In other words, where Bud Light has buckled unr prsure as bigotry grows agast the LGBTQ+ muny, Gay Water’s creator Spencer Hodson wants his new boozy brand to be the anthis of that. “The key issue that Bud Light tapped to was the fact that they didn’t unrstand their re dience and know enough about them,” Hodson, a gay man, told CNN about the ntroversy that began when the Anhser-Bch beer brand sent fluencer Dylan Mulvaney a n of beer. The nned cktail is named after a lloquialism given to the popular mixed drk (vodka and soda) orred at bars by the gay muny.
“Puttg a product wh the word gay the tle is reprentatn self,” which he hop reclaims the word om the negativy ’s sometim associated wh. He thought of creatg Gay Water about a year ago while on a vatn wh his iend that had got a job wh the beverage dtry. The two chatted about the limed amount of gay people wh , and wh Hodson burnt out om his tradnal day job tech, started the nned cktail.
"THAT'S SO GAY" IS JT SO WRONG
* something gay *
Hodson built up a strong social media followg on TikTok and Instagram durg Covid-19 and is g some of the money om that (as well as om iends and fay) to help fund Gay Water. “Gay is an umbrella term and the ia behd the brand is to be as clive as possible, which means we want alli, we want straight people to be part of this muny we’re buildg.”. For now, Gay Water is sold largely onle (wh a few retailers) and four sugar-ee flavors — watermelon, lime, peach and grapeu — at lnch.
Gay Water might not have the ep pockets pared to s petors, like Whe Claw, but “even at small sle, pani of many siz are havg succs makg spir-based seltzers and premixed cktails,” Bryan Roth, an analyst for Feel Goods Company and edor of the alhol beverage newsletter, Sightl+, told CNN. “There’s lots of space the spir-based seltzer tegory which Gay Water n play, pecially if the brand n offer a cultural or emotnal nnectn that will feel more excg than the prospect of another peapple-flavored vodka seltzer om natnal or ternatnal rporatns,” Roth said. Of urse, other drks e the word “gay,” too, cludg Gay Beer and So Gay Rosé, Hodson noted, which are also tryg to reach the queer muny and offer them an alternative the straight-domated space.

Comg to cemas Augt 4th.Rottg the SunThere's absolutely one thg Barbie and Oppenheimer fail at when pared to Sebastián Silva's rto meta-edy Rottg In The Sun: onscreen penis and graphic gay sex. One such piece — and a highly-predictable one, at that — is veteran forward Rudy Gay, who was recently waived by the Oklahoma Cy Thunr, after beg ed as filler two different offseason tras: first when the Utah Jazz shipped him to the Atlanta Hawks the John Colls al, and then when the Hawks sent him to the Thunr the Patty Mills tra.
Dpe beg a 17-year veteran — he was drafted one year after Chris Pl, and one pick ahead of Patrick O’Bryant — Gay has never shared an NBA locker room wh any Warrrs. Not only have they played (and ached) agast him for years, but Gay was teammat wh Steph Curry and Klay Thompson on the Team USA squad that won gold at the 2014 FIBA World Cup, and also teammat wh Curry (and Andre Iguodala) on the gold medal-wng 2010 team.

Perhaps most importantly, Gay spent four seasons — four recent seasons, crilly — playg for the San Anton Spurs and Steve Kerr’s mentor, Gregg Popovich. If the Warrrs are terted Gay, you n bet that Kerr and Pop have talked about , and about how he handled the swch om high-volume starter/srer to veteran bench piece. That is, theory, the biggt benef of Gay: beg a tsty and smart vet that n fill the Iguodala role.
It’s easy to make the se for Gay, sce the Warrrs rotatn seems pretty set as is, wh an 11-player rotatn of Curry, Pl, Thompson, Wiggs, Green, Kumga, Moody, Kevon Looney, Gary Payton II, Dar Šarić, and Cory Joseph. Here’s a staggerg stat: Gay is 68th NBA history regular season gam played, wh 1, 120.
There’s also a cent chance that Gay go unsigned, and that the Dubs uld brg him to trag mp on a non-guaranteed al to get a better look at him. _banana #sircharl #charlbarkley #barkley #MentalHealth #transmentalhealth #celebrygolftournament #nbc #harveys #artytheparty #laketahoe #trans #gay #phoenixsuns #fyp #viral #transgenr #charlbarkleysays #iloveyou #ally #nohaters #protecttransyouth #lgbtqia #support #bekd #transgenrsupport #Pri #transgenrawarens #psychpa #n #ntroversy #budlight #Igbt #Igbtq #tnt #cbs #golf #fundraiser #harrahslaketahoe #amerincenturychampnship #redneck #nceled @Dylan Mulvaney ♬ origal sound – l. _banana ?️? #sircharl #charlbarkley #barkley #MentalHealth #transmentalhealth #celebrygolftournament #nbc #harveys #artytheparty #laketahoe #trans #gay #phoenixsuns #fyp #viral #transgenr #charlbarkleysays #iloveyou #ally #nohaters #protecttransyouth #lgbtqia #support #bekd #transgenrsupport #Pri #transgenrawarens #psychpa #n #ntroversy #budlight #lgbt #lgbtq #rayallen #jerryrice #tnt #cbs #golf #fundraiser #harrahslaketahoe #amerincenturychampnship @Dylan Mulvaney ♬ Hate Me Now (feat.

“It’s a book I wish I would have had when I was terrified, when I was believg that I was the only gay person the world for a long time. Spend any time around teens, and you’re likely to hear the mon exprsn, “That’s so gay" — even among gay kids. If you ask them about , as some rearchers have, they often will sist that is not tend as homophobic language, jt a harmls phrase to exprs tratn or somethg siar.
When most people hear the term LGBT (lbian, gay, bisexual or transsexual), for stance, they equate to havg adult sex. Another client’s mother once ught him lookg at gay porn, and said, horrified, “You’re not gay, are you?
” Later when the parents learned their children were gay, they apologized to them for sayg the thgs, but the damage was already done. Hearg kids sayg, “that’s so gay” every day mak the people and everythg else around them qutnable: Are thgs safe or dangero? What, then, n be done about makg kids (and the rt of ) more aware of the harm g such phras as “That’s so gay?

But parents who are enough aware of language’s substrata n help by helpg their kids’ schools unrstand the value of practicg the same kd of zero tolerance for homophobic language that they do for racist or anti-Semic or bullyg language. The bt thg I have seen is the mpaign “ThkB4YouSpeak” by GLSEN (Gay, Lbian School Edutor Network).
SOME GAY SH
Anti-LGBT remarks such as “that’s so gay” are often untentnal and a mon part of teens’ vernacular. Frh off shock-llar torture on The Idol, Troye Sivan has jt released his new song “Rh, ” a tle meant to voke both the feelg of poppers and dancg wh someone hot, along wh an acpanyg mic vio burstg wh gay smut.
So we cid to get one gay who remembers the release of Kylie Mogue’s “Lootn” and another gay who is too young to remember the release of “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” to bate whether this track is actually a Bop or Flop. Y, has a Village People qualy to , but I also thk ’s tertg to see what happens when you streamle the mp of our gay tracks of yore and rce them down to one sgular emotn (horny).

It’s a return to body fascism and emaciatn — two gay tast that actually never went out of style.
It feels like part of the reason Troye miss out on the spotlight is bee he’s gay and unwillg to create the kd of watered-down mp that his queer peers are g to ga attentn (hi, Sam Smh). If he’s never gog to be an arena artist, he might as well make thgs gayer, sexier, and weirr than they would.
It don’t matter if ’s a first grar who might not know what the word “gay” means, a sixth grar tryg to sound ol, or a tenth grar “teasg” a iend. “You may not have meant to be hurtful, but when you e the word ‘gay’ to mean somethg is bad or stupid, is hurtful. “Even if you didn’t mean to offend people who are gay, is offensive to ll this assignment gay (or queer); if you don’t like somethg, then say you don’t like !
