Instead, buyers will state clearly that they want a Gay Beer.
GAY MEN AND ALHOL: THE RELATNSHIP WH THE BOTTLE
Ken Howard, LCSW, a psychotherapist who specializ therapy wh gay men, wr about gay men and alhol, and overg problems wh drkg. * gay guys drinking *
Gay Beer was created by Jon Moore and Jason Pazmo, bs partners and boyiends, 2017. The pair were spired while drkg at Juli’, a historic gay bar New York Cy that was the se of early “sip-” protts, where gay men would drk at bars that refed to serve homosexuals. Together, they were tryg to figure out why there wasn’t already a beer posned more for queer people, which led Moore and Pazmo to realize that gay beer was a project they uld take on themselv themselv.
But of urse, had to be gay.
Consumptn of Gay Beer, they cid, would be herently tied to supportg the queer muny. They began llg Gay Beer while velopg the product and jt stuck.

Moore and Pazmo note that “gay” also means “happy, ” a nnotatn hasn’t really held s, but still gets ed as a cheeky way to eli the haters. (Big Gay Ice Cream has ed the same tactic.
“A lot of bars are not wantg to say they’re lbian bars, they’re wantg to say they’re queer bars — but a lot of gay male bars keep sayg they’re gay male bars, ” she says. From a sign standpot, Gay Beer, Dyke Beer, and Queer Brewg all wanted to reference the cultur they grew om.
For Moore and Pazmo, that meant an “Amerina whout the Amerin flag” sign, somethg that reflected the athetics of Juli’ Bar, and the gay men of the ’60s who participated the “sip ” protts. Gay Beer, Dyke Beer, and Queer Brewg are n by queer people and support queer people year-round. Buyg Gay Beer at the grocery store signals to everyone who se you that you’re the kd of person who buys Gay Beer.
