I've seen some memes and TikTok clips that boycotters are embracing Coors Light now.

But Coors Light is a big sponsor LGBTQ+ pride week, and in general, advertise heavily to this market:

It's smart business. LGBTQ+ has a ton of spending money (in general) and a ton of influence, as well.

Why a business would want to cut out a whole demographic due to bigotry, well that's just really bad business.

It shouldn't be for religious reasons (we aren't a theocracy), but it should be an important issue to competitive athletes and to people who have an under 18 daughter in public school who has gym class. Perhaps there aren't enough young people who are athletic. The percentage who aren't eligible for the military re weight........

Coca Cola and Budweiser are not going broke, don’t like their messaging then switch brands. Comanpies fail because of poor management, the woke excuses are tiresome and the term woke is tiresome.

I think the “anti-woke” crowd overestimates their actual numbers vs. those who are indifferent to these issues and those who are advocates/allies. They honestly seem to think they are in the majority.

I agree with you on the sports thing. But it seems to trigger the Right when any company even uses a transgender person in an ad. Look at the thread here about Bud Light. That is not an athlete they used, so why all the hate and declarations of "I'll never buy their beer again!" being poured onto them? Kid Rock made a video of himself shooting Bud Light cans. Are you holding all trans people responsible for the athletes that want to play girls sports, or the politicians who want to let them? They're not all of one mind, in fact Caitlyn Jenner is very against trans in athletics.



It seems the Right is blaming every trans person for everything related to being trans that they don't agree with. There are a lot of trans people who just want to live their lives under the radar and in peace. They aren't all activists, nor do they all wear feathers and garish makeup and glttery clothes and dance and sing.

My co-worker buddy will no longer drink bud light and said their parents poured out their beer onto their lawn. First of all, you already bought the beer so what good does that do? Second of all, you still drink busch light which has the same parent company. When I argued with him over this he just got mad and walked off. When it comes to people skills, it really doesn't pay to confront people on their ignorance. It just mades them mad. I know this, but it's a tough habit to break.



I prefer blunt honesty. If I lose a friend, so be it. I'm not going to tell you want you want to hear so you can wallow in your ignorance.
