"Grills owner in Brevard, Orlando pulls Bud Light: 'God is telling me to take a stand'" [View all]
There's so much wrong with what the owner says.
After more than a week of prayer, Joe Penovich made what he said was a difficult decision. On Friday, the owner of Grills Seafood Deck & Tiki Bar locations at Port Canaveral, Melbourne and Orlando removed Bud Light from his restaurants.
"I have to do what I believe God is telling me to do," he said Monday morning.
The decision came in response to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney posting an Instagram video of herself drinking Bud Light, talking about the beer's March Madness contest and showing off a Bud Light can with her face on it. The can was sent to Mulvaney, who has been documenting her journey to become a woman on TikTok, to celebrate the 365-day milestone of her transition. It was never available to the public.

Penovich said he can't align with that way of thinking, and that he has trouble supporting a corporation he feels might encourage children to seek surgery that would change their gender.

Grills was one of our favorite places to eat when staying in Canaveral. I don't see this hurting them but we won't be eating there anymore. Fish Lips will get our business.
