An Indiana bar is begging for civility after vowing to kick paying customers out for trashing Bud Light for its promoting transgenderism with a social media ad sponsored by Dylan Mulvaney, a former gay man who now dresses as a woman.
This month, Bud Light partnered with Mulvaney — a transgender activist who has risen to corporate leftist stardom with his viral TikTok videos chronicling his day-to-day “transition” to a woman.
In response, Anheuser-Busch has faced intense backlash despite efforts to seemingly walk back the pro-transgender campaign.
One such bar, Fairfax Bar & Grill in Bloomington, Indiana, immediately got behind Bud Light and Mulvaney following backlash. Bar owners went as far as to state that they would kick paying customers out of their business if they trashed Bud Light and Mulvaney.
“Bars, in our opinion, exist as public spaces where ideas should be exchanged,” bar owners wrote on Facebook before deleting the post. “Unfortunately due to all of the bigotry and hatred that has surfaced around the Bud Light controversy any patron wanting to voice their concerns about the issue will be immediately asked to pay their bill and leave our establishment.”
Now, after facing a backlash of their own, owners of Fairfax Bar & Grill are calling for civility and said there are other beer options than Anheuser-Busch products at their bar.
“A lot has been said — some correct, and some incorrect — and I want to clarify my stance,” the bar wrote on its Facebook page. “What I really want to convey is this: Just be respectful. Different opinions are welcome here as long as they are delivered respectfully.”

I want your attention about as much as I wanna take Dilbert Mulvaney to the prom. Are you a tranny?
Playing hard to get isn’t easy on FR.
They are backpedaling with the speed of a cheetah and begging people to forget what they stated.
Correct. Continue.
That and their obvious faggotry.
Sometimes, when you’re running a business, chit happens and you suffer a loss. In your “hypothetical” scenario, it would be best to absorb your loss and stop selling the Bud Lite. The mood of a large part of the current customer has turned against the product. Support it at your own peril.
Do I really have to put it in quotes?
Your reading comprehension is woefully inadequate for the age.
Wal-Mart works that way. Many small retailers do not.
Alcoholic beverage laws tend to be quirky. In Texas, unless they go out of business, and return everything, an alcoholic beverage retailer cannot return product to the distributor. I don’t know about Ohio, with its State run liquor distribution.
Indiana, not Ohio.
Yep!
That was fun.
I know how costumers get upset when we completely sell out of Coors Light Silver Bullet and we have tons of Bud Light left over and they don't want that!! True Story.
The big boys started it but it had filtered down to even SPs.
My shop is tiny and we do SBT for new product.
You do have a point about alcohol laws but in every state I know of in the Midwest (and yes we did do business in Indiana) SBT was allowed.
(Not very good memes, mind you, but at least he knows how!)
“I want your attention about as much as I wanna take Dilbert Mulvaney to the prom. Are you a tranny?”
LOLOL
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
Hope the place goes under, due to their own stupidity.
Texas has traditionally been very restrictive with alcohol sales. Religious opposition to drinking + big business alcohol manufacturers and distributors support for restrictive rules that give them quasi monopolies by raising significant barriers to entry by new, would be, competitors.
Well, that's just the problem, because according to multiple accounts different opinions aren't welcomed at all; they dismiss them as bigotry. Here the bullies are accusing others of bullying.
They're hurting because it was a stupid fight to pick. Bud Light, the same.
Show me up, kid. Make a nice meme explaining the virtues of Butt Lite and your tranny activism.
(this should be good, considering the left can't meme)
You know, bags, my wife has a saying foe that, “He Who Stirs The Shit Up Will Be Forced To Lick The Spoon”.
