Another useless fool who doesn’t understand what the fight is really about.

No one in the parade’s organization has said that a gay person can’t take part in the march. What they HAVE said is that gay activists are not welcome to engage in advocacy or tote political banners, because the parade isn’t about that. It’s about Irish heritage. No other group gets to turn the parade into a pet political cause, either.

It’s not about homophobia or any other nonsense. It’s about not being able to stop yourself from hijacking every single public event in an attempt to make it about your pet political cause.

Jim K. can stuff it. I think his beer is overrated, anyway. Way too many bittering hops for my liking.

I vehemently disagree. Sam Adam's Light IMO is just the perfect balance and is perhaps the best light beer on the market.

100% agree. Massive bitter bandwagon thing happening in beer making/marketing. 3 out of 4 beers are some dang ipa wannabe. Black and tan please.

Exactly right. Nobody gets to fly a "no new taxes!" or "end abortion" banner during St. Patrick's parade either (and no such groups would have the bad taste to try pulling such a stunt), so why should homosexual activists get to turn a day celebrating ethnic heritage into a political rally?

Here I have to disagree. If I have any complaint about their beer, is that it isn't hoppy enough. I never understood why flavorless dishwater like Bud Light define what "beer" should taste like to so many people.
