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.”.

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. I spent much of this week readg and tryg to absorb the new and vastatg book by one Frédéric Martel on the gayns of the hierarchy at the top of the Catholic Church, In the Closet of the Vatin: Power, Homosexualy, Hypocrisy.

Many of the Vatin gays — pecially the most homophobic — treat their vows of celibacy wh an souciant ntempt.

Martel didn’t expect this remarkable ndor, or, clearly, what he was about to see: “Whether they are ‘practisg’, ‘homophile’, ‘iat’, ‘unstraights’, ‘wordly’, ‘versatile’, ‘qutng’, or simply ‘ the closet’, the world I am disverg, wh s 50 shas of gay, is beyond prehensn. Among the named sourc: Franc Lepore, a brilliant young gay Lat translator and prit.

He soared through the ranks, directly servg Pop Benedict XVI and Francis, until, as a gay man, he found a way to qu his post bee he uldn’t abi the double life he was forced to lead, or the rancid hypocrisy of the whole system. I have scpuloly checked all of those stori, makg ntact myself wh those rdals, archbishops, monsignori, nuncs, assistants, ordary prits or nfsors at St Peter’s, all basilly homosexual.

I’m no naïf when to the gayns of the church. I’ve lived as a gay man for all my adult life, and my ey are open.

As a secular gay journalist, not hostile to the church, he walked to the Vatin and was simply staggered by s obv gayns. No gay neighborhood has existed like this the Wt sce the 1980s.
