I’ve been reading in the news about this Bud Light rumpus over trans gender that apparently is disquieting an assortment of their core customers.
As I sit on the sidelines, I wonder why Christians would pick one side or the other on this. Stick up for the drunkards or perverts?
And what might make free market conservatives choose one side or another?
And as I see this happening, I think that the LGBTQ will win this and other fights like it sooner than later. Every time. Because I don’t see the right wing as a movement (individuals, sure), actually have much principles that they are grounded in. The right seems to just be confusedly fighting against change. But they really don’t seem grounded in truth and God. So they have very little compelling foundational principles that they can articulate as to why these things ought not happen. They want the right to get drunk, but want to forbid the right to get high. They want the right to fornicate heterosexually, but want to draw the line where it is convenient for them. And they want the right for their women to have unnatural and unnecessary cosmetic surgery, but want to draw the line where it offends their sensibilities.
And I completely agree that drawing these lines is better than nothing, and I wholeheartedly wish them every success. But it seems a little arbitrary to me. Particularly when I believe that it is nothing more than a temporary pause in this country’s slide away from good.
A boycott? When have those worked?
