You appear to be missing an important distinction here. The beer companies had long sponsored these parades and always made a nice amount of money in parade-related sales. They would not have chosen to drop their sponsorships under “normal” circumstances. They dropped because of intimidation from the radical homosexual activists, who are notorious for making real trouble for businesses that do not lick their boots with statements of “support.”

If you believe “freedom of association” comes at the end of a fascist pink fist, then I guess you’ll really enjoy the new Amerika.

What "intimidation" led the beer companies to drop their sponsorship? Were their trucks bombed? Their executives' families threatened? Those are crimes. Or are you talking about threats of boycotts, which are free speech?
