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.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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.
The official beverage of getting drunk and trying stuff
Well everyone, time to go fetch a frog and test something
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.
Grift water
At first I read it as "Gray Water" and thought it was a terrible idea.
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.
I’d try some Gay Water out of curiosity (if it’s zero sugar), but last weekend when I had a Truly, I had an imploding headache five hours later that was so bad I wanted to die. I think I’ll pass on this and all hard seltzers, because I’m a super lightweight. Heh.
Probably it's just bottom shelf booze using the Bud Light controversy for sales
I read through the article to see if any money was going to gay/trans right activism. If it is the article doesn't mention it, and it isn't on their (admittedly not yet filled out) website. Recognition is good in that "acceptance" in capitalism means you think you'll make more money than non-recognition. But that's the symptom of things going the right direction, not the cause. If it's the best seltzer in your opinion go for it, but unless they're giving back to the community they're not actually doing anything.
