"While Miller has supported the Folsom Street Fair for several years, we take exception to the poster the organizing committee developed this year. We understand some individuals may find the imagery offensive and we have asked the organizers to remove our logo from the poster effective immediately.

We regret that our failure to adhere to our own policy led to an inappropriate use of our trademark and apologize to anyone who was offended as a result, particularly members of the Christian community who have contacted us to express their concern.

We are conducting an immediate audit of our procedures for approving local marketing and sales sponsorships to ensure that this does not happen again.

It is important to understand that the Folsom Street Fair does not target the general public in its communications. The fair itself and the organization's website are only intended for the adult alternative lifestyle community."

So Miller claims in its email response that:

"It is important to understand that the Folsom Street Fair does not target the general public in its communications. The fair itself and the organization's website are only intended for the adult alternative lifestyle community."

Really. Then why did the website say 17 year old teens were welcome?
17 welcome

And why did "parents" bring their kids, some as young as 2 years old dressed in dog collars and other bondage wear:
2 year olds

"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."

"I've seen a thousand dotting aunts and uncles, and a kid having the time of his life."
-Darryl Flick, executive director of Folsom Street Events

Article with the above quotes

As a sign of how far we've fallen, here's the voice of reason in all this:

"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."

Where’s the earthquake when you need one?

Hey, Hey! Some of us live in the vacinity. And besides, do you want more billions of taxpayer FEMA dollars being thrown away again?

[icwhatudo]

Same here-I got mine in seconds after I complained. They must be getting bombarded and have a quick set auto reply already in place. Wasn’t sure how to link an email so I linked the article that shows their email is BS instead.

Just Say NO to QUEER BEER!!

It is important to understand that the Folsom Street Fair does not target the general public in its communications.

No, they just target Christians. Go ahead, keep supporting those bigots. Miller, the queers of beer.

I live in Houston and will throw open my doors if an earthquake destroyed N. Calif, and the conservatives of that area need a place to stay. All 90 of them.

Years ago, on the day I and 8 other FReepers were nearly beaten when our police escort disappeared during a large protest in S.F., I wrote that should the Bay Area get nuked I would gladly take one for the team in order to make the world a better place.

So where is your team spirit, FRiend?

"While Miller has supported the Folsom Street Fair for several years,

THIRTY years is not "several". They have already begun by being untruthful.

It seems that Miller — which is owned by South Africa principles — finally understands a little about its major market.

Miller you big meanny. You cannot put these people back into the closet.

The fair itself and the organization's website are only intended for the adult alternative lifestyle community."
