      Gay guys boofing Bud light in leather gear: I sleep

      A trans lady that is excessively happy all the time gets a single bud light can with her face on it: real shit

        It really does highlight how fucking evil these fucks are that a Trans person being happy was enough to launch a nationwide boycott.

      Longer than that. Bud has been a gay beer since Coors had a polygraph test for employees that, among other things, asked if employees were gay.

      That's the strangest part of the whole Bud thing and why they fired people over it. Every gay bar, queer event that I've been to has Bud Light everything. They've been sponsoring us for decades and every frothingfash thinks this is something new or somehow over the line. They do the same with cishet places as well. Just ridiculous over it.

      Bet that can is a priceless artifact now though.

        Why do they call it "Bud light" anyway, does it have reduced alcohol or something? Is there a "Bud strong" advertized to like, the Army reserve? Please explain these Americana details to me fellow light-bear

          "Light" in American beer parlance means it's lower in calories and alcohol content. They came about initially because there were a lot of reactions to changing diets for Americans. Lots of stuff happened at once, like a very powerful dairy lobby, increase in high fructose corn syrup, big pushes to gain weight basically. A lot of Americans actually took notice and started developing modern diet culture, and part of that was cutting out beer. Companies responded by offering beers lower in calories. They stuck around because they're less bitter.

          Yea there's a regular budweiser comes in a red can. Bud light is so much more popular most people refer to the twp as bud and bud heavy. Light beer has slightly lower alcohol percentage and slightly less calories because the goal of them is that you can drink 20 of them at a barbecue even if you don't like beer.
