'PASSAG' DIRECTOR NOUNC 'DANGERO' NC-17 RATG ON A FILM PICTG A GAY LOVE STORY
Author(s): Wut, Bryan | Advisor(s): McHugh, Kathleen A | Abstract: This dissertatn exam the history and operatns of niche LGBT media distributn pani the past three s. Sce the rise of gay and lbian film ftivals the 1970s, several distributn pani specifilly voted to LGBT media have ma over a thoand tl available theaters, on home vio, or via digal streamg. By focg on five pani (Ariztil Entertament, Here Media, Strand Releasg, TLA Entertament, and Wolfe Vio), my rearch breaks new ground as a large-sle analysis of a sector of media largely unexplored by queer media studi. The texts produced by LGBT distributors are often perceived as nventnal and untertg formally and polilly. However, my project tak the “bad objects” serly, regnizg their enomic, cultural, and historil signifince for a mory group and their larger impact on mastream unrstandgs of LGBT inty and polics. Partly an dtrial history, this project prriz textual and reprentatnal analysis of the niche media self, attendg stead to the dtrial and discursive circumstanc surroundg the media and treatg distributn as a llectn of meang-makg practic revealg sights impossible through textual analysis alone. Each chapter monstrat how LGBT texts circulate and activate differently different ntexts, focg on the ntgency of a text’s tegorizatn as LGBT, the signifitn of bs practic wh liberal LGBT polics, and the plexy of evaluatg LGBT media based on differg expectatns about what LGBT media should do and what LGBT viewers need. This project provis an untold history of a mory group’s cultural productn, and dog so rais larger qutns about LGBT media’s ntemporary and future relatnship to tegorizatn, inty, polics, enomics, value, and affect. * gay video distributor *

In a sea of nned cktails, Gay Water wants to stand out.

“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. 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.

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.
