     That just screams Bud Light, doesn't it?
    

   I think I'll never understand how anyone could watch that and

argue that

   effeminate homosexuality is a *choice*.

  
   Making that the face of your brand, however, *is* a choice.
  
   KNIGHT TEMPLAR: They chose... poorly.

 
 I didn't follow the Bud Light gay saga, but a youTube video suggests
 that the company did no more than express "welcome" to the LGBTQ
 beer-drinking community.  If that's a fair characterization, then their
 subsequent sales-drop seems surprisingly homophobic.

 
 Or maybe, instead of branding everyone who doesn't like that lifestyle as
 irrationally afraid of it, you could just recognize that people found it
 distasteful and voted with their wallets.
 
 Contrary to what all the "phobe"-labelers want you to believe, it is
possible
 to merely dislike a thing without being irrationally afraid of that thing.
For
 example, I don't much like broccoli but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of it.
 I'm not broccoli-phobic.

 
I think you'll find that most all definitions of 'phobic' and
'homophobic' denote not only 'fear of' but also 'aversion to'.

I think you'll find that they also include 'irrational' in those definitions.
