LoL. You can't win with these shitheads. They act like they have overwhelming numbers. They don't. Not even close. They just apparently exist on social media. I've never actually met a trans person and I only know of one who has.
And the one gay person I know didn't really like trans people. They described them as excessively fake and annoyingly insecure. Eggshells
but already cracked. I can see that.
Anyway, only a complete lunatic would want to cater to that crowd and follow in the footsteps of bud.

"Per the Morning Consult survey, which was conducted about two weeks
after the backlash began, a majority (53%) of beer drinkers in the
United States say they would feel favorable toward a brand that works
with a transgender spokesperson, compared with 47% of U.S. adults
overall who said the same. Beer consumers were also more favorable
toward this type of marketing partnership than were beauty,
entertainment, pharmaceutical and auto consumers.
The survey also offered a demographic profile of Americans who said they drink beer at least once a month, which constitutes just over one-third
of all U.S. adults. Monthly beer drinkers lean more Democratic and
younger than those who said they do not drink beer at all, suggesting
that the Bud Light controversy may not materially impact its brand long-term."

Here's reality
During the week ended April 22 — the most recent industry data
available — Bud Light sales plunged 21%, accelerating from a 17%
slide a week earlier and an initial weekly drop of 6% when the
controversy kicked off during the first week of April, according to
Nielsen IQ and Bump Williams Consulting.
Meanwhile, beer volumes — the number of cases sold, whether in packs
of 12, 18 or 24 cans — dropped an even steeper 26% last week, versus
a 21% drop a week earlier and an initial drop of 11%, according to
the data.

be called beer.
Modelo's the rage that cracks me up. It doesn't look like, but it
sure as hell tastes like Miller. I did a taste test with my $20/12
pack popping kids friends. They all failed. And they still felt
like they wanted to spend twice the money even after they knew they
couldn't tell 'em apart without looking. Miller is much lighter and
clearer.
Now Modelo Negra is ok and regular isn't bad, but I'm not a paying a
