St Patrick's Day: Guinness drops parade sponsorship over gay rights

Guinness has dropped its sponsorship of New York's St Patrick's Day march after organisers refused to allow groups marching in the parade carrying pro-gay signs.

The beer-maker announced its descision after gay groups threatened to dump its product from the shelves of the Stonewall Inn, the birthplace of the gay rights movement. Guinness is not alone in boycotting the annual event. Other beer companies joined the boycotts earlier, with Sam Adams withdrawing its sponsorship of Boston's parade and Heineken following suit in New York.

New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio will become the first mayor in decades to sit out the traditional march on Monday and Boston Mayor Martin Walsh didn't march in his city's parade on Sunday, either, after talks broke down that would have allowed a gay group to march.

So, on the list of "not to drink" -- Anheiser-Busch and Miller (support for illegals, support for sodomites); Sam Adams, Heineken, and now Guinness (sodomite-friendly).

So, what to drink?

• If you are in Europe, try to get Birra Nursia (brewed by Traditional Benedictine Monks)
• If you're in the Northeast, look for Spencer Trappist Ale (brewed by Trappist Monks)
• Also, allow me to suggest Chimay (another good Trappist Ale, brewed under the supervision of the monks)
• Konigshoeven
• and any other number of fine Trappist products.

By the way, let me suggest that you should be VERY careful about what beers you drink. A lot of brews that look to be smallish traditional European beers have been gobbled up by Anheuser-Busch / InBev, including, sadly, these:

Various Churches need to run floats expressing their views in Gay Parades.

Irish have always been the gays of the UK anyway.

I never regularly drank Guinness, so I can’t boycott. :) I’ll never drink ‘em now, though.

Most businesses operate from a bottom line, so I wonder ... do these beer companies have some kind of poll that indicates the faggots are heavy beer drinkers and their boycott of their beer would really hurt sales?

Or have the queers gotten into leadership positions of all these faggot friendly companies ?

So, Guinness believes it’s homosexual customers are more important than it’s Catholic customers?

[freerepublicchat]

There are so many great beers out there now that none of these is any great loss.

[melsec]

It really is all about them isn’t it!

[cuban leaf]

I think you’ve nailed it. They are responding to their information regarding their demographic.

FROM THE ARTICLE "The beer-maker announced its descision after gay groups threatened to dump its product from the shelves of the Stonewall Inn, the birthplace of the gay rights movement."

Guinness is submitting to threats

[Pontiac]

Well it is hard for me to be an effective boycotter of InBev because I haven’t purchased any of their products in a very long time.

So I guess I will continue to do so to the best of my ability.

[NoLibZone]

Guinness is gay piss now.

Bye bye Sammies too, Sammies is Dyke piss.

So many fine options now exist that its no great loss.

[jazzlite]

Looks like leadership to me..You can look almost anywhere and find that.

“So, Guinness believes it’s homosexual customers are more important than it’s Catholic customers?”

The freaks have more discretionary income (since they have no offspring), and they are plagued by alcoholism and other substance abuse problems. Guinness is something a straight person can only drink in limited quntities anyway, and perverts probably have no issues with the horrendous bowel movements the next day...

[knarf]

You really think there's THAT much money coming from the queer community ?

I don't

How can 1/10 of 1% actually affect anything ?

[Cold Heat]

How can 1/10 of 1% actually affect anything ?

Need to change that to "How should it".

Unfortunately it is, due to the liberal legal precedent that has been set called "If even one complains".

That is assuming the complaint is deemed to be politically correct at the time. Which should be the new definition of social insanity.

[who knows what evil?]

Repent, America...time is running out.

[Gaffer]

They’ve somehow bought into the myth that homosexuals comprise a significant percentage of the population. Hollywood and Madison Avenue have done that with their TV Sitcoms with the ubiquitous gay central character, along with a myriad number of ads that try to make you believe homosexuality is commonplace. It is not.

er.........I'm speechless.

Thoughts of drinking Miller Lite have entered my head and I'm scared to death of that!

[Lovely-Day-For-A-Guinness]

ps I emailed the SOB's and asked them to put their money where their mouth is by putting a pink triangle on all their merchandise.

I'm in mourning now.....
