    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.

      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.

    Schmooze booze.

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

      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.

    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.

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

          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.

    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.

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

    Honestly I’m just glad to hear people recognizing that Anheuser-Busch isn’t a trans icon or even queer friendly.

      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.

      It mostly seems like a novelty, who is the target customers?

      I guess:

      • Given as a joke gift
      • Gay people drink it jokingly?
      • Right wingers buy it as proof that the world is woke

      It could be fun if this ends up being a big brand name.
