SAN FRANCISCO, September 25, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Folsom Street Fair, a gay parade which has for years included full nudity and sex acts on public streets is set to take place again this year on September 30 with city approval, partial public funding and sponsorship by Miller Brewing Company. This year several Christian and pro-family groups have called for public scrutiny into the event as the ad for the event is a mockery of Christ's Last Supper.
The ad portrays Christ and His disciples as half-naked homosexual sadomasochists with the bread and wine representing Christ's broken body and blood replaced with sadomasochistic sex toys.
"The most unimaginable and vile acts of debauchery are commonplace during the fair," said Matt Barber, Policy Director for Cultural Issues with Concerned Women for America (CWA). "Senator Larry Craig was arrested and driven out of the Senate for allegedly soliciting public 'gay' sex, yet during this event the city of San Francisco suspends the law and allows 'gay' men and women to parade the streets fully nude, many having sex - even group orgies - in broad daylight, while taxpayer funded police officers look on and do absolutely nothing."
Catholic League president Bill Donohue focussed his attention on getting Miller to act on the anti-Christian ad. "There are several sponsors to this street fair, but most are local and represent niche markets; Miller is the only national household sponsor," said Donohue. "Furthermore, Miller has a record of acceding to requests from various segments of the population that have objected to certain ads: it has bowed to the wishes of Muslims, African-American clergy, lawyers and feminists by pulling ads deemed offensive. Surely it will do the same in this instance: the ad, like the event, is morally depraved. Indeed, it is the kind of ad that only the enemies of Christians would entertain."
"We have contacted Miller Brewing and expect that they will cooperate and do what is ethically right," he added.
Stephen Bennett, a former homosexual who runs a ministry for those struggling to overcome same-sex attraction disorder challenged mainstream gay groups to condemn the vile anti-Christian display. "I call upon the homosexual Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, GLSEN, and the Gay and Lesbian Task Force to publicly condemn this blatant mockery of Christians and Christianity by some within their community, and condemn this sick public display of immoral behavior," he said.
Bennett also called on the Miller Brewing Company to pull their endorsement of the event.
Concerned Women for America is calling on California's elected officials - Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Governor Schwarzenegger and Senators Feinstein and Boxer - to publicly condemn "this unprovoked attack against Christ and His followers."

Close to a pun quite witty indeed. I believe you have the makings of a bumper sticker.
DONT FRUIT THE BEAR
Makes me glad I am not living in San Francisco.
or perhaps for the SF sickos
WHY BEAR THE FRUIT
WHEN YOU CAN
FRUIT THE BEAR
Now, I'll do good to hit one in 10 at 25 yards with with my Ruger bull-barrel .22!
Good fun! Screw Miller!
I just sent my e-mail to let them know I'm not patronizing an irresponsible company that supports sex deviates.
Who else is sponsoring this misguided activity?
Some of those names are pretty funny, actually. Looks like Miller is the only "mainstream" sponsor, unless some of those other businesses are just not in FL.
Yup. I’ve enjoyed cold Miller beers for years. That is coming to an abrupt stop. From here on out, I’m sticking with German imports and Guinness. (I can’t stand Budweiser and Coors isn’t even beer.)
Where’s the diversity? Why isn’t Mohammed included in these festivities?
and probably similar in topography
reaches way beyond, that last post should read.
They’re too afraid of PETA to show someone sodomizing a camel.
They don’t make Schmitts Gay anymore?

The names of some of the sponsors are even sick!
I guess I stop buying Miller Genuine Draft now, just fired a email to Julian Green expressing my disapproval.
Just brilliant, now I have to make another painful choice in life! :)
Must be the Miller’s LITE in THE LOAFERS competition.
