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."

IwannaJihad says they can come to Teheran and hold their event on the streets there...
Iran doesnt have any homosexuals, so the US not be greedy, but must be kind and share some of ours...

Come on all you Freepers, get those pinkies going and type up your e-mails to Miller. I just shot off this e-mail to Miller Brewing myself:
I understand you are one of the sponsors of The Folsom Street Fair, a gay parade which has for years included full nudity and sex acts on public streets, which is set to take place this year on September 30 with city approval, and partial public funding. I find it difficult to believe that the Miller Brewing Company would sponsor this kind of event. In particular, 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. How you could give financial backing to an event that uses such an ad that mocks Christianity in such a vile manner, is beyond me. Have you no moral compass as a Company? Is it anything goes now?
I am very disappointed. I took the bottle of Miller Lite out of my fridge and poured it down the sink. It is my mini protest. I will not buy Miller anything again unless you pull your support for this event. I can no longer abide the continual degradation of our culture’s value systems in pursuit of being PC or in search of the almighty buck. I might add, I am not even coming at this from a particularly religious viewpoint; rather I am merely disgusted at the continual bashing of Christianity as if it were a pinata to be pummeled at will by those who would never deign to do the same to, let us say, the Muslim religion. Funny that.
You can do the right thing here, Miller Brewing, or you can do the wrong thing. It’s your choice, and it’s your products that can be shunned by those such as myself that find your support of the Folsom Street Fair reprehensible.
I hope I have made myself clear. Cheers from the Midwest...
Ever tried Victoria Bitter? I drank lots of VB down in the South Pacific and much prefer it over Foster’s. Haven’t seen it in the US(west coast), maybe you can get it where you live, good stuff, cheers!
Nope, not one bit of difference...
Fosters owns Miller. BTW Wisconsinites, Fosters also owns Leinie’s
Throw the miller out drink French or Aussie wine instead.
San Francisco is NOT part of the United States of America.
As the Aussies would say, American Beer is like "making love in a canoe". When you ask "why?" - the response: "its too f*cking close to water."
Now, I’ll do good to hit one in 10 at 25 yards with with my Ruger bull-barrel .22!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
What? I think I can do better than that with my thirty year old H % R .22 revolver! Did you run over that ruger with a truck?

I sent to various radio programs and talk radio shows.
heres another link about it...

“If you’ve got the time, we’ve got the beer (Miller beer)...
“Miller tastes too good to hurry through...
“But when it’s time to relax, Miller stands clear (beer after beer)
“If you’ve got the time, we’ve got the beer (Miller beer).”
Great letter! Short, to the point, and in your face - like they are.
Miller Beer is sponsoring this?
Did they not see what happened to the snickers bar after the superbowl?
The snickers makers are desperatly trying to re-macho the candy bar after a dumb homosexual joke commercial.
Miller is going to become the poofy beer.
San Francisco... in the process of falling into the abyss known as Hell.
The Ruger could still drive tacks at 25 yards! Age, it seems, has crept up on me (and kicked me in the arse)!
