St Patrick's Day: Guinness drops parade sponsorship over gay rights
The Telegraph ^ | 3/17/2014

Posted on 03/17/2014 2:26:39 AM PDT by markomalley

Guinness has dropped its sponsorship of New York's St Patrick's Day march after organisers refused to allow groups marching in the parade carrying pro-gay signs.

The beer-maker announced its descision after gay groups threatened to dump its product from the shelves of the Stonewall Inn, the birthplace of the gay rights movement. Guinness is not alone in boycotting the annual event. Other beer companies joined the boycotts earlier, with Sam Adams withdrawing its sponsorship of Boston's parade and Heineken following suit in New York.

New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio will become the first mayor in decades to sit out the traditional march on Monday and Boston Mayor Martin Walsh didn't march in his city's parade on Sunday, either, after talks broke down that would have allowed a gay group to march.

It must have been around 1990 that Miller aired a TV Ad stating that they were proud sponsors of “The Gay Olympics”! I have boycotted Miller products ever since.

To your point, perverts ENJOY horrendous bowel movements. It’s part of being “really dirty.”

And then they they get hepatitis.

What other large-ish brand in the US?

St Patrick is recognized as one of the world's great evangelists, having led over 120,000 people to Christ and the waters of baptism.

Actual Words of the REAL St Patrick:

For beyond any doubt on that day we shall rise again in the brightness of the sun, that is, in the glory of Christ Jesus our Redeemer, as children of the living God and co-heirs of Christ, made in his image; for we shall reign through him and for him and in him.

For the sun we see rises each day for us at [his] command, but it will never reign, neither will its splendor last, but all who worship it will come wretchedly to punishment. We, on the other hand, shall not die, who believe in and worship the true sun, Christ, who will never die, no more shall he die who has done Christ's will, but will abide for ever just as Christ abides for ever, who reigns with God the Father Almighty and with the Holy Spirit before the beginning of time and now and for ever and ever. Amen. (From Patrick's Confession)

Coors is owned by Miller. See comment above about Miller.

If you homebrew, don't forget the official blessing of beer (from the Rituale Romanum):
V. Our help is in the name of the Lord.
R. Who made heaven and earth.
V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.

Bless, + O Lord, this creature beer, which thou hast deigned to produce from the fat of grain: that it may be a salutary remedy to the human race, and grant through the invocation of thy holy name; that, whoever shall drink it, may gain health in body and peace in soul. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

I don’t know how to post pics but gay parades in San fransicko has always been in your face obscene.

Do the gays want to flaunt themselves naked or wearing bondage outfits in this religious celebration of Irish Catholics?

Not yet...but eventually, yes. The Devil has worked in them to utterly reject God...now they are evangelists for their cause.

Don't forget that we fight not against flesh and blood...

I had no idea only homosexuals were supposed to drink beer. I really don’t care. I drink wine.

Hypocrits don’t think about truth. They just want to feel good in the moment.

I suggest Drink Murphy’s Stout. Product of Cork, Ireland.

Tooth's Sheaf Stout from Oz is superior in every way to Guinness. The bottles are excellent for homebrewing as well.

Murphy's is good. So is Beamish. But, neither is widely available nor does it store well.

One of the worst things ever to pass my lips (other than when I talk) was some stale Murphy's in Southampton, England. That still gives me nightmares, and I don't think I'll need to be embalmed when my number's up as I'm sure there is still poison in my blood from that!

It is all the fag-lovers that they are scared of. There aren’t that many true sodomites in the world, but there are huge swaths that support and promote this behavior. For some reason that is beyond my understanding.
