I’d love me some Gay Homo Water, hopefully, it comes to Canada.

I’d try some Gay Water out of curiosity (if it’s zero sugar), but last weekend when I had a Truly, I had an imploding headache five hours later that was so bad I wanted to die. I think I’ll pass on this and all hard seltzers, because I’m a super lightweight. Heh.

Probably it’s just bottom shelf booze using the Bud Light controversy for sales

I read through the article to see if any money was going to gay/trans right activism. If it is the article doesn’t mention it, and it isn’t on their (not yet filled out) website. Recognition is good in that “acceptance” in capitalism means you think you’ll make more money than non-recognition. But that’s the symptom of things going the right direction, not the cause. If it’s the best seltzer in your opinion go for it, but unless they’re giving back to the community they’re not actually doing anything.

I don’t have this problem with black spice rum. :3

NuPNuA ,

Fair play to them, as a real ale drinking Brit, I wouldn’t touch this or bud light with a bargepole, but if it a corp outwardly supporting LGBT rights then I hope it does well.

Your ales taste great but I can’t get used to the low carbonation.

NuPNuA ,

The low carbonation is what I love about them, I do like some lagers but drinking them all day is too much gas, lol.

I don’t drink much lager, usually either Belgians or IPAs :)

eestileib ,

Of the stuff I had on draft in the UK, Fuller’s was by far my favorite; what we get with that name in the US is presumably a forgery.

But I also share the Yank problem of not liking the hand-pump level of fermentation. I’ve tried it a bunch, just not for me.

Schmooze booze.

I’m fine with marketing to gay people, but this feels like pandering.

CeruleanRuin ,
@CeruleanRuin@lemmy.world avatar

All marketing is pandering. This company just saw a huge niche that hadn’t yet been filled and jumped in. You’re not wrong that it’s somewhat exploitative, but all products are to some extent.

Pro tip: always have at least two on hand. That way you drink one to turn gay and then you can drink another to become gay gay. It then cancels out to straight again.

Ertebolle ,

I thought the antidote to gay drinks would be flavorless torture protein shit like Soylent or whatever

NuPNuA ,

I’m sure gay people hate terrible tasting protein rich liquids…

Grift water

At first I read it as “Gray Water” and thought it was a terrible idea.

Gay people (like me) do not need this stupidity. We’re perfectly capable of feeling “valid” with ought this stupid nonsense.

@problematicPanther@lemmy.world avatar

Bi people like me, on the other hand, need constant validation. Where’s my bi water???

sebinspace ,

Dr Pepper.

If bi = 2, then maybe bi water is just 2 waters. Although some might worry that bi people will become too powerful with all that hydration.

Stoneykins ,

It’s rainbow capitalism, sure, but if someone is going to make money selling rainbow cans with alcohol in them, at least this is outside of pride month and owned by an actual gay person. It’s more genuine than rainbow cans of bud light, at least.

And the more successful Gay Water is, the more this can be an easy response to that dumbass “go woke go broke” shit.

fische_stix ,

I like the idea. As a straight guy who drinks vodka and soda/tonic I get told my drink is gay from time to time. Now nobody will feel the need to inform me since it’s printed right on the can.

sirboozebum ,

This comment made me laugh out aloud at home.

EssentialCoffee ,

They’ll still point it out to you.

My husband gets told there are pronouns on his badge all the time, as if he didn’t know they were there.

How will this affect the toad population?

Lol, gross

There's no such thing as transphobia. Nobody's irrationally and disproportionately afraid of trannies. If anything, we have the opposite problem.

Fear often leads to violence. I assume you’ve heard of the fight or flight response? Some people avoid, others confront. Both are based on fear.

sab ,

There are all these Christian fundamentalists who have been told all their lives they'll go to hell if they're not one hundred percent completely straight all the time, and God sees them and knows what they're thinking. Assuming there's a biological element to homosexuality, a large portion of these people are not completely straight from nature's side. Assuming people are often excited by taboos, they might secretly be more bi-curious (or whatever the word is) than the average population.

For these people, every single step towards gay and trans rights is making it a little bit harder to live in complete denial. They cannot simply ignore it, because they're obsessed with it. One improper thought and they'll burn in hell.

Of course this crowd is terrified of trans people.

darkevilmac ,

Phobia is not just a fear but an aversion to something.

Ertebolle ,

"Irrationally and disproportionately" doing a LOT of work there.

If you don't care to actively support trans people, "polite indifference" is the only other appropriate response, as they're not hurting anybody by simply existing - mind your own business and let them mind theirs.

RedSeries , (edited )

You’re full of enough hot takes to melt steel. Phobia means extreme aversion or fear. Your assertion that something does not exist does not mean it does not exist.

TopRamenBinLaden , (edited )

As bad as this take is, I actually do think transphobic is too light of a term for these assholes. Transphobic can imply to some people that its not their fault for being disgusting in some way. We don’t call racist nazis ‘racephobic’, ‘blackphobic’, or ‘jewphobic’. We need a harsher term to label them is what I’m getting at. I will just refer to them as bigots for now.

oatscoop ,

Well shit, I’m going to demand a refund for the waterproofing spray I just bought!

It says “hydrophobic” but by god I used it and my tent still ain’t afraid of no water!!!1111

You probably think that "sunrise" means the sun is literally moving upward too, don't you?

Also you:

You’re a special one aren’t you?

@agent_flounder@lemmy.one avatar

You know what there is? Hatred. And people that reject other people for who they are need to get out more and realize we are all just people.

Daisyifyoudo ,

Did you crawl out from under that rock just to comment before going right back??
