In a sea of nned cktails, Gay Water wants to stand out. 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.
SOME TIPS FOR ALL THOSE STILL PLAG ABOUT GAY SCEN SOAPS LIKE EASTENRS AND EMMERDALE
* gay person eastenders *
“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, however, is out and proud.
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.
WHO WAS THE GAY MAN EASTENRS?
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.
JAGUARS ASSOCIATE STRENGTH ACH OUT AS GAY A FIRST FOR US-BASED PRO LEAGU
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. Whether 's daytime TV, soaps, chat shows, realy TV, news bullets or sports punds, Brish TV has allowed the rise of talent om all walks of society but some people seem to thk there are too many gay people on their screens - here's why they are wrong.
It's no surprise that people are overwhelmed by queer reprentatn on televisn after s of gay people beg crimalised then persecuted unls they kept their sexualy hidn behd closed doors. Let's not fet the outrage at EastEnrs airg the soap's first ever gay kiss the 90s. Throughout the history of televisn, gay people have been prent the foundatn of much of the entertament and programm we watch today.
HOW MICHAEL CASHMAN CHANGED THE WORLD: OM EASTENRS' FIRST GAY KISS TO STONEWALL
Those doors have been all but blown off their hg and seeg proud LGBT+ stars every rner of the programmg schle of the big TV works is one big step 'normalisg' the existence of gay, lbian, bisexual and transgenr people and showsg their talent as well as openg up important nversatns. Throughout the history of televisn, gay people have been prent the foundatn of much of the entertament and programm we watch today - for example, the first Director General of the BBC, John Reh, who began his role 1922 is believed to have had sexual relatns wh men. Graham Norton has been an out and proud gay man on our screens and rad for years and is showg no signs of stoppg.
CORK ACTOR AIDAN O’CALLAGHAN JOS EASTENRS ROLE OF GAY BAR MANAGER
Wh the rise populary of shows which centre around the liv of queer people such as It's A S, Sex Edutn, Heartstopper and Feel Good there are plenty of reason to celebrate the wav that have been ma followg years of trailblazg stars breakg through and openly intifyg as gay.
As Drag Race stars Tayce and Assta Manla ma very clear on season two of the UK anchise, there are very few black LGBT+ ins the history of our stage and screen as both stars chose Naomi Campbell as their 'gay in' nway theme.
Assta said on the show: "Here's the thg, i really stggled to fd a person of lour and someone who is a gay in. Growg up there was no one that I uld look to that was gay and Black and an in the UK.
