Guinness pulls out of St. Pattys parade over LGBT ban
Guinness beer has pulled its sponsorship from New Yorks famed St. Patricks 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 years 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 As this has not come to pass, Guinness has withdrawn its participation.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 parades anti-gay policy. The protest was cancelled after the Guinness announcement.

I was going to buy some tomorrow.
Oh well... Adios!
It’s stories like this that makes me glad I rarely drink any beer. It’s easy to boycott something I’m not buying anyway.
Speaking of Stonewall, it wasn’t busted by the police because of gays, it was busted because it was owned by the mob.
Oh, no, even the NY Post can’t get it right? It’s not St. Patty’s Day. He was not a chick! It’s St. Paddy’s Day.
“Well, lads, looks like we’re havin’ Chimay this year.”
I hope these companies lose massive amounts of business
‘course this is Kliban, of CATS fame. He died in 1990 at age 55, was married twice, but lived in SF. I don’t doubt that he was a raging leftist, at any rate, as the idea of the cartoon might suggest. But if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
Nobody, I mean NOBODY is "preventing" gays from participating.
They just have to celebrate St. Paddy's day
And leave the dick cannons, and public nudity at home.
For gays who CLAIM to be "just like everyone else", WHY does EVERY "gay float" happen, just HAPPEN to be in your face sexual?
Even at the Million Man March, you didn't see participants running around in blackface costumes.
Obviously the gay mafia is quite hypocritical as they exclude anyone who disagrees
They never promised to be tolerant of others, quite the opposite
Huh, true now that I think on that. They speak of diversity but that only includes gays. Guess they aren’t so hypocritical after all.
I was Mandarin man myself......but the original tower less Peninsula ranks with the Oriental....Royal Orchid...old Raffles.....Shangri La.....and my Mandarin as the best hotels in the far east once upon a time
Its not just pandering and fear
Look at top mngt and board
Guarantee libs aboard
Damn! I hate to give up a company for giving in to the gaystapo. So I ask my fellow freepers. I will be in Dublin for two weeks this summer. Do I do the Guinness brewery tour?
There’s a brew named Pliny the Elder? Now THAT is cool!
“so, what are all youse who posted Guinness! after the Sam Adams deal going to drink now?”
Find a Bevmo or better yet Total Wine Store and you will never run out of Beer options.
“Theres a brew named Pliny the Elder? Now THAT is cool!”
The same Brewery ( Russian River Brewery, California) also makes Pliny the Younger. Both are supposed to be great beers, but very hard to come by. Limited yearly releases, when Total Wine gets some in you can only buy one bottle at a time.
F Guinness.
F Sammies.
Guiness shall now be called gay piss.
Sammies Dyke Piss.
Many,many fine options now exist to these union run corporate gay beers.
