Pay attention to Ford’s truck business. On line one, there is a critical message from Bud Light. An important message from Bud Light is on line one, I repeat. Thanks for being so prompt.
Ford officials recognized their opportunity to stop being known as the “Bud Light of Trucks” and acted by showing the “Very Gay Raptor” at a key motorsports event a year ago. Yes, it is the real name of it.
Have you doubted the veracity of the online-circulating video that features Oli London, a former transgender personality?
Yes, it is the answer.
Rob Kearney, the first openly homosexual contestant in the World’s Strongest Man competition, is featured in London’s advertising. Kearney recounts his story of meeting an ally at the event in the advertisement, encouraging inclusiveness and acceptance. Don’t pass up this potent call to unity.
Additionally, the “Very Gay Raptor” has recently been the subject of commercial videos. Priced at $56,000+, this twin-turbo performance vehicle has been upgraded with a colorful rainbow flag motif.
The “Very Gay Raptor” is mentioned in the sentence as if it were a new invention, yet Ford actually unveiled this item in 2021 and displayed it at a significant automotive exhibition in England.
“Ford will continue demonstrating its allyship with the LGBTQ+ community at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this week, bringing ‘Very Gay Raptor’ and the Next-Gen Ranger Raptor along for the ride,” Ford said in a news release last June, declaring that the truck would “redefine ‘tough.’”
A gathering of thousands of auto enthusiasts is held annually at the Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, England. Visitors can see some of the most recognized production and competitive cars ever made in this location.

“Created in 2021, ‘Very Gay Raptor’ was born in response to a negative comment on social media, with Ford rendering its most bada** nameplate in sparkling gold adorned with rainbow graphics,” the news release said.
“The positive response online was so overwhelming the manufacturer decided to make it real, and has been using it as a tool to help drive out discrimination ever since.”
In the review of Ford’s competition cars and production models displayed at Goodwood the previous year, the “Very Gay Raptor” clip is a significant highlight.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed from last summer might not have piqued the curiosity of those indifferent in the occasion or the LGBTQ+ cause. It was not the intention to upset anyone by flying both the general rainbow flag and the transgender-specific banner.
I have to admit that even though I usually watch the event, I was unable to do so this time. This was probably deliberate and merits acknowledgment.
The Dylan Mulvaney/Bud Light advertisement campaign completely altered the marketing approach of numerous top companies.
In the past, most people were able to ignore advertisements that attempted to appear socially conscious while promoting conventionally non-woke things. However, given the current situation, the latest “Very Gay Raptor” advertisement is under examination since it could be risky for a business that is already having problems. It might not be in the company’s best advantage to focus on a used Nissan Leaf instead of selling the Ford Ranger Raptor to a primarily conservative male market.
Two years B.M. saw the beginning of the “Very Gay Raptor” campaign. It will be interesting to observe how Ford promotes and responds to it in the ensuing months (Before Mulvaney).
There’s no doubt that Bud Light’s emergency message was heard clearly. It may be simple to switch beers, but it’s much simpler to move to a more expensive vehicle.
Their alleged “allyship” will probably adopt a more reserved stance in the future as Ford’s emphasis shifts away from science and conventional values.
