As a gay boy myself, I'd love to see the reprentatn but I don't know about the larger fanbase.

MARVEL REVEALS FIRST GAY SPIR-MAN FOR UPG SERI

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

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.

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. New Gay Spir Man is good, actually. Marvel recently released the sign of an upg addn to the Spir-Man Multiverse by the name of Web-Weaver: the new gay spir man.

MARVEL TO TRODUCE FIRST GAY SPIR-MAN UPG ‘EDGE OF SPIR-VERSE’

I was not surprised, however, that people have immediately rejected the sign sayg ’s stereotypilly feme for a gay man, and that he shouldn’t be a fashn signer, and that he should jt be normal. We all n probably thk of a time when a piece of media we’ve liked troduced a gay character and ’s so over the top on his femy that his character is all about beg gay. So we adopt this notn that gay people media should be normal, shouldn’t follow harmful stereotyp that pat all gay men as overly feme, high-pched, and annoyg.

Now, we have “normal” gay characters that would appear to be pletely straight unls you’re told about their sexualy. The characters normalize beg gay/bisexual and that’s really good!

In realy, not all gay people are mascule and “normal” lookg. Web-Weaver is created by lgbt signers and based off of real world gay fashn signers, and I thk that’s wonrful.

MARVEL COMICS TO INTRODUCE NEW “GAY SPIR-MAN” VARIANT IN UPG SPIR-VERSE SERI

I want a gay male character like me, even if appears to look like a stereotype. TLDR; I’m tired of straight appearg gay men.

“Somethg I realized immediately when nceivg Web-Weaver is that he n’t–and shouldn’t–reprent ALL gay men. Somethg I realized immediately when nceivg Web-Weaver is that he n’t–and shouldn’t–reprent ALL gay men.

In addn to the gay Spir-Man variant named Van Dyne aka Web Weaver, there will also be a Kraven the Hunter variant named “Hunter-Spir, ” a Tyrannoss Rex variant, and many other crazy terpretatns.

For Spir-Man, Marvel termed that he mt be male and “not a homosexual, ” wh the tertg addn that the latter would be validated if “Marvel has portrayed that character as a homosexual.

SPIR-MAN CAN'T BE GAY OR BLACK

Even the rtrictn that’s gaed the most attentn — “not a homosexual” — has the get-out clse that ’s okay if Marvel has done the ics first. A gay Spir-Man isn’t a problem, as long as Marvel gets to do the ics (and, as a rult, reaps the publicy rewards attached) first.
