Whitworth doesn't come right out and say it, but I can't read this any other way than that he & the company are capitulating to the right wing haters.  Some companies can take the heat.  Beer doesn't do so well in heat.

This whole thing was stupid anyway.  As usual it was a big fight about nothing.

For my part, I don't see why people drink Bud Lite to start with.  I'd just as soon have water.  I guess drinking Bud Lite will turn you gay or something.  Funny, it never did in the past.

 

And then, there was that idiot that poured out all his Jack Daniels too.  I'm surprised they don't get rid of their body parts because gay people have them.

 

Our society is falling apart, but it isn't because of trans people.  These people are doing it to themselves.

As the saying goes, Bud Light is like having sex in a canoe - F'n close to water.  🙂

 

I agree @Ivy- our society is breaking down and it has nothing to do with gender identity.

I'm no longer a drinker but i'm sorry to see any business apologize for acceptance.

Actually, and I'm afraid my cynicism is really showing here, I think the apology is stemming from the huge sales drop ($24-30 billion depending on which figures are correct) and th4e drop in stock prices Anheuser-Busch has suff eredsince the ad first appeared. Once again, a company is merely paying lip service toward LGBTQ+ causes and once they lose money, they bail out.

Kinda feel like the 'they've lost billions!' is propaganda. 


Their stock over the past year has been as low as 44.90 and as high as 66.73. If you bought at the high point and sold it yesterday, yeah you lost money, about 2 bucks a share. If you bought at the low point and sold on Friday closing price of 64.56 you made money, yeah, almost 20 bucks a share. And as much as certain media outlets are pumping this angle, the stock price could be affected by other things in the world rather than the right wing outrage du jour.

I think lake water next to the canoe would probably taste better.  I'm not much of a drinker, but my husband and GF used to be...I've heard them say that Bud what what you drank by the pitcher-full to keep the buzz going after you were already so drunk that you'd drink from the toilet if it had alcohol in it.  🤮

Not what you want if you enjoy the taste of a good beer.  But yeah, it will keep the bladder going.

At least it shows that someone thinks Trans people have enough money to spend on alcohol to try to get them to drink it.  Statistics show that 33% of the Trans population has had addiction problems including alcohol over the years.  Just saying.

This came up in a meeting last night.  Some in sobriety had fleeting thoughts of buying cans of beer.  They were not tempted to drink it? but said it was only to get souvenirs.  Fortunately sober living showed the foolishness of that temptation.  As a community we have too many addicts.

@Charlize I downloaded a picture of the can yesterday, that is safe enough for a community scrapbook for me.  I live about 2.5 miles from one of their breweries BTW.  It stinks as I go by it on the freeway. LOL.

Now they're mad about this one.

Actually, women were historically brewers.

If Budweiser does walk back on this, it's a lot of -crap- to walk back on.

I kinda disagree with part of the premise of the ad.  Even though I'm AFAB, I rather enjoy women in bikinis 🤭 We could probably update beer ads to show women enjoying beer and enjoying other women 😁 

 

I have a solution for the beer war. Everybody can send all their unwanted and politically incorrect beer to my address.  I'm sure my GF can find a way to sell whatever she doesn't want to drink.

I like beer as a general thing, but any "lite" beer is near the bottom of the list for me.

I suspect it isn't hard to switch brands considering taste.  It's bazaar that they took it all so seriously - personal like.  

I think most of these companies gay-wash/rainbow-wash, especially for Pride month.  I mean, queer people drink too.  It's probably not easy to find a brand whose parent company doesn't.

It would all be hilarious if it wasn't for the hatred behind it.

I didn't expect to be embraced by the rightwing when I came out, but the level this has risen to is astounding.

It's not easy being cishet these days.  You have to be so careful.  If you drink Bud Lite it turns you queer.  If you drink Miller Lite it'll make you into a feminist.

The only safe thing is to get on the wagon.  But that's probably "woke" as well.

Even Moonshine is out if Granny Clampett made it.

Yes, they're saying that the marketing is the most important reason they drink the beer they drink. Weird.

      WOW @Ashley0616 it’s good that you have skills to treat traumatic injuries, as well as the ability to remain calm while managing others needs to get yourself and the boys ready to go to the hospital. Proud mama bear skills. I’m glad that he’s doing well.    Meanwhile back at the ranch, we slept in and I’m just now finishing my 3rd cup of coffee.    Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well yesterday was not fun. I was getting ready to make dinner and I hear screaming and crying. I look over and my son put his foot through glass. He gashed near his Achilles tendon. Thankfully that is intact. I didn't freeze for a second. All of my military training came into play. I doctored him up and got Jett ready and myself and we headed to the ER. He is doing ok today. He says he is in pain but doesn't need Tylenol. He is a tough cookie!

      Hi,   It's seems today is my trans birthday.  I'm beyond excited. Just picked up my testogel from the pharmacy. Although I naturally have doubts as I'm sure do we all, they are rapidly disappearing. Yesterday I was so nervous I kept claiming I'm not trans, despite grinning like a fool knowing I can pick up my prescription the next day. I'm shaking and on the verge of happy tears. I will put on my first sachet this eve. Thanks so much to this forum and kind words from people. This is the first forum I found when I began seriously questioning.

      Project 2025

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired

      Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me.  I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them.  If they stand up under scrutiny, great.  If not perhaps we need to look at something else.   Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself.  That kind of writing bores me quickly.  But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism.  There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  But I am no Tankie.   The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare.   The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians.  But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be.  I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult.
