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 As this has not come to pass, Guinness has withdrawn its participation.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.

Back in the 60’s I was a Camp Counselor in Vt. One year one of my campers was Phillip Pabst. When camp was over all Male Counselors of age, received a case of Blue Ribbon. Any way Phillip was a great kid! I wonder if he’s running the place now!

I, for one, welcome this line drawn in the sand.

It is time to pick your side.

With all these refusals to homos, I might actually start liking St. Patrick’s Day (AKA Irish-American Chest-Beating Day).

What, they need to wear burkas or something?

Guinness has a long history of over priced beer making them rich, rich, rich.

” Frankly it bothers me that a political group can have so much power that they can scare corporations so easily.”

I wonder if it’s not that homosexual executives force these moves.

Discrimination against sodomites: not just a moral imperative, it’s plain common sense.

I’m sure Alec Guinness would approve of the parade. After all, a light-saber is nothing but an updated shilelagh.

NOOOOOOO Oh well. I gave it up for Lent anyway. Guess I’ll just have to give it up permanently.
