Sam Adams Pulls Its Sponsorship of St Patrick's Day Parade Over Gay Rights Boston parade organisers failed to reach an agreement with gay rights advocacy group, causing beer brewer to withdraw support

14 March 2014

The New York parade organisers have also come under fire for their policy toward LGBT people.

The maker of Sam Adams beer says it is withdrawing its sponsorship of Boston’s St Patrick’s Day parade a day after negotiations to allow gay groups to march broke down.

Boston Beer Co said in a statement Friday that it is disappointed that an agreement couldn’t be reached between the gay rights advocacy group MassEquality and parade organizers that would have allowed gay veterans to march. The parade is scheduled for Sunday.

It’s sad to see folks falling in with this, but it’s also sobering (pun perhaps intended with respect to a beer manufacturer).

Human sexuality was created by God and it was intended to bear the awe of God. What’s happening is that the awe of the devil is replacing that. God can still win but He has to be asked into the situation. God won’t force Himself down the throat of stubborn sinners.

Me too. I am sick of this crap. They can get their money to support homosexuality from someone other than me.

I think everyone should let them know how they feel about their decision.

You need to brush up a bit on your theology there champ.

God can still win but ...

Guess what? I read the last chapter of the Bible and God does and will win (no might about it).

God won’t force Himself down the throat of stubborn sinners.

Ever read the story of Sodom and Gomorrah? God will only take so much before he forces Himself.

He’s a noted Christian missionary from before the Catholic-Orthodox split, let alone the Reformation.

All Christians should honor St. Patty for what he did in this world, if not from the next.

As for me. I was baptized (in a Baptist church) on St. Patrick’s day. I got the blessings of the Irish but I also got the snakes to fight!

No, this is different. They go to hell still rebelling for all eternity. Do not miss my point for the sake of a picky misunderstanding.

God’s greatest win is not in the damning of sinners. That would be easy. It is in the saving of sinners. That was hard. It needed the Cross. Do not ever, ever, EVER sell that Cross short.
