Bar loses customers after warning patrons it will 'not tolerate intolerance' among guests about Bud Light

The Fairfax Bar and Grill in Indiana alienated some of its patrons after it condemned them for criticizing Bud Light's association with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Bud Light and its parent company Anheuser-Busch received backlash for partnering with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney. The beer maker ignited a firestorm earlier this month when it celebrated Mulvaney's "365 Days of Girlhood" by sending Mulvaney custom-made cans featuring the influencer's face. Millions of Americans have responded by boycotting brands associated with Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch. As of Monday, Bud Light’s market share for the latest week lost almost the same amount as rivals like Miller Lite and Coors Light gained, according to a report from Beer Business Daily.

However, one venue in Bloomington, Indiana, has made headlines with a contradictory message calling for "open conversations" about the subject, yet demanding those who disagree to "leave" their establishment.

"We are tired of all of the hate. We are very open to debate and discussion and it’s truly a shame that we can’t have open conversations about this important political and cultural topic. Bars, in our opinion, exist as public spaces where ideas should be exchanged," The Fairfax Bar and Grill wrote in a Facebook 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."

The post was shared alongside an image of a similar statement saying the establishment welcomes "ALL people," but warns that those who are "intolerant" should be silent about their beliefs.

“...”We are tired of all of the hate. We are very open to debate and discussion and it’s truly a shame that we can’t have open conversations about this important political and cultural topic....”

The meaningless words of a clueless leftist. Shun that bar and avoid the rancid ooze coming out of its doors. As for Bud - well, eff them.

"...but not your ideas if they disagree with ours. Now shut up." they continued...

Someone is free to live their life however they want as long as they are not hurting others, however if you decide to dress up like a woman and pretend to be one, and you want to engage me on the topic of whether I believe you are one.. don’t get pissy when I flat out tell you are not now, never were, and never will be a woman.

If you want to engage me in debate about this, don’t call me a bigot or hateful when I disagree with you.

You can’t have an “open dialogue” if you then say those who disagree are not welcome.

Go woke, go broke.

Don’t ignore your customers opinions. They are simply poor businessmen and do not deserve to being business.

“Wokeism” is a dangerous tool, double-edged and extremely keen. Those who wield it should be aware that the double edge continues all the way up into the hilt, and is very likely to slice apart the hand gripping it, as if they thought it were a sword.

There is no safe way to seize and use this weapon, which wreaks as much havoc on the aggressor as it does on the target.

The bar apparently hates women, and has gone all in on belittling women with the bar's support of mulvaney's menstrual minstrel show.

“Bar l... will ‘not tolerate intolerance’”

that sounds quite intolerant to me ... they should kick themselves out of their own bar ...

I’ve been to many bars in my day. I can only imagine the obnoxious drunk idiot guys in their 20s yelling and carrying on at the sight of a bud light and harassing anyone they see with a bud light in their hand. So let’s all give the bar some grace when it comes to not wanting that in their place of business.

They looked at that national marketing debacle and thought: "Hey, we need to get in on some of that action!"

Hilarious.
