With this Bud Light thing, so many people are talking about the sexuality aspect of it, but the way I see it is this is just what happens when you try to cater to a small fraction of the population, while disregarding the rest of the population, aka the majority.
Although the number has about doubled in the last few years, the number of US adults who identify as part of the LGBTQ+- etc. community is around 7%, according to a 2022 Gallup poll. For a country where the majority has traditionally determined policy, this kind of thing just won't fly. It can't fly. It's just the numbers, and you can't fuck with the numbers. Speaking of numbers, it must really suck to lose $5-billion in sales. Oops.
Sorry Anheuser-Busch, but when you try to be all hip and "woke" and shit, and cater to a fraction of the market at the expense of the rest, this is what happens. Just what did y'all think would happen? The people have spoken.
