* budweiser gay ad *
Claim: Some Bud Light prt advertisg rried gay publitns featured same-sex upl holdg hands. Dear Sats, We received a post om a nservative Christian news anizatn ncerng a new ad beg aired by Anhser Bch showg two men portrayg a homosexual uple drkg beer.
ANHEUSER BUSCH UPDATE: Sce my munique yterday, the Anhser Bch Company has now stuted a toll-ee number for people to ll if they disapprove of a new Bud Light mercial featurg two homosexual men.
I jt lled the number before wrg this special update and took me 5 sends to listen to a rerdg that told me I had jt registered a vote agast Anhser Bch about homosexual imag g to our hom through reckls advertisg mpaigns. It is important that we all take actn sce the gay-rights muny is actively llg the pro-gay ad number. Origs: Y, 's te — Anhser-Bch was nng prt ads aimed at securg the gay muny's beer money.
IS THIS BUDWEISER AD GAY?
But before you allow yourself to be drawn to the "pro-gay/anti-gay" bate, nsir this: those ads were limed to gay publitns only. Don't expect to see them pop up even middle-of-the-road magaz that happen to draw some of their rearship om the gay muny; the ads aren't meant for that market. Falwell's and his followers' ncern about "homosexual imag g to our hom through reckls advertisg mpaigns" is misplaced; unls he and his people have taken to readg gay magaz and newspapers, they'll never.
That same-sex pairgs are ed ads appearg gay publitns shouldn't surprise anyone. Anhser-Bch isn't the only large rporatn g same-sex pairgs s gay publitns advertisg. An Anhser-Bch spokman said, "It's surprisg to that one prt ad placed select gay-oriented magaz has attracted attentn.
What to drk if you want to eher support or boytt gay-iendly brewers is a matter open for bate. Of the big three, Coors is the only one to offer domtic partnership benefs to s gay employe, but the Coors fay also supports anizatns that have a history of anti-gay cisns. Miller and Anhser-Bch have non-discrimatn polici and support the gay muny some ways, but neher offer benefs for unmarried upl.
