A Catholic group is calling for a boycott of the Miller Brewing Co. after the beer giant failed to have its logo removed from a "gay"-festival promo mocking the iconic Last Supper scene of Jesus Christ and his disciples.
Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, wants Miller to go much further and rescind its sponsorship of San Francisco's Folsom Street Fair, which has featured blatant displays of public nudity and performances by the anti-Catholic group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
"Never have we experienced greater corporate arrogance than in this dispute with the Miller Brewing Company," Donohue said on this morning's "Fox and Friends" show on the Fox News Channel.
Calling it an "incredibly outrageous and palpably anti-Christian event," Donohue posted photographs of past Folsom Street Fairs, warning that the images are graphic.
This year's fair is scheduled for Sunday.

I’m no longer Catholic, but I love Bill Donahue for how he defends the Christian faith! He’s not afraid to say ANYTHING to these libs!
I heard him on fox this morning, debating the pro-mo. He was tough, and all the pro-mo could do was to bring up other instances where the last supper had been used.
He called the pro-mo a loser. The pro-mo said that it was basically un-Christian to call someone a loser...
The Miller logos are still at the top of the sponsor list.
I saw the picture this morning on Fox & Friends - the one mocking the Last Supper. It was vile. I also went to the website of the Catholic League where they showed some pictures from this fag festival that Miller is sponsoring. Truly disgusting and perverted. I have no doubt that the people in these pictures are possessed by the Devil.
I used to drink Miller beer, but it tastes so bad that I just can’t drink it anymore - however, I’ve been to parties where it is offered and I will drink it - BUT NO MORE. I will refuse it & explain loudly why I am. I am sick and tired of this crap that Christians have to put up with anymore!
I just sent a scathing letter to Miller Beer. Here is their contact info if anyone else wants to:

Well, cross the “High Life” off of the grocery list.
Not to mention the Miller strategy is rather dumb, Miller is a blue collar product, why they would sponsor such an event is beyond me, but there it is.

Just sent my email. Julian may have a lot to read tomorrow.

If you go into the Miller website, under Community, they are pro “diversity” and give $$ to fund AIDS/HIV research. My guess is that they just don’t care what the public thinks.
Even though I am a Catholic I used to think Bill Donohue was sort of a crackpot. But I see —more every day— how necessary his speaking out is (and ours too). God bless Bill Donohue!
Hmmmmm, maybe you wore confusing Bill with Phil....who definitely is a crackpot.
I thought that was a stupid retort. The pro-mo was not only a “loser,” he was stupid too. Mocking the Last Supper by such scandalous depictions of homosexual behavior is only carried out by life’s losers and that’s who these people are. All non-losers should boycott Miller Brewery’s products. All Christians should say a prayer for Bill Donohue. It’s not easy to deal with the scum of society.
Don’t forget about those OTHER beers Miller makes:
Our diverse brand portfolio ranges from Miller Lite, the original light beer, to great legacies such as Miller Genuine Draft, Miller High Life and Milwaukee’s Best Light. It includes exciting imports like Pilsner Urquell and Peroni, regional craft brews Leinenkugel’s and Weinhard’s, and category leaders Sparks and Steel Reserve.

It looks like the difference between a hate crime and an act of passionate homosexual love is a “safe word”.
Given the disproportionate levels of AIDS/HIV among homosexuals, you’d think that such public sex acts as bloodletting would be considered biohazards.
Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind when I buy beer.
