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.

“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.

“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.

Prented to the Court the ntext of this se is the qutn of the legal right of homosexuals to form a stunt anizatn and obta Universy regnn of as a mp anizatn. History and Facts of the CaseFebary 25, 1971, marks the begng of an attempt on the part of a small group llg self Gay Lib to ga formal regnn as a stunt anizatn at the Universy of Missouri at Columbia, Missouri.

On that date, Gay Lib submted three documents to the Missouri Stunts Associatn (hereafter referred to as the MSA): (1) a petn for regnn on the forms provid for that purpose by the MSA, (2) a proposed nstutn and by-laws, and (3) a statement of the purpos of the proposed *1354 anizatn. [1] Gay Lib's applitn for regnn was given ial nsiratn by the Rul Commtee of the MSA Senate, which approved and remend that the MSA Senate also grant approval. On November 22, 1971, durg the perd that s petn was before SOGA but not yet unr active nsiratn, Gay Lib submted a revised statement of purpos[2] which add tail to the ial brief statement.

*1355 Subsequent cisns at higher levels the Universy not to regnize Gay Lib were based largely on Dean Hutchs' veto and s reasong. Lansford: "On December 22, 1971, the Universy Commtee on Stunt Organizatns, Government and Activi, meetg regular ssn, passed and submted to me a motn llg for the approval of Gay Lib as a regnized stunt anizatn. The very sence of the group their stated purpose is to study the legal and social posn of the state vis-a-vis the issue of homosexualy, an issue nsired to be of val ncern to a small proportn of our stunt body and of ncern generally terms of social attus and social rponse.

First, the specific history relative to the problems of homosexualy that is unique to this Universy reprents a pot of parture for any specific discsn.

The "chairone" of this Commtee was Lawrence Egglton, who had also been one of the prime movers behd the Gay Lib applitn for regnn. On December 6, 1972, Edward Thelen, who had replaced Edw Hutchs as Dean of Stunt Affairs, sent a memo to Dave Markee, Director of Stunt Life, exprsg his belief that the Commtee on Sexual Freedom was a "subterfuge for acplishg the regnn (of Gay Lib) vetoed by Dean Hutchs" and directg Markee to refe to act on requts om the Commtee on Sexual Freedom.

GAY LIB

There was before the Board at this time an appeal on the same issue om the Gay People's Unn at the Universy of Missouri-Kansas Cy. The 290 page transcript of the Augt 13, 1973, hearg reveals that both the Universy and Gay Lib adduced a wi range of evince on three ma issu: (1) the procral steps taken by Gay Lib to ga regnn at the Universy of Missouri at Columbia, (2) whether homosexualy is normal or abnormal and (3) whether Universy regnn of a homosexual anizatn would produce creased vlatns of the Missouri Sodomy Law. There was both lay and expert ttimony on such subjects as the history of the Gay Lib movement, whether i were standard homosexual practice, the alleged homosexual propensi of a mass murrer Hoton then much the news, and the trimental effects on children of "mothers who are overly protective or hostile and rejectg or clgg.

However, fdgs 14-25 alt wh the qutns of what homosexualy is, the relatnship of homosexual practic to the Missouri Sodomy Statute and the potential impact of Universy regnn of Gay Lib. Coil nclud that "formal regnn by the Universy of Gay Lib will "(1) give a formal stat to and tend to rerce the personal inti of the homosexual members of those anizatns and will perpetuate and expand an abnormal way of life, unls ntrary to their tentn as stated their wrten purpos, the homosexual members make a ncerted effort to seek treatment, regnize homosexualy as abnormal and attempt to cease their homosexual practic; "(2) tend to e latent or potential homosexuals who bee members to bee overt homosexuals; "(3) tend to expand homosexual behavr which will e creased vlatns of sectn 563. E., the sick and abnormal unselg others who are siarly ill and abnormal; and "(5) nstute an implied approval by the Universy of the abnormal homosexual life-style as a normal way of life and would be so unrstood by many stunts and other members of the public, even though, and spe the fact that, the Universy's regulatns for stunt anizatns provi that regnn of an anizatn by the Universy do not nstute approval or endorsement of the anizatn's aims or activi.

FORT GAY PUBLIC LIBRARY

The gay lib movement as exemplified by the Gay Lib Organizatn at UMC and the Gay People's Unn at UMKC is premised upon homosexualy beg normal behavr, ntrary to the further fdgs here. A homosexual is one who seeks to satisfy his or her sexual sir by practicg some or all of the followg: fellat, cunnilg, masturbatn, anal eroticism and perhaps other ways.

Persons who e to adolcence or young adulthood unaware that they have homosexual tennci, but who have fears of sexual relatns wh a member of the oppose sex. What happens to a latent or potential homosexual om the standpot of his environment n e him to bee or not to bee a homosexual. The dividual platiffs, all members of the Executive Board of Gay Lib, sue on their own behalv and on behalf of Gay Lib and all members thereof, as a class unr Rule 23.

Sendly, although as a non-stunt Egglton may not be a "member" of Gay Lib, he may, as a member of the Universy staff "participate the activi of stunt anizatns to the extent that he ems proper and s members sire. Defendants also move to add as platiffs all members of Gay Lib, apparently ntendg that the members are few number, and so n be named dividually to avoid the necsy for a class actn.
