I'm a sissy. Any particular recommendations for light beers (low bitterness)? And I'm not talking cheap American beer water, because that is no good either to me.

A lot of people would probably criticize this recommendation for being a little too sweet, but I found that Venn, a lager by Ninkasi, is actually pretty good. Virtually zero bitterness that I could detect, and I'm pretty good at picking bitterness out of almost any non-brown ale, so I'd suggest giving that a try.

If you're only talking about low bitterness, and not about low alcohol content, then you may also think about trying a couple of different stouts. If you're looking for a dessert drink, chocolate stouts are fantastic. Stouts, in general, are less bitter than your typical pale ale flavor profile, but are dark, strong and taste of roasted malts. They're definitely not light in any sense of the word, other than not being particularly bitter, though.

Blue Moon is also pretty famous for non-bitter wheat ales. In particular, Belgian White is pretty decent. Not as bold, in flavor, as the others I suggested, but still pretty good. If you can handle a little extra bitterness for the sake of better flavor, UFO White is a better wheat ale than most of the Blue Moon varieties, in my opinion.

Everyone knows margaritas while listening to katy perry is manliness thing ever to do. Some times I even kick back with some fruit drinks and pop in some backstreet boys. Everyone know how I get it in na mean.

  Oh, I'd actually recommend Miller High Life over Genuine Draft.  If you have not yet tried it, it's a nice lighter beer for a hot day.

I thought lighter beer, and offered a couple dark ones based on his description of lighter as being less bitter. I am not entirely certain what the question is, though, so my recommendations may have been a little off.

Primarily low IBU. No beer water. I guess I've seen some of the low ibu stuff described as light but I'm a beer newbie.

Okay, that's about what I thought. I'll let my recommendations stand, then. A lot of the ones I suggested aren't "light beer," but none of them are very bitter and tend to be medium- to full-bodied, so you'll get some flavor out of them, too.
