On September 30, San Francisco’s Folsom Street Fair will be held. The ad for this year’s gay/leather event depicts half-naked homosexuals at a table mimicking the Last Supper. The sadomasochistic theme features sex toys displayed on the table.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue explains his response today:
“Kudos to Concerned Women for America for bringing this obscenity to the attention of the public. Their strategy is to get California politicians to denounce this event. Our strategy is to get Miller Brewing Company to withdraw its sponsorship. Here’s why.
“There are several sponsors to this street fair, but most are local and represent niche markets; Miller is the only national household sponsor. Furthermore, Miller has a record of acceding to requests from various segments of the population that have objected to certain ads: it has bowed to the wishes of Muslims, African-American clergy, lawyers and feminists by pulling ads deemed offensive. Surely it will do the same in this instance: the ad, like the event, is morally depraved. Indeed, it is the kind of ad that only the enemies of Christians would entertain.
“We have contacted Miller Brewing and expect that they will cooperate and do what is ethically right.”

I never liked Miller, either. Miller Hi-Life always tasted skunky to me. Bud and Coors are just boring ... “back then” I drank Michelob ... which really isn’t much better than Bud.
Consumer Response Center at 1-800-MILLER 6 for anyone wishing to speak to them about the events they sponsor.
Laura Ingraham just mentioned that Miller ALSO sponsored the ILLEGALS RALLY!! This Gay crap has gotten out of hand. I had nothing against gays before, but it’s getting DISGUSTING.....they are acting like UNCIVILZED ANIMALS with this anti-Christian crap.
It sort of makes sense that Miller Brewing would sponsor such an event when you consider how their beer sucks.
The article says CWA is contacting politicians, not Miller. The Catholic League is going after Miller, and AFAIK, Catholics do consume a fair amount of the suds.
“Well, they can count me out as a consumer.”
Not sure a silent boycott is the best approach here. We need more press to wake other companies up.
If you call, don't insult their product. It's not a boycott if you refuse to drink it because it tastes like crap.
I do not drink anything miller makes and I do not diginfy it by calling it beer. It is a rice and corn based malt beverage.
I don’t understand your post. Could you explain it please?
Fags have to mock Christian Values to somehow make themselves feel better about their immoral and filthy butt-sex!
“I do not diginfy it by calling it beer. It is a rice and corn based malt beverage.”
Well put.
Quick stat note to Miller CEO and board members.
This gay sponsorship is worse than the Dixie Chicks marketing strategy, where they poed about 50% of their potential market.
Miller is trying to po over 90% of their potential market with this outrage.

(CNSNews.com) - “The Miller Brewing Company, a sponsor of this weekend’s homosexual “leather” street fair in San Francisco, has asked to have its logo removed from an advertising poster that has offended some Christians.”
Offended “some” Christians...
I suppose Miller decided it’s core market was more gays than it was Christians.
Miller Brewing is owned by SAB MILLER a London based company which is public owned & shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange.

Miller Beer? They can pump that stuff back into the horse.
Miller is one of the brands of SABMiller, a brewing and hotel conglomerate that is based in London and trades on the London exchange. It’s largest shareholders (the owners) are the Altria Group (29%) aka Phillip Morris, the former owner of Miller, and Bevco Int’l (15%) a Houston-based importer and distributer of beer/wine/liquor.
Miller has been exposed. Too late to pretend that they are sorry.
Maybe they can paint their race car in rainbow colors. Is there a gay guy in the “Man Club”? What did they mean by “Tastes Great, Less Filling”?
why would anyone in their right mind drink Miller products anyway. The only product they brew that is worth a crap is Leine. I’ve been boycotting them since the decision to sponosor the illegal immagrant rallys earlier this year-well with te exception of a Leine every now and then.
“Good Lord, imagine, in a city named for St. Francis, that this extraordinary depravity occurs so regularly.”
You would think that the San Francissys would have learned something from the 1989 if not the 1906 earthquake!
