Despite intense backlash recently over rival Bud Light's partnership with LGBTQ and transgender star Dylan Mulvaney, Coors Light is remaining the title sponsor of the Pride parade in Denver.
Anheuser-Busch, which makes Bud Light, has lost $27 billion in value due to a campaign with Mulvaney that upset conservatives. Then the company upset progressives too after failing to support Mulvaney through the backlash.
Molson Coors, which is headquartered in Golden, Colorado, about 15 miles west of Denver, is standing by, with the parade remaining 'The Coors Light Denver Pride Parade' set for Sunday.
Several major corporations have backed the event - which is expected to draw over 100,000 visitors. Fellow alcohol manufacturer Absolut and companies such as Verizon, Visa, Walmart, Amazon and Target have backed the event.
However, local LGBTQ+ rights leaders see Coors sticking by the parade as a huge moment when it might be seen as a damaging business decision in the wake of the Mulvaney controversy.
'This is kind of the hard part of allyship,' said Rex Fuller, the CEO of the parade organizer Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Community Center of Colorado, told Axios.
'We are in a time period when it can be quite fashionable in some corners to pretty openly express homophobic, transphobic (sentiments) and racism, and I think that can make this uncomfortable at some points.'
Adam Collins, Molson Coors chief communications and corporate affairs officer, gave a statement to Fox News standing by the parade.
'At the end of a long day or the start of a great night, everyone deserves to feel comfortable having a drink and being themselves,' Collins said.

Hence the benefit of seeking out local breweries, food companies, vendors, etc. who fall below the radar. Although now that I'm typing this I'm realizing that all they have to do is muscle the banks to force the small businesses and licensing agencies to kowtow the woke crap.
This world 🌎🌍 continues to prove why Tribulation Saints will reject the Mark of the Beast.
Much of the world is godless.
1 John 2:15-17
King James Version
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Yes that’s how the world will continue to go
All national brands and chains should be shunned whenever possible.
I always try to find any local substitute.
Fine, let them crash and burn like AB.
Concur. If all the companies are doing it, who to boycott?
Sponsorship of pride isn’t anything new. Dylan represented something else. He plays a character that pretends to be a little girl at times, it’s a mockery of women and has no business being aimed at beer drinkers.
I’m glad that’s a quote from a dead man . . . ‘cuz I just stole it/
Definitely stealing that one! Thanks.
Add coors to the list of companies to destroy.

All I did was google Mussolini, copy and paste his photo, and write some words.
Coors is making easy to stop patronizing mega brewers. These pro pervert concerns need to go under. NO AB, no Coors.
As Adolph Coors Sr once said to Adolph Jr,”one day this will all be yourun.
