Currently there is a big issue regarding Bud Light that have led a large segment of Americans to stop drinking it because of politics and fear. It’s absurd at best and misguided & incorrect at worst.
Let me preface this by saying I don’t agree with transgenderism. If you’re a gay man, you should simply be a gay man and not try to look like a woman or have surgery to effect that. If you’re trying to attract a man, that means your market is gay men, and they like men, not women, and straight males will not want you as it’s usually quite clear that you used to be a man as the surgery & transformation typically isn’t that good, although I admit I’ve seen some transgendered men-to-women that were pretty convincing as women, but presumably only until they open their mouth, or their legs.
Bud LIght gave a commemorative can to a guy who is living his life as a transgendered woman. The can had his picture on it. 1 can. There was no pronouncement or announcement of this by Bud Light, just a comporation trying to make an extra buck by finding a new market in which to sell their product. They did not endorse transgenderism nor come out against it — they’re just trying to sell beer to more people.
Thousands of companies target ads & products to the LGBT community. Are we to boycott them as well? And why are we boycotting them? What’s wrong with selling goods & services to the LGBT community? They’re buying what they need from tens of thousands of companies daily.
Whay don’t we boycott Dollar General & Walmart? Have you seen the trash that shops there? Granted, I shop at Walmart, but I’m not their core market. Does this mean that Walmart & Dollar General support trailer-trash, welfare mamas & other losers simply because they market to & sell goods to them? Of course, not. They’re just out to make a buck off that core group of Americans.
What does it even mean to support or not support the LGBT community? What does it matter to you if someone is LGBT? It’s not a learned trait, you know. You’re born LGBT whether you recognize it early on or not. It’s not a birth defect; it’s no different than being born with red hair or green eyes or being left-handed, all of which are in the minority in our society. It means nothing in and of itself unless you use religion to make a big deal of it to oppose it, but what are you opposing? You can’t turn someone gay anymore than you can turn someone straight. LGBT people are no more deviant in behavior that the straight population. Being different isn’t deviant.
Buy a Bud Light, or a Miller Lite, or shop at Target, or do whatever is you did prior to all this anti-LGBT boycott crap. You’ll be boycotting thousands of companies in the long run, including your favorite grocery store, and your own goverment, which pays out Social Security & Medicare/Medicaid benefits to tens of thousands of LGBT members, and your local government services which protect them just as they do you.
