Guinness pulls out of St. Patty’s parade over LGBT ban

Guinness beer has pulled its sponsorship from New York’s famed St. Patrick’s day parade over a controversial policy that prohibits gays and lesbians from marching openly, according to reports.

“Guinness has a strong history of supporting diversity and being an advocate for equality for all,” the company said in a statement on the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation website.

“We were hopeful that the policy of exclusion would be reversed for this year’s parade. As this has not come to pass, Guinness has withdrawn its participation. We will continue to work with community leaders to ensure that future parades have an inclusionary policy.”

The move came after the legendary gay bar, the Stonewall Inn, announced it would dump the beer from its shelves in protest of the parade’s anti-gay policy. The protest was cancelled after the Guinness announcement.

Did they miss the fact that it is Saint Patrick's Day?

Why is a Catholic holiday supposed to pander to gays?

Never Guinness. Never again.

Ever been to a nearby bar AFTER a St Patricks Day parade?

Never mind those either; they’re currently owned by Heineken.
