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.”

Ewww?
It is absolutely the most liberal place in the state. Purdue is working hard to be right there with IU. Purdue is very friendly to the transgender community
I love that movie :-)
Or claims to be.
I trust we see this business close in the coming months. Destroy these woke businesses, folks. They do not deserve our money or support.
“As the owner, how would you handle this?As the owner, how would you handle this?”
Stop selling Bud Light, for one.
For the non-regulars, do them a courtesy and direct them to the other bar sells Bud Light:
I haven't met one bar owner who hasn't had the juke box distributor remove songs. Not one.
As for someone getting assaulted for ordering a certain drink, try ordering a "black and tan" in an Irish pub. You'd be forgiven if they knew you were a clueless tourist but other than that, you better know the rules.
The left are such hypocrites. They act un civil and then whine about not being treated with civility.
It was the owners who reached outside the bar via Facebook to act like assholes in support of Bud Light and are now suffering loss of sales for it.
The only review I could find for it prior to the current fiasco was someone commenting a few years ago that it was a country bar, not a college bar.
There are still VFW halls where you absolutely wouldn't think of asking for a German beer.
(You could probably ask for a Japanese one but would only get blank stares).
Good to know. I happen to like “black and tan.”
>>Here the bullies are accusing others of bullying.
The neologism “crybullies” applies here.
It’s not very smart to kick your best customers out.
But only the ideas we approve of will be allowed.
“Bars, in our opinion, exist as public spaces where ideas should be exchanged,”
Wrong, right out of the gate.
That is certainly not why bars “exist”.
How did you know I was the owner? <\s>
Indiana Bar whines because civility is in action.
The bar just posted it’s No Go sign in the window.
be begging for customers before it’s all over...
