But fish strong, as the nflict over Richie’s bathhoe project grows and Mx has to nsir whether ’s too risky for the magaze to speak to gay men, or even gay moments like this, the historil fictn feels not entirely historil. 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.

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.

LGBTQ+ SUPPORT, SUPPORT GROUPS, GAY SUPPORT ORGANIZATNS

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.

LGBTQ+ support groups and gay support anizatns are cril, pecially for people who, ially, fd difficult to e out as gay and n benef om the support of others.

GAY SUPPORT: WHERE TO FD LGBT HELP AND SUPPORT GROUPS

Gay support groups and anizatns work to support people of mory sexualy such as gay, lbian, queer, transgenr, and bisexual. Some gay support anizatns are specifilly dited to supportg dividuals while others foc on rights issu and gay polics as well. Some people feel very alone when they e to the realizatn that they are gay, but the fact is, they are not alone.

In addn to puttg a person touch wh others like them, gay support groups also make people feel fortable knowg that when they share rmatn about themselv, they are tellg others who have lived the same experience. In gay support groups, no one is judged for their sexualy and is only supported.

For example, they are available any lotn, at any time of day and they n be the first step for those not prepared to talk face-to-face wh other gay dividuals yet. One place onle gay support groups n be found is through Thoands of people are members of the onle support groups which ver everythg om g out to parentg to beg transgenr.

GAY DISCRIMATN AND STIGMA AND HOW TO COPE

If others peek behd the curta of the whe-picket-fence-homosexualy they have built up for public nsumptn, support for the movement would wher and probably die. The active gay man and the prisoner are our brothers and we have to be ncerned wh both. But look we mt, particularly sce we are beg asked to nsir that homosexualy is on par wh heterosexualy, that same-sex marriage and oppose-sex marriage n be the same, that gay sex n fact be spoal.

The arguments ma by our bt fenrs of man-woman marriage foc almost exclively on the fn of marriage and the rights of children to have both a mother and a father, and they explicly say their arguments have nothg to do wh the unrlyg qutn of homosexualy.

Lee wanted love, gay love to be sure, but love that fell le wh Christian sexual ethics, that is to say a lifelong emotnal and sexual bond.

He read the fluential 1976 book The Church and the Homosexual wrten by a Catholic prit that explaed how the Church wrongly terpreted all those referenc the Bible nmng homosexualy. ” Father McNeill later wrote an tobgraphy which he explaed he lived a wily promiscuo gay life far removed om any notn of Christian sexual ethics, gay or otherwise. “Dozens of well-meang people assured me that there was a whole, different world of homosexual men out there, a world that for some reason I uld never fd, a world of God-fearg, straight-actg, monogamy-believg, and fily-practicg homosexuals.

He joed a Yahoo group loosely affiliated wh Digny, the “Catholic” anizatn that affirms gays their active homosexual way of life. ” He received “dozens of rpons, some of them que hostile and meang, and all but one—me—tellg him to go out and get laid bee that was what beg gay was all about. ” He said he wanted to meet other homosexuals like him for “iendship and romance.
