You've got to read/skim this article and then watch the video. Most likely a terrible person but his commitment to the bit is off the charts.

I get where he's coming from. He's got a "biblical faith" to preserve as the proprietor of Grills Seafood Deck and Tikki Bar. Apart from eating the shellfish on his menu, which the Bible has a prohibition against, how can his drunk patrons looking around at last call for someone to have out-of-wedlock sex with know if they are sinning with a man or a woman when Anheuser-Busch is using a nasty nasty trans person to advertise their alcohol?

It's enough to make a God-fearing alcohol salesman experience "hell on Earth."

Two marketing execs put on leave by InBev:
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/25/busi ... vaney.html
The maker of Bud Light, Anheuser-Busch, said on Tuesday that two of its executives were taking a leave of absence after the beer was featured in a social media promotion by a transgender influencer.

Bud Light’s sales have slumped amid calls for a boycott because of the advertisement and criticism of the company’s response to the backlash, which included targeted harassment of one of the executives who is on leave.

Alissa Heinerscheid, the vice president of marketing for Bud Light, and Daniel Blake, who oversees marketing for Anheuser-Busch’s mainstream brands, were on leave, the company said in a statement.

I think I liked it better when the outrage machine of the week centered around things like Hilary's emails, or Obama's tan suit, or whether the M+Ms were too sexy or not sexy enough, or whatever outrageous thing a pop star said, and not an extremely marginalized minority population group for existing.

I hope this isn’t disgraceful to say, but for me it’s not just that they’re extremely marginalized (and I’m not trying to minimize that, or discredit the voices calling for visibility and rights), but also that they’re such an extreme minority. You might think there was a trans siege around every Christian church in the country.

It’s sort of like when the experts at Fox News were telling me that ANTIFA had declared Sharia law in Portland but somehow I could still go to the park and the store and the doctor and listen to country music (if I developed an appetite for [expletive]) and pray to Jesus and go to lock down protests (if I developed an appetite for [expletive]).
