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

COMMENTARY: THE REAL LSON OF ‘BROS’: IT’S OK TO LET GAY ART BOMB

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 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.

“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.

QUEER KO: 1970S AND ‘80S GAY GERMAN ARTHOE CEMA

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. BenedictnOn June 3rd of 2022, two films featurg lic nstctns of muni of gay men were released on the very same day. One you've surely heard of (Fire Island, which I'll get to later) — and the other was Benedictn, a film that barely seemed to register spe beg helmed by one of our great queer filmmakers, Terence (who directed Rachel Weisz and Cynthia Nixon to arguably their greatt performanc The Deep Blue Sea and A Quiet Passn, rpectively) utiliz a bpic of Brish poet and rated WWI bat veteran Siegied Sassoon (played by Jack Lown his youth and Peter Capaldi olr age) to offer a wdow to the dramatic liv of aristocratic gay men the 1920s.

This is where I firmly stand, generally: was an extremely funny, often very sightful movie that served better than was & QueerCome at , Bros: Billy Eichner opens up about his big gay Hollywood rom (that's very, very good)I saw twice 24 hours, and was thoroughly entertaed and ocsnally very moved both tim. Fire IslandWhat more uld you possibly ask for than a loose, queer adaptatn of Pri and Prejudice that's set at the hedonistic gay vatn statn of s tle and featur an all-LGBTQ st pl plenty of sex, dgs and Marisa Tomei-imprsns?
