Brian Sims (via Twitter)Brian Sims, the first openly gay elected state legislator in Pennsylvania history, artfully trolled conservatives this weekend who’ve publicly ranted on Bud Light.
Sims’s hilariously subdued tweet was in response to the outrage conservatives have heaped towards Bud Light for their social media collaboration with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
The collaboration roiled some conservatives, with the hashtag #BoycottBudLight trending on Twitter as many complained that Anheuser-Busch, the parent company of Bud Light.
Mulvaney, who has found internet celebrity on TikTok for her Day 365 Of Girlhood video series, was sent a personalized can of Bud Light with her face on it to commemorate a year since she began her gender transition.
But critics now say that Bud Light is now no longer a product for “real men,” some going as far as saying the beer will “turn” people gay.

Which brings us to Brian Sims’s tweet, which read:
“I remember my pre-Bud Light days so well. The axe body spray, all that Smash Mouth, mandles, my favorite cargos, the work sweatshirts, and all that ESPN. Bro, it was dope.” That was followed by the hashtags #GayNow and #ThanksBudLight.

The Twitterverse was not only amused but jumped in as well.
I remember my straight days well. Then one Saturday afternoon a friend said, let’s go to drag time story hour. I didn’t know better. They served all us kids budlight and it was bam, instantly gay.

I did wrestling, baseball, volleyball, tennis, golf, softball, and Civil Air Patrol drill squad when I was younger. Then I had one sip of Bud Light at the age of 14 and BOOM! 100% homosexual!!#GayNow #ThanksBudLight

Growing up, I was completely normal.
Until one day, in junior high, I tried a sip of bud light.
I didn’t like the taste, but from that moment, I changed. I was more interested in the tight pants of the players than the scores of the games. #GaynowAlso, Thanks, Obama.

Bought some #BudLight last week from my LGBTQ welcoming @TheBeerStoreON here in Canada. Instant gay. I was gay before, of course, just extra gay now. Lol. pic.twitter.com/XhJQNwlY9Z
