What’s a St. Patrick’s Day parade without Guinness? The organizers of New York City’s annual march down Fifth Avenue are about to find out.
The makers of the popular Irish beer announced over the weekend that they pulled their sponsorship of the parade due to organizers’ longstanding rule against gay and lesbian groups marching openly.
FALSE. Guinness execs didn't "suddenly" discover a "longstanding rule". They dropped their sponsorship (days out from the event) because of a THREAT of homosexuals boycotting their product.
