’ve witnessed so many straight guys that either appear gay or hang out with gays encounter very little friction meeting, talking to and dating women. The girls around them tend to drop their guard right away and chat and joke around quite easily.
It’s like a speedpass. Once they realize they’re straight the swiftness of moving onto the next steps is about as fast as the average gay. It could also be that in those environments there is very little competition so there’s that bias to consider.
You are probably onto something.
The official beverage of getting drunk and trying stuff
Well everyone, time to go fetch a frog and test something
How is the mascot not a gay frog?

Yeah, I kind of hate that somehow refusing to buy shitty dishwater beer is now a conservative political statement.
The"statement"is a dumb as they are
I’d rather drink goat piss than bud right.

Most things are better than Bud Light.
Schmooze booze.
I’m fine with marketing to gay people, but this feels like pandering.
All marketing is pandering. This company just saw a huge niche that hadn’t yet been filled and jumped in. You’re not wrong that it’s somewhat exploitative, but all products are to some extent.
At first I read it as “Gray Water” and thought it was a terrible idea.

Your ales taste great but I can’t get used to the low carbonation.

Of the stuff I had on draft in the UK, Fuller’s was by far my favorite; what we get with that name in the US is presumably a forgery.
But I also share the Yank problem of not liking the hand-pump level of fermentation. I’ve tried it a bunch, just not for me.
I don’t drink much lager, usually either Belgians or IPAs :)
Pro tip: always have at least two on hand. That way you drink one to turn gay and then you can drink another to become gay gay. It then cancels out to straight again.
I thought the antidote to gay drinks would be flavorless torture protein shit like Soylent or whatever

A mildlyinteresting community but you can post with links? I love Lemmy
Honestly I’m just glad to hear people recognizing that Anheuser-Busch isn’t a trans icon or even queer friendly.

Bi people like me, on the other hand, need constant validation. Where’s my bi water???
Dr Pepper.
Red bull
If bi = 2, then maybe bi water is just 2 waters. Although some might worry that bi people will become too powerful with all that hydration.
It’s rainbow capitalism, sure, but if someone is going to make money selling rainbow cans with alcohol in them, at least this is outside of pride month and owned by an actual gay person. It’s more genuine than rainbow cans of bud light, at least.
And the more successful Gay Water is, the more this can be an easy response to that dumbass “go woke go broke” shit.
It mostly seems like a novelty, who is the target customers?
I guess:
- Given as a joke gift
- Gay people drink it jokingly?
- Right wingers buy it as proof that the world is woke
It could be fun if this ends up being a big brand name.
