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."

No I haven’t, but when I was in Australia, I tried Swan Lager which is also very good.
Looks like Miller and the radio station are the only ones that don’t cater exclusively to perverts.
That’s some good company Miller is in bed with there: “Blow Buddies”? Excuse me?
This perversion sounds more like what Ms Coyote of the SF film commission would endorse rather than letting the USMC film a recruiting ad in that “fair” city! (appropriate name too)
I am boycotting Miller and also San Francisco. They won’t let the Marines film there, they won’t want ME there either. I might bring my flag, sing the SSB, wear my Club Guantanamo tshirt.
“Does anyone really drink that crap?”
Miller has bought up a lot of regional beers and brews them at the Miller plants. A lot of people are drinking Miller beer and just don’t know it. Lonestar and PBR are two of such beers owned and brewed out the Fort Worth Miller plant.
Time for this Wisconsonite to boycott the Milwaukee Brewers. I have already sworn of alcohol at my young age as my father drank himself to death.
You know ZeigenBock is an A-B beer right? specifically created to compete with Shiner.
It's a bit like Westboro Baptist not being indicative of Christians in general or the KKK and Caucasians.
As for Dylan Middlebrooks, it was his sixth year at the leather fair. He is 10 years old.
"It's pretty nasty because a lot of people here are naked," said Middlebrooks, who was there with his mother.

"Why do (these people) bring kids here? This is a leather fair for god's sake," said Bahran Aliassa, who was masturbating in public. He has been doing it annually for the past six years.

Father of two, John Kruse said it is an educational experience for children. He said there were conservative parents against having kids at the event.
"Those are the same close-minded people who think we shouldn't have children to begin with," he said.
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.
And people in this country have the gall to curse God for not stopping 9/11.
Age, it seems, has crept up on me (and kicked me in the arse)!

“I thought South African Breweries owns Miller?”
Yes SAB bought them out in 2002. the overall company is SABMiller.
Forget about Miller. What about a community that allows this to go on? It would be wise for these people to remember Sodom and Gomorrah.
