The brand plays up s heterosexual si other ways, as well, like teamg up wh Playboy for Super Bowl people not faiar wh the gay scene, may therefore e as a surprise that Bud Light is a major sponsor of several Gay Pri ftivals takg place across the U.

That dience segmentatn is reflected advertisg as recently, "for the most part you would see rporatns producg gay-specific ads and placg gay-specific media, " says David Paisley, senr rearch director of Communy Marketg Inrporated, a gay and lbian market rearch Wells Fargo has been volved pri paras for 20 years, s advertisg appealg to the gay muny featur predomately publitns that are themselv targeted to that muny, as well as tra publitns.

So that is certaly somethg that we know and we're hearg om nsumers ourselv, " he the travel and alhol dtri were among the first to target the gay muny, some dtri are draggg their feet, says Darren Cooper, senr nsultant at Out Now Consultg, an LGBT marketg firm.

What was origally known as the “gay liberatn” movement was born out of a wi-rangg cultural ferment on the left the 1960s and early 1970s that also gave rise to the women’s liberatn, anti-war and Black power movements, a cross-pollatn among activists groups scribed Cornell Universy’s archive on the history of gay activism.

While some skeptics will always be cynil about the motiv of pri-themed products and marketg mpaigns, the rabow packagg on store shelv is a stunng advance om a time when many pani were worried that havg a sgle openly gay employee would lose them ctomers and st them money. I spect that every sgle one of the pani supports the feral “Equaly Act” (a top HRC prry), which would add homosexualy and transgenrism as creria for Ameri’s Civil Rights law–thereby elevatg “rights” based on sexual-and-genr perversn (and immoraly) to noble civil rights stat the law.
