“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. 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.

This is a socialist journal eded by gay men. We have a two fold aim producg this magaze. First, we hope to ntribute towards a marxist analysis of homosexual opprsn. Sendly, we want to enurage the gay movement an unrstandg of the lks between the stggle agast sexual opprsn and the stggle for socialism. 1975-1980 * gay left *
There was a feelg that this was a time to stand up and be unted, and for many of who had e of age the cultural revolutn of the 1960s and the early 1970s, and had seen our view of the world transformed by the explosive emergence of gay polics, that meant posng ourselv firmly wh the left. Five years later, as the edorial llective announced GL 10 a pse publitn to enable a thk about what we wanted to do next – 10 issu and an eded book (Homosexualy: Power and Polics published 1980) proved an exhstg if exhilaratg journey together – the climate had changed dramatilly, and fact we soon dissolved as a group.
But what now strik me on re-readg the 10 volum for the first time a long time, is how well we ptured the dreams and reali, hop and tratns of gay and lbian liv durg the 1970s, and the extent to which you n see the pag the shape of the dramatic polil and cultural chang that cisively end the long 1960s, and brought about a new polil era. What unified and brought together Gay Left was a double ncern: to enter a dialogue wh the gay movement about socialism; and to nont the socialist and labour movements wh the ias of gay liberatn.

Our polil mments provid the spe for Gay Left s five years of existence, but as a group of gay men we were also firmly loted the velopg gay muny and culture, wh all their burgeong ncerns. ‘Gays and Fascism’ GL 5 did refer to racism, and Errol Francis GL 10 specifilly raised the issue, but there was no -pth discsn of race, ethnicy and sexualy, which was of urse to bee a major theme the 1980s, after GL left the scene.
Dpe this, what is not explicly addrsed the journal is what has now bee a domatg theme: the diversy of the lbian and gay world, and though the issue of rights was a key if implic ncern, we did not anticipate the rise of the disurse of human rights as ccial to ternatnal LGBT polics.
