Have You Noticed A Lot More Americans Look Like A Frightful Hot Mess?
In my town, it looks like public slovenliness and disarray have become more of a norm than a subculture in the last three years.
Bud Light has faced a wave of negative public sentiment in the wake of its ill-advised move to enlist transgender figure Dylan Mulvaney to promote the beverage, but years ago, the beer brand actually had ads that jokingly featured cross-dressing men.
In one ad, cross dressing men pretend to be women so they can compete in a women's pool competition where the first place prize is Bud Light beer.

In another ad, men show up at a bar dressed as women and speak in high pitched voices, apparently in a bid to score Bud Lights on ladies night while there's a special on the drink.

And in another ad, famous comedian Don Rickles offers to buy a someone a Bud Light, only to have that person turn around and reveal himself to be a cross-dressing man with a mustasche.
Amid the public backlash related to Dylan Mulvaney, Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth issued a statement last week in which he said that the company "never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people." But when Bud Light posted a tweet last week, that tweet was majorly ratioed as people pounced on the woke company.
Nike has absurdly had Mulvaney, a biological male, advertise a bra and leggings.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a measure on Thursday that would help protect female sports from biological men who identify as women, but zero House Democrats voted in favor of passage. The measure would need to clear the Senate in order to reach President Joe Biden, and the president intends to veto it if it arrives at his desk.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will be making another appearance on a show that is about cross dressing.
Pelosi will appear on a new season of "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" — she previously appeared on the program several years ago as well.
"Can I get an amen?" Pelosi can be seen saying in a clip advertising the show's upcoming season.

In 2018, the Hollywood Reporter posed the question to Pelosi: "What could politicians learn from drag queens?"
"Authenticity," Pelosi answered. "Taking pride in who you are. Knowing your power — that’s what I talk about on my brief segment on the show. This idea of people believing in themselves, being themselves, taking pride in themselves, is not just a lesson for politicians but for everyone in the country. And that’s why I was so excited and couldn’t resist being on the show."
During that interview, the outlet also asked the lawmaker whether she had ever considered what her drag name would be, but Pelosi said that she had not.
The California Democrat has served in Congress for more than three decades and holds the distinction of being the first and only woman ever to serve as the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
U.S. Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney recently tweeted support for Drag Queen Story Hour, a program that involves cross dressers reading books to children.
"Across the country, books are being banned, which are depriving our nation’s youth. But thanks to @NYPL and programs like Draq Queen story hour, NYC’s next generation are getting a well rounded education about LGBTQ+ issues and gender identity," Maloney tweeted.
Critics pounced on the congresswoman's post, but she remained unfazed, declaring that "the bigots are at it again in the comments."
Looks like the bigots are at it again in the comments.\n\nYour hate didn\u2019t stop me when I introduced the first domestic partnership legislation in NYS history when I was on the @NYCCouncil, and it won\u2019t stop me now.https://twitter.com/RepMaloney/status/1513618619233718277\u00a0\u2026— Carolyn B.
