Ford’s ‘Very Gay’ Trucks are making a comeback amidst the Bud Light-Dylan Mulvaney controversy.

The Ford Raptor: A Very Gay Truck

Did you know that Ford has a truck they call their “Very Gay Raptor”? It’s not a middle school joke, it’s an actual vehicle offered by The Ford Motor Company. Two years ago, they created a special edition of their Raptor pick-up truck complete with a rainbow paint job. Yet, nobody even noticed it until recently, which sort of makes the whole thing a lot more funny.

The Backstory

According to a Ford Europe press release, the “Very Gay Raptor” was created in 2021 in response to a negative comment on social media. Ford rendered its most badass nameplate in sparkling gold adorned with rainbow graphics. The positive response online was so overwhelming that the manufacturer decided to make it real and has been using it as a tool to help drive out discrimination ever since.

Per the company, it was created as part of an effort “to redefine what ‘tough’ actually means.” One might argue responding to internet trolls in the first place isn’t very tough, but that’s neither here nor there.

The Outdated Pride Flag

Now, the real kicker in all this is that the pride flag shown in the Ford Europe video is actually outdated as far as 2SLGBTQIA+ standards go. That’s the actual acronym for the rainbow alphabet movement now.

Why is it outdated? Well, if you take a few minutes out of your day, you’ll notice that the flag at the very beginning of the video does not contain a purple circle. What does that non-existent purple circle stand for? It represents “intersex.”

Somewhere along the line, an intersex individual or an “ally” felt that individuals born with an extremely rare condition where they have a combination of both male and female parts weren’t represented on the flag.

So, the flag has now been updated to include intersex as seen here, shared by the United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken just this past week.

The Slippery Slope

Companies, such as Ford, are dumb to think that if they show support for this movement their sales will increase. In turn, they push the entire world more woke and down the slippery slope — even if unwittingly.

Now, companies such as Bud Light are finding out that conservatives are starting to wake up and vote with their dollars. That’s why BudLight’s parent company AB-InBev has attempted to distance itself from Mulvaney and is rolling out camo-themed cans, perhaps in an attempt to appease consumers.

It won’t work, and now Ford could quite possibly become Bud Light 2.0.

• Individuals who supported gay marriage less than 10 years ago, but don’t support radical gender ideology are labeled bigots.
• If you’re a Christian, Jew, or Muslim who is against same-sex “marriage,” then you’re considered a super bigot — even if you explain you love everybody, you just believe in the institution of marriage as defined by practically all of the West until 2015.
• Somewhere along the way, black and brown stripes were added — even though skin color has nothing to do with sexual orientation.
